Super shorty life span?

[juicefreak]

I picked a few of these up and really like that they don't leak and are easy to fill, but after a couple days they just die for no reason. no warning like burnt flavor, etc. just kaput. Using 3.2's at 5 volts. Lost 2 in the past 4 days and am wondering if it's truly burnt out or if it's a connection problem?

I'm using them with a Precise P18.

thx!

I use these(1.7Ω) on my 3- Reos, and get 2-3 weeks out of them, but that's at 3.7v. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

I've got a couple 2.0 that I use at 3.6 to 4 volts. They get hot but are still going strong after a couple of weeks.

thx guys. yeah i was disappointed because i was waiting for them to break in (too airy) and then just out of the blue they quit. 3.2's should be fine at 5volts. i just take little hits. I have one more to try. I hope it works out because i really like the way they absorb juice, can drip the to top off and most of all don't leak out the battery hole.

i saved them so i can try to autopsy them and see what went wrong, but usually i snap the wire in the process and learn nothing ;-))

i'll see if i can wiggle the battery end and get some life

i have 3 1.7ohm for 3.7v and one 3.2 for 5v and been vaping all but 2 of 1.7 for over a month without any problems. they do need to be cleaned every week but other than that they have worked flawless for me

Just out of interest, what are these super short cartos used for? Bottom feeding? Mini tanks?

Testing them with a MM will tell you if it a connection problem or not. Might save tearing up a good carto.

i have always tested mine on a mm. so i know they are good before i use them and have yet to have one fail on me. i know i might get one with a short life but for the price i can't complain. i also have seen the ohm go up on my first one it went from 1.7ohm to 2.3ohm from 6 weeks of use and still going like it was new. might be time to retire that one and start using the replacement i got for it

I really need to get into the habit of testing mine before I start filling them, as I have wasted a bit of juice lately on some smoktek cartos that were bad out of the gate...

 

[oplholik]

I got into the habit of checking each and every cart I get. When I get a new batch, I check them all out, doesn't take long.

 

[TheBlueAdept]

The ones I get are individually wrapped, so ill have to stick to 'as needed'

I'm going to have to give these a try on a SD keychain batt- correct me if I'm wrong but that would be the "worlds smallest PV" at that point, yes? hehehe

i should do that - my husband has one of those, but i don't know how to test it. i've been too lazy to learn how lol.

i pulled it apart and the coil was junked up really bad in 2 days so it must be the homebrew juice i made. some burnt on the cloth too. I love them though!! will def get some more. these were just a test to see if i would like them and i really do like how minimal the filler is. i'm convinced XL cartos or reg size that are packed too tight, are just a total waste of juice and way too much trouble. if i can perfect using these i will be estatic. Cartos have gotten so bad with major leaking lately (boge, smoktec) that i've gone to plain old 510 attys at 5 volts and they last a long time. These may be an option for me.

will let you know how my final 2.0 ohms one does at 3.7 volts. i like them SO much i'm afraid to use it though lol. i like to save special ones ;-))

i love every one i got and the only time i every had any problems was when i used to thick of a juice on one and burned it. out of 5 that i have got one was burned do to me and that was a learning curve for me on how to tell if the juice is to thick or not. i use mine every day and i'm never afraid to burn them out if i do i will just get more

There is a ohm tester out now, just screw carto or atty in and turn the switch on. A lot less hassle than MM, no leads, no settings to remember. Several vendors carry them.

thank you!!! i will def try PG juice in my last one then. That may have been the problem. I appreciate it. I want these to work, because there is so much crap out there that it gets to be pita when you want to order something, wondering if it's a dud out of the box.

 

[juicefreak]

sounds cool, but i have too much vaping crap as it is I'll maybe try the ohm meter we have, but it's just easier to throw them out for me.

 

[dragonrage]

well 6 more ordered and will be on there way. i love the vape from them so much couldn't help buying more

I have had mine for at least three weeks now. Very easy to clean as well.
