tank and juice problem

[misplacedsooner]

maybe.
i think my carto may be going out on me and i just filled my tank back up with my favorite juice.
i noticed earlier that the hit stiffened and then started to not produce the vapor it was before. now it seems to be getting a little better as far as production goes but still a bit stiff.
the carto is a boge 3.0 running on 5.8 on my provari. im pretty new to the tank thing as this is my first and first carto run on it.
it made me wonder what to do if the carto goes out while my tank is full? i dont have a syringe to pull the juice out so i can change the carto.
help me prepare for the inevitable,lol

What kind of tank do you have? You can always take off your drip tip, and with the tank still attached, carefully slide the tank up until there's a gap between the cap and the cartomizer, then tip it upside down and let the juice run out into a container. Replace your cartomizer, then use that juice to fill it up with.

its an ss liquinator. i think i got it figured out by sliding the threaded end down and using an eye dropper to suck out the juice...time will tell when i have to do it.

With high voltages, the cartomizers get a little hot and causes the plastic straw that runs through it to shrink and constrict the airflow.
With the S-T-duel-coil XL's 2.5ohm, anything over 4.5V will cut its life about 1 day.
There is no way to restore it that I know.

can you pull your carto out partway from the bottom and push your new carto from the top though? not breaking the seal. if that made anysense at all?

good call, i never thought of that. im gonna try this.
thought about running a small nail down the tube to see if its constricted.

well, it worked!! to top that off i punched my first carto and it hurt!! i placed it in the binding of a book and had a sharp screw....i find cartos tend to roll alot,lol. i also find holding the screw threads real tight hurts after several misses, but most of all i find that hitting your thumb with a hammer hurts most.
i punched 2 holes cause i didnt think the holes were big enough.

I use a lot of carto tanks and for some reason I found the boge 3.0 don't seem to last as long as the 2.6.-2.8 boge. To change carto in a full tank I just push the threaded end in a bit then slip the open end of the new one over the threads and push all the way thru. Works good and don't spill a drop. Good luck punching holes. You could get one of those puncturing saddle valves. Makes it a lot easier. Or get the cream of the crop hole puncher. $40.00 from VIPvaporcig.

ok, im gonna have to get a saddle valve or dremel. the holes i punched were not big enough i guess as im getting an awful burnt taste so much that my juice tastes too bad to vape. the punched one i had before had a much bigger hole, i cant imagine how he got a hole that size in it without puncturing the center tube.

Never had burnt problem and been using tank with dual carto for a while. but they do get clogged and i use syringe to pull juice out when new cartomizer is due.

 

[misplacedsooner]

thats a good call on getting a favorite juice out of the carto. the first i had got very clogged and i know there had to be alot of juice left in it.
i think my problem is my holes were too small on this cart i did.

If you just have to replace the carto, put the threaded in of the new carto in the old one, and just slide it down. You'll lose a couple drops of juice, but its fast and easy.

ok, im on a learning curve for sure. my oldest got me a dremel and i marked and went to cutting my first carto....i think i cut way to deep as it reads op on my provari. i cut another and im getting kind of a harsh taste now. these are sr boge cartos going at 4.3v. i wonder if im just spoiled as ive been dripping on a 306 atty exclusively for several days.

 

[misplacedsooner]

im wondering if i should make another cut on the other side of the carto to make this work...this is frustrating as i know what the vape can be.

If you got the punched one from Vaporescence at the same time you got the Liquinator tank, I'm a DFW local and can vouch for the fact that they have a well-outfitted workshop. If you're punching with a nail or awl, try a larger(wider) gauge one to open a bigger hole with minimal penetration.

They sell punched cartos too, as you probably know.
