How high are you filling the tank? The liquid has to be lower in the tank compared to the tube inside the cart. Maybe that is a problem?

I would say no, cause I fill mine ALL the way up, even to the point where when I put the thread end back through the hole it pushes some juice out with it... Once fillup is complete, I grab a paper towel and blow out all the excess juice that managed to get inside the center tube. So my conclusion would be exactly the same as Grammie's 1) Did not blow out the juice after fill up or 2) You cut/punched you own cartos and you just went deep and punchured the Draw Tube, thus allowing the fed juice into it, causing syphoning each draw.

For what it's worth, I fill from the top with a blunt tip 10ml syringe. I can fill it to the very top using the syringe with no mess and no paper towels. I just push the carto down into the Liquinator until I have a small gap between the top of the carto and side of the black Liquinator cap (just enough to fit the syringe into). Put needle into the tank and top it off (until there are no or a very small air bubble) then push the catro back up to seal the tank. Any extra I may have put into the tank then just runs into the batting when I seal it back up. No muss, no fuss, no paper towels...

Thats the intellgent route to take and will do the same thing when I order my Atties from CCV, cause I dont have a syringe lol and they give you one for free (and a choice of drip tip) with the 15 pack deals!

Hey guys, I'm wondering... does this system allow cartomizers to last longer? What's the average age of a cartomizer using the Liquinator?

They last me a lot longer then just a carto alone. I've had cartos last 2 weeks with it. I think the ones that only last for 2 days were bad to start with. For me I can tell if its a good carto in the first day.

I am going to have to day Definately... Its the perfect compliment to a carto. It keeps it wet ALL the time and thats how they are supposed to be ran. We as users don't always do this because the whole refill thing... Originally cartos like KR-808s were advertised as disposable... People decided that they were going to refill them and it worked. I guess what I am getting at is this... With the tank ALWAYS feeding the carto you dont "sometimes" run it dry and to the point where degradation happens at a MUCH faster rate... thus extending the life of the cartomizer... I hear people that only get two days and I hear people that get 2-3 weeks per carto. That said... There are a LOT more variables at work then just the tank... Volts, LR/SR res, vaping habits etc...

I also fill mine all the way to the top.. no problem at all. With my current device, I even have to raise the tube up about halfway off the carto while I screw it in to the battery because the battery connection is a bit tighter than normal. I hardly get any juice spillage even in this scenario let alone leakage from the carto itself.

I have occasionally, and by that I really do mean it is very rare, get a little juice in the centre tube whether through filling or just how I lay the device on its side or whatever but it's never to the point of sucking in mouthful's of juice. The amount is no more than a standard carto/atty setup and clears within a few draws. Of all the time I have had it, I've never once got juice in my mouth nor had juice leaking down the sides of my device as a result of the carto leaking.. even when I have pulled the tube up to assist in tightening on to the battery connector.

The only time that I've had juice is my mouth was when I slotted a carto for the very first time. I was getting juice in my mouth and gurgling, so I removed the carto and dissected it, that's when I realized I had gone too deep with the dremel and had hit the inner tube. So I then drilled a new slot on a new carto, made the slot the right way that time (lesson learned) and ever since then I've never had the juice-in-the-mouth problem again ... a perfect vape over and over again.

MXBNW... Are you going to put your Liquinator to rest with your EQ? I only ask this cause with my Provari setup, I can't really see anything better... Not to say there isnt. And all the choices out there and the subjectiveness of people /shrug

LOL nope, Its working just fine on my Buzz right. :)

I should have been more specific... My set up and yours iguess with the devices ie. Provari w/liquinator...

Ok I see, its a tough call. I like my LQ on my Buzz for what it is a never ending carot. My EQ is like auto dripping which I like better.

Flavor on the EQ is all determined by volts, juice and atty.

I always have a hard time doing a comparison of this type. I vape a lot and use a lot of different devices to meet my needs some tomes of the day or hour :)

I like to use ST cartos in my LQ and put it about 4 to 4.5v on my EQ I was using a 2.4 ohm 510 atty at about 4.5 to 4.8v each are set up with different juice.

I love each for what they are. I have 5 LQ tanks now and have two filled each with different juice (Sweet) My VV mods are being used with tobacco juice at HV.


Now I do have to say there is a considerable advantage with the LQ and a VV mod less things to go wrong.

My EQ is on its way back to the maker to be replaced. This is something that is common in any new product and all part of the game I play with mods. (I have a few) :)
