So I got some premium Carto's from V4L and they are acting strange... I've got two batteries from LeCig and two of the Carto's worked with both batteries and the other three worked with one battery or the other... Now the two that worked with both batteries don't work with either of them. I had refilled one of the ones that worked with both and it still isn't working so it's not due to a lack of juice. Has anyone else had this issue of some carto's working with some batteries and not others....

No vape. They have airflow. The first three were like that new out of the box and now the two that did work with both batteries aren't working with either and the one's that worked with one or the other of my two batteries are still working with one or another of the batteries. The batteries are fully charged and I've tried screwing the carto on and off numerous times thinking that it wasn't lining up correctly or something but that didn't help either.
I've had some strange things happen with cartos but other than a few with blocked airflow, I've never had one that straight up wouldn't work.
They are auto batteries. LeCig's are D1 batteries and I've tried puffing and puffing on them to see it they just needed to be warmed up to get going but nothing. When I was using my greensmoke I got a couple cartos that wouldn't work (vape/heat up) but I only had one battery so I wasn't able to try them on a different battery. I just find it all rather odd that they will work on one battery and not the other and then the two that did work on both just not working period.
Anyway, I've ordered 3 different menthol flavor premium carto 5 packs from V4L that should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have any issues with those and I can narrow down my daily menthol vape (Parliment, Virginia, and Smilin also ordered the wintergreen to see how that is) and order some juice from them instead of the cartos all the time.

The only thing I can think of is 2 possibilities.
1. Dead carto
2. The center connector on the cart is pushed in too far.
Try this, get a pin or mini flat head screwdriver, gently wedge it under the center pin of your carto, when I say center pin I mean when you are looking at the threaded side you will see a round metal piece, probably with a slot in the middle and a small hole in the very middle.
Gently pry up on this pin, not too hard but what you want to try to do is raise it up a bit from the bottom, do this uniformly around the whole pin. When it looks like it is higher then before, gently screw in the cartomizer, as it starts getting to the bottom, take a vape after each slight screw down to see if it has made contact.
If this model offers manual batteries, I would highly suggest getting them. They will make for a better vape.
Please let me know if this works for you.
Good luck

Col. Gaunt. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try it when I get home from work tonight. It definitely sounds as though that could be the cause of the carto's acting the way the are. I'll let you know how it works out.
That's exactly what the problem was... Thanks a bunch for the advice on how to fix my issue.
I am hooked on the sour green apple cobbler! I ordered a 30ml bottle of the liquid.
