think i burnt my carto

[Brandon610]

Last night i put a new carto in my tank.
using http://happyesmoker.com/cartomizer_5pack.html I punch my own holes.

was vaping for about 6 hours last night and everything was good,

today, i was was vaping for about 2 hours then i noticed, my drip tip started to get warm and the top of my tank was getting warm also, then i noticed i was hardly getting any smoke and started to taste a burnt taste with the smoke i was getting, then the battery would not even make that cooking sound when you press the button to vape.

I took out the carto out of the tank, (never putting over 3 ml in a tank again)
when i took out the carto i smelled a burnt popcorn smell, looked in side the carto, it was dry and with alittle lite brown on the cotton( whatever that is), but noticed not even a drop of juice came out of the carto.

So blew on the drip tip to see if it was clogged or something, when i did, some black spec of what looked like juice came out, and really smelled like burnt popcorn..

now i have a new carto and everything is working again.

Should i have primed the carto like i did yesterday, before i used it today, maybe that would of not burnt my carto

thanks in advance for the help...

No, it should have been fine in your tank with juice in it overnight. You should only need to prime a new carto before you put it in the tank. Don't keep vaping with a dry tank - top it up as soon as it gets very low.

Hopefully it was just a one-of and you won't have any further problems.

I had the same thing happen to me just now. I made the mistake of filling the tank all the way to the top and wasn't paying attention and didn't notice it wasn't feeding into the carto . YUCK!!! I think its important to leave a small space at the top of the tank clear. Something to do with air pressure or something. The only time that happenes to me is right after I fill a tank to the top.
