Tips on Using a Carto

[marcellus7]

Hey guys, I just got my Reo Grand this past Friday from the classifieds. It's been a lot of fun so far, but my only problem is i keep flooding my cartos trying to "squonk". I eventually get it back to normal and am able to vape until i need to re-squonk. I'm sure it probably will take a little getting used to, but can you guys share some tips you may have from using a Reo with a carto?

This is my first mod, and other than that problem, the flavor and vapor production are just great. Mine came with 6v, 4.8v, and 3.7v batteries and its pretty fun trying different combinations and the difference in vapes. Im using some Boge 2.0 cartos.

I use cartos too and you just have to learn to squonk lightly as you draw.

Take a pull without hitting the fire button & Squank, you will hear your carto fill up, then start vaping !

Well thats pretty simple! Is that how you guys do the initial fill too?

I fill my cartos prior to using them on my REO. Just like I always did. But I believe there are some who fill them by squonking with the REO.

Next time I switch out my carto, I'll try it that way and see what happens.

I actually filled the one im using now squonking, but thats also how I flooded it the first time, lol. Maybe I just should fill it partway with a first squonk, and then do the quick pulls like mentioned above.

I always condom fill the first time and squonk later. I have to look when I'm Squonking though I just havent been able to blind squonk sucessfuly since it's been hot without flooding.

You need to fill them before using. Trying to squonk and fill would take a long time. I drip between 18 & 22 drops in the boge lr ones before I put them on a reo.

I syringe fill for the first use. Very easy, very quick, very clean, and very effective. Fills from the bottom up and works great. If you order the boge 2.0 carto deal from Crystal Clear Vaping, Andrew includes a syringe, needle, and drip tip(s).

While some don't reccomend it, I also catch up squonk. So if I am driving to work, I may vape on the carto alone, then take 2 or three squonks when I get there. It can however make for a very wet carto, so draw slowly and press lightly.
