[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23663598, member: 43994"] Might be buildup. The issue with cartridges is they can’t be cleaned. This is one of the reasons they can keep up and even sometimes surpass imperfectly built rebuildables. They can use “coil” systems that can’t be cleaned. Usually they seem to be some sort of stamped mesh, though they’re called “coils” they usually don’t have actual coil shaped wire in them. They still experience buildup though, so you have to change the coil and throw the old one away. Some rebuildable people change their wick every day. I do it about twice a week (I’m a slob) but that is often how frequently coils need to be changed. The advertised time is the maximum time a coil can be used. Usually it’s shorter. Frequently it’s actually twice a week, same as me, though it may say “5 days” It could be 4 or 3. Even two with a really high buildup juice. Flavorwest pomberry for example is incredibly high buildup. When I vape that I change my wick and clean my coil every day. It varies from ingredient to ingredient.
