[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. Fruits tend to be harder on coils in my experience. They have mor “stuff” in them. If you put in a fresh coil of the same type it might clean up for you. Back in the day you could soak, recutting, and reuse coils. These days not so much. The “coil” in them is often tinfoil thin and will shred if you try to even unpack it. With coil cartridges it toss em and screw in a new one. The vape is nice, but it gets to expensive for me. I’m a cheap ........ So I do RDAs, RTAs and RTDAs. I ran across the term “RBA” which sort of describes that whole group. A rebuildable can “work” for a month too, but it’s not safe in either case. “RBAs” are so cheap to rewick I can just do it whenever I feel like. With coil cartridges I’d have to baby them along to get maximum use out of each cartridge and it wouldn’t be a whole lot cheaper than smoking. (It would still be cheaper, just not as much). Too much trouble. I did give my sister a coil system. She’s got a lot more disposable income and changing a wick takes a bit more time and is messy. She’s not big on messy. [/QUOTE]
