V2 E Cig Question

[dreww2021]

First post!

Just got my V2 cig last week. I have noticed with the automatic that I have to inhale pretty hard to get it to turn on. (more now than when I first got it) Do you think this is typical? Or is there maybe something I need to clean?

Thanks in advance!

Your atomizer might be gummed up from the juice you are using. Are you using cartos? Can you see through the airway hole or is it closed up? Your attys/carto probably needs cleaning.

I am using Halo liquid in the V2 cartos (after boiling them). I can see through the airway hole and the same thing is happening with a brand new carto.

You may need to adjust the battery connector.... They can get pushed when tightening a carto on... Take a small safety pin and gently stick it along the sides of the battery post and lift/pry it up. Alternating sides until its near flush with the end of the threads....

Can you tell anything by these pictures?

I suspect the cartos or the juice. Yes, clean the cartos. V2 prefilled cartos use all PG juice, filling is not made for thick juice. If you vape a heavier juice, might get stuffy. Have you tried V2 live-chat (not that it was always useful)?

Ya I talked to them yesterday on the live chat. They suggested pulling the carto off and blowing in to the battery a few times then charging it for a couple hours. No success. I think i'll try different cartos. What kinds would you recommend?

The only other thing I can think of is you may have gotten juice down inside the battery hold and messed up the switch. Have you cleaned the battery threads, well and hole real good?

I am pretty new to this, but am loving the cartos from Ikenvape.com with my V2s (both manual and automatic).

I have cleaned the threads. How do I clean in the hole? And is there a way to clean that switch?

Sorry, can't help with cartos, don't use them. I've only used V2's stock cartos. V2 e-cig is a KR808-D1 model, so any carto for that model should work. See "Kaefo" post above, I couldn't quote it into this post.

You can twist a paper towel real tight and poke it into the hole. An alternate solution which I have to say "try at your own risk" is use canned air and spray into the battery hole with the straw that is provided with the can of air. I saw this demonstrated on YouTube but when I tried it the battery light stayed on for several seconds after doing this. It didn't hurt the battery but you never know. The battery is sealed so I don't think there is anyway to clean the switch without cutting into the battery.

Got some cartos from litecigusa.net ordered. Hopefully that'll take care of it. If not ill blow some air in there. Thanks!

Did you try adjusting the post like I mentioned.... I have 6 V2 batteries and the power cig and the note book cig..... Also you could try adjusting the post on the cartos them selves to get a better connection......

Nice follow-up! That's dedicated "volunteer" help.

Well finally found a safety pin small enough and so far so good! How often so you have to adjust yours?

 

[Scotay87]

Hardly use them any more.... But before I did it when ever I cleaned them... I would also adjust them... You should clean them once a week or so.... Before you ask here is a link to a vid even though it is v4l same batts....

I check mine whenever I take carto's off n top them off. Basically if I unscrew the carto, I check the holes and threads. Haven't had to adjust posts yet. I don't recommend using a wooden toothpick, I broke one off in the hole, lol. Yep it was a stupid move, n I knew it was going to happen. It was just handy. Now I have my "dedicated" safety pin.

For future batteries, I recommend manual KR808D-1 batteries. The modern manual KR808D-1 batteries from Vapor4Life should be practically sealed on the threaded end and the SmokelessImage Volt manuals are well sealed (though only available in some colors - I got a sweet Raspberry color one there). Much much safer from being damaged by carto leaks and easier to get a good hit. They should work with your V2 cartos and cost much less than V2 charges for batteries. Won't have as long a warranty but you are less likely to have problems with manuals.
