vapor king .. please help!

[bijo]

I just got the kit and when I try to screw some cartomizers into the battery it won't go all the way. And when I try vaping using the passthrough it won't pull because it is not screwed tight.

Some cartomizers (555) goes in perfectly but others don't. What do I do?

there are differences in tolerances of threads on some attys and cartos.
did you email the supplier?

I'm betting it's the Cool Carts you are having a problem with. There have been numerous threads about this.....they say to use some steel wool or fine grain sand paper on the battery threads and it solves the problem.

Yep it is the Cool Carts. Is it common for the cool carts not to produce much vape after inhaling ? When I inhale and then exhale I see no "smoke" come out ..
So cool carts are not preferred?

Also how many puffs approx does a wow cart last? I don't know why but after smoking like 30-40 puffs the wow-555's taste is almost gone.
Any ideas? Is it because I am using a USB passthrough ? (while my 2 batteries fully charge)

Lots of folks love the cool carts. I prefer the premium carts because I like a warmer hit. Therefore, I can't give you any good info on the amount of vapor to expect from them. Consensus on cartos is that one cartos is equal to about a half a pack of analogs. One analog is about 10 to 15 puffs.....hence, one carto should yield about 100 to 150 puffs. Everyone vapes a little differently though so results will vary.
Also, the batteries come partially charged so you don't need to leave them on the charger for hours....just till the light turns green on the wall charger, or blue on the USB charger.

Purchase some juice and do a search to refill using the condom method on cartomizers.. Will save you a ton of money.

Yes it will...keep em wet.

I've posted this before, but I think it's very helpful especially to noobs:

YouTube - A double demo! The Cartomizer Condom Filling Method, and the Taryn Spin.

I have never had a problem with the Cool Carts as far as vapor production or with the threads. I have had problems with the premium filled cartos though. Probably just an old batch. This is pretty new technology relatively speaking, so I'm sure they are making improvements all the time.

I am a day into my VK and have seen a couple of thread tight issues with different carts.

So far, I have just screwed them down till they just start to seize up, then back them off a little then re-tighten them. Sometimes it takes a few times, but they have all eventually seated.

Thank you so much Twilight for the sandpaper tip. I have about 10 boxes of 808 cartos that don't fit any of my 808 batteries and the sandpaper trick works like a charm. I got my "bad" cartos from vapor king first (the cool carts) and then just got more from litecig that didn't screw in all the way either. I guess it's maybe more of a battery thread issue? Anyway, who cares now with the sandpaper and I'm just so glad I don't have to change to another type of ecig. I love the kr808d's.

Anyway, thanks!

Hi,
Try to push the end of the atty up a bit with a knife. Sometimes the inner part is out of level and that might create a problem.

O I do lol

 

[cookiebun]

I didn't see the date of the original post.

I love my kr808d as well.
I guess I'm very lucky. I haven't had a single problem with any of the cartomizers I got from 3 different vendors.
