Are you vaping cartos at 6V? If you are, how do they hold up? BTW, nice job on the videos.

For your information:

I purchased a 5v 2amp wall USB adapter for my passthrough. I wanted to see if I would get more vapor and taste with this arrangement.

After a few days using this setup, I found that I had destroyed at least 3 refilled cartos.
The filler had burned through on all three-leading to an indescribable bad taste.
I had been using and refilling these same cartos for months without any problems.

Cleaning the affected cartos out did not help. I found that once the filler is burned through, it’s curtains for the carto.

I have since reverted to my 5v 1.5amp adapter, and the burn through problem has disappeared.

I usually vape cartos at 3.7v and 5v. I have vaped them at 6v but not often. I know a bunch of people who vape them at 6v and they don't seem to have a problem. Your mileage may vary.

That can happen at higher voltages and higher amps. The trick is to keep your cartos as wet as you can. If you vape cartos at 5 or 6 volts, you need to check them and drip some more juice in them every now and then to prevent burning.
