VMod rings question

[Commie]

I've got my new VMod a few days ago and loving it. Kinda. Got some weirdness going on.

It came with a carto and an atty.

Atty had a spiffy silicone ring on it, just below the juice holes. If I drip in it, it vapes great. If I squonk, I start getting the burny taste like it's running dry. Try as I can, I can't get it to flood.

Carto didn't have the same ring, and vapes great from squonking. If I squonk too hard, it floods, but I can suck up the extra juice with a bottle just fine.

I got some shorty cartos as well, but their juice holes seem to be in a different place from the one that came from Vapage, and they taste dry.

So -- am I doing something wrong? What is the significance of that silicone ring?

Thank you!

Try gravity feeding it. Tilt the vmod so it's roughly 20 degrees or so pointed upside down and squeeze the bottle. Helps to feed to atomizer better. It is, after all, a 'gravity fed' bottom feeder.

Commie, the ring is for use on the old V1 VMod. You don't need it with the V2.

Thank you both, this helped.

I still can't get it running with the atomizer, at least not as reliably as with a carto.

However, my problem with the 3rd party shorty carto was a bad carto I tried a different one, and it's working wonderfully. Also working with my old standard size kanger cartos, which I'm ecstatic about.

Funny, I don't even use the carto b/c the atty has been so damn seamless.

For me I tilt it upside down and wait to see a couple of air bubbles float down. Then I tilt back up and and give one squeeze and I am good to go for 5-6 vapes.

I have found the tilt while vaping and squeezing the bottle works best for me. You don't have to squeeze the bottle very much though. It helps pull the liquid into the atty while taking a hit....
