Volcano Inferno Tank Problem Cant take a Drag

[Erok]

Hey guys i just got my Inferno tank in the mail today and the drip setup works great~ Although my tankomizer seems to be having a HUGE problem. When i have the tankomizer off the battery it works perfect i can take draws with no issues but, when i screw the tank onto the Battery i can no longer suck any air. I tried removing the O-ring that is on the battery and that hasnt helped. I also have pierced the plastic punch out and removed it. I have also tried the tankomizer on both batteries and the same problem is happening. When i take a drag on the unit no airflow is going thru it and it creates a Vacuum. if i back the tankomizer off the battery 3-5 turns it can breathe and works to take a drag but when i tighten it up it blocks 100% of the airflow. What could be causing this? and Has this happend to anyone else?

In general, only tighten things enough to contact and work and that includes atomizer, cartomizer, chargers. If you screw thing on further than necessary it can depress the pole of the battery and it may not come back up without damaging the battery.

Also - drag slowly. Press the button in 1-2 seconds early, then start your slow drag, then about 1/2 to 1 second before the end of your drag let up the button, continuing to drag for a 1/2 to 1 second, then inhale.

The early press should make vapor ready and waiting when you start dragging, and letting up a bit early will help get rid of suction if it's caused by heat.

thats not the issue i only finger tightend the tank to the battery barely i know how weak those small brass threads can be. the problem is i cannot get any airflow through the tank when its correctly seated on the battery.

Next time you take the tank off you could check for a "chad" - a little piece of plastic dangling from where the hole was punched. Those can cause problems.

And if you are using juice that is too thick for tanks, it can take along time for it to wick to the coil so vapor can be made and it make not keep up with your vaping causing burnt taste or even atomizer damage. Tanks like the thickness of PG w/ 20-30% VG. Thinner juices work like 100% PG but may be more prone to leaking. Some 50/50 juices may work if thinned by the vendor or user with distilled water.

And some times people need to reposition the wick of tank atomizers. You should be able to find Youtube videos of doing that.
