What am I doing wrong?

[alldayvape]

Hey,

So I decided to buy the V2 DD Gold 510 cartos for my Infinity, but since the Infinity isn't here yet, I thought I'd try them the cartos out on my ego battery.

I've opened the package, took the drip tip off and put 10 drops or so of 60/40 VG/PG inside the carto.
I try to vape nothing. So as I'm reading up it said they take more drops.. So I put more inside 5 or 6 at a time, and a try to vape.. nothing and nothing.. Put 10 more in.. now it's starting to leak from the bottom. Still no vape. Put 10 more in, and still no vape.. Only thing I can hear is the flooded carto..

Is the Ohm to high on the carto for my ego battery?

What am I doing wrong?! Anyways, I'm a newb been vaping for about 20 days now and totally of analogs... I knew I should've waited for the Infinity to try these.. Oh well, will order more soon..

Edit: Reading up on how to fill a carto it says to use a circular motion and try and avoid getting the liquid into the middle. Also, I read you have to wait a couple of hours? ... I would've posted this in the newbie section, but after 75 posts it is disabled....

Looks like that one was DOA.

tried the second one and everything is fine. I'm vaping like a champ.

Thanks for all the help...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

How can you stand so much VG? I am new to vaping and using cartos right now. I was using a carto that was a tobacco flavor and all PG, and they tasted fine. I went to 80PG and just 20VG mix (albeit from a different vendor), and it is really sweet and perfumy tasting. I don't like it. Hardly any throat hit at all either.

Ohh man. my favorite juices are all VG or at least 50/50. I get great TH with all my VG juices....Might be the particular juice you're using.

Oh, sorry you got a DOA carto. That happens sometimes, but your first one...that's just mean. I'm pretty sure those cartos can hold up to 35 drops easy and you're right, avoid the center air hole and you're good. I love higher vg liquids and I fill my cartos w/ a needle syringe, the sharp kind, not the blunt kind. Saves so much time, just fill it to 1ml and inject it into the filler like 1/2 ml on each side, drip a couple drops on top to make sure it's completely full and vape...no waiting. Hope that helps.

I got this "555" juice that is supposed to be a tobacco flavor. It tastes like sweet cake batter or molasses or something, with a perfume like undertone.

I know,right?!

That's exactly what I did, used 1ml with a syringe, and good to go!! I like this carto much more than the Tank atomizer, even though there is less vapor..
How will I know when I have to refill? And can I refill with a different juice? thanksssssssssss

What vendor? 555 is my next juice to try.. I've been vaping RY4 and like it a lot!

I got it at Vaporrenu. I have heard that RY4 is popular. I don'tseem to see that one at vaporrenu though, and they have really lowpricing so would like to shop there again, just trying to zero in on a good tobacco flavor. They have a lot of choices under the "smoke" flavors, just don't what to try.

You're vaping it on an eGo and I'm assuming it's full so you can probably go a good 2 hours with it...the real indicator is taste and vapor though, so if you notice the taste and vapor fading, give it more drops, the fill much easier dripping in after the first fill, so drip in until the filler stops soaking it down. Now, if you go higher voltage, pay much more attention to the taste and vapor warning signs or you'll burn it and no one wants that. LOL I use the Boge cartos at 5v and absolutely love them.

Best tobacco flavors I've tried are from VaporStation. The Frisco is 555ish and the Tennessee is my all time favorite tobacco flavor, though I've long given up those for bakery flavors. Just my 2 cents.

Good Luck Bro!! Being a newb myself I can totally relate. I've bought soo many juices already, so many different vendors, and it's a cat and mouse game. Some I like most I don't. People swear on the BWB Casablanca or their Virginia, but I don't like them at all (the virginia is actually not bad, but I'm not into the whole real tobacco flavor). The only tobacco flavor I've liked so far are Alien Visions Gamel (VG) and the Ry4 from MadVapes..

The fun stuff about vaping IMO is to try the different vendors and different juices. It does get VERY expensive, and you'll probably and up with more juice then you need. But its a nice hobby and you can always trade the juices you do not like.

Not expensive at all when you mix them yourself.

I'm willing to bet I spent as much money on this for me and my wife as you will in 2 months (Jager don't count, thats a business expense). We have over 60 different flavors atm and climbing. Start mixing flavors together and see how many total combinations? Insane
VaporRenu is $7 for an ounce of flavoring. We mix the tobaco flavors at around 8% because they are increadibly strong. So we can make 12 bottles, 30ml each with one $7 bottle of flavoring. Voidmist has crazy cheap nicotine.
Expensive to try every flavor on the planet? nah
Expensive to pay some guy to mix you up some juice in his garage? yah

Stownz,

Nice setup. Areyou affiliated with VaporRenu?

Anyway, if I were to give you a list of ingredients and the percentages of each ingredient to add, could you make the juice?
