What the heck is going on? Reduced vapor/taste.

Help! I've got a iGo that I've been using for about three months and it's been great. Until yesterday. I'm vaping away and think "This doesn't taste right." I pay closer attention and notice that the vapor temperature and taster have fallen off. I try the carto on another battery and get the same result. All of a sudden all of my cartos on all three batteries are not heating up to where they have been. I checked the voltage and I'm getting 3.8-3.9v and the resistance on the cartos looks right in the 1.8-2 ohm range. I am getting taste and vapor, but just less than I ever have before, and at a suddenly lower temp. The cartos vary in age from ones that I've been using on and off for a while to ones that are only a couple days old anda re all fully topped off. Any clue what's going on here?

I hope you're just having a BVD (Bad Vape Day) but I'd post this question in the 'Ask the Veterans' formum. They're wizards. Hope all is better soon.

Do you think the center pin got pushed down on the battery and it's not making a connection with the carto?

You could try raising the center pin on the battery slightly or raising the center of the carto slightly.

I've had that happen with batteries.

yeah that happens quite a bit, use a thumb tack or something similar and and carefully wiggle the center pin up a bit, you also might want to clean the treads off with a lil rubbing alc, good luck!-))

When this has happened to me before, I would get nothing from the carto.I am still getting vapor, just not as much of it and with a muted flavor. Also, for this suddenly happen across multiple cartos and batteries is what's competely baffling me! I've also tried cleaning the connections on the batts and cartos with no change in the results.

If it's happening regardless of what you use (different batteries, different cartos) it could be you. I've had that happen to me where I haven't been able to taste anything. It usually lasted a day or two. It especially happens to me when I vape the same juice all the time. Try a different juice from the juice you normally vape for a day and see if your taste returns.
