Hi there guys. So this is my second day of vaping.

Day 1

510 Titan with pre filled cartomiser

Riva 510 with empty cartomiser - filled via the condom method with spirmint 0 nic. put in 3/4 of the cup/cap and pressed down. Did that only once.

Smoked - 10 cigs worth, 5 and 5 (one then the other)

Day 2

Added nothing. Both seem to be producing less vapor today. Specially the riva 510. So I thought, maybe it needs more juice. so did the same thing (filled up 3/4 and did the condom method) but still does not seem to be as good as yestuday.

as for the 510 with pre filled. not sure what to do, I dont have the same e liquid that was pre filled so should i refil with something similar.

You can get reduced vapor from too little juice and too much juice. Too little is dry, which taste kinda' metallic to me and is hard on cartos. Too much is flooded and your carto will get warm and the flavor may be OK, but there is next to no vapor.

Keep trying on the carto you refilled, it should come back. (I always had to refill just a bit less than the first fill for cartos.)

I'd refill the prefilled one you have now.

OK
I will give this a shot since no replies as of yet.

One thing with carto's they decline in production after a day or two, IMO. They still work - just not as well. This "could" be the problem, not sure. This is one of the reasons many people prefer the atty/cart combo.

But you should still get vapor. It is just a different vape.

What kind of carto's do you have? From my experience different types are far different.



Edit: Hoosier and I responded at the same time...

OK
I looked and those are Joye. I don't think I have ever used Joye carto's only atty's so can't really give an opinion on them. I like Boge soft cap and get them from LiteCig. They only have $2 shipping so good for small supply orders.

Point being is this. I have a box of used carto's that work - but just ordered 5 more boxes. Why? I like the hit far better with new ones.

Edit: I mean the carto's from LF are Joye. TW haven't looked.

With my used carto's I still get vapor so not sure what is causing your problem. The hit is just different. They get to be a tighter draw or something. I just don't like them much after a bit and want new ones.
