why is carto burning

[Sharkbite]

I got a 5 pm carts n some I filled n work great others burn n taste horrible why

 

[haft2doit]

Explain pm cart... Are you talking about a cartomizer or a cart that goes on an atty? They are cartomizers with filler material or without? You need to give specific details of what you are using and doing in order to get good information in turn.

Example:
device you are using
carto type and resistance (if you know it)
juice you are using
how you are filling

Sorry, they are cartomizers I meant to say 5 pack dual core here's the link some work great others burn so bad they smoke

Maybe you did not fill them enough?
On cartos, once in a while try and put more juicce in them even if it does not tastes like burnt.

The ones that taste like burnt already you would be better to throw them away since that taste will never come out.

I just open my package as well, and you are not alone Shark! These things taste similar but WORSE than lighting an analog backwards and taking a huge hit! Someone -- please help. These mega cartomizers are too expensive to just throw away. They are not burnt (I put 3 ml in, waited 2 hours, and then tried it out)

5 of 5 of my smok tech dc were perfect.

Very clean taste.

If they are burning I suspect liquid is not wicking properly.

Thinner juice may help.

emus. what is dry burning and all the other things I've read about new cartos? Am I missing some steps other than fill, wait, vape?? I know with 3 ml of juice I didn't underfill and this is my fav juice, I've never a problem with it in my 808, it's a very smooth nice juice and flavor from Vap4Life I'm new so don't have a reference for 'thick' vs 'thin'

What I bought is the eGo mega dual coil and am using the blank cartos that came with it (have Echo's on order)

 

[Sharkbite]

I didn't know I had to wait once I filled the cartomizers. I just started vaping. How long do I need to wait?

 

[mrspenn]

The larger the carto, the longer wait time. Pick a day (Sunday?) Fill what you think you will need for the week and life is much more simple. For the large cartos, wait at least overnight. I was in a hurry to smoke my new eGO but not sure yet if the lack of proper wait time is the problem. The tip stinks just smelling it without vaping for over 2 hours now.

You don't have to wait overnight. If you fill your carto properly, and hour or so should be enough.

Maybe this will help.

Keep your cartos well saturated, do not chainvape, allow some time between draws, make sure the voltage of your battery matches the resistance of your carto. Good luck.

 

[mrspenn]

This is a brand new kit from MadVape. It's an eGo mega dual coil. I've no idea what the watts, voltage, etc. are. I assume when the battery and carto are sold together as a kit they are properly sized to be used together?

I put 3 ml of juice in and watched it pool and soak in. I cleaned up what didn't soak in w/QTip. It's new so hasn't been refilled at all. It smells and tastes

Any other ideas? Anyone? I was so looking forward to this new e-Cig

if I have a Riva 510 and a EGO 650mAh USB Pass Through Battery Device what cartomizers should I use?

 

[Katya]

I always recommend Boge 2.0Ω and/or 2.5Ω for the eGos (they are 3.2-3.4v).

If your Rivas are new true 3.7v, you may try 2.5Ω Boge cartos, or even the standard 3.0Ω.

My favorite place to find the 2.5Ω (multipurpose carto) is IkenVape. His Premium Platinum 510 cartomizers are very good and will work fine on your eGo PT and on your Riva.

Good luck!

Regular resistance of 2.8ohm or higher. Some low resistance carto's will fry your juice.

Contact CCV about your carto problem. He offers a warranty on them. Drop him a PM.

IMO, I got some bad cartos with the kit. First one is the burnt one we been talking about. 2nd one was completely dead, zero, nada vapor. Third ones the charm. Hope this is not a persistant problem. Expensive to never even get to use!

Sharkbite, how are you doing?

Sharkbite, how are you doing?

How much VG is in your liquid?

 

[mrspenn]

The juice I put in was a WOW flavor, doesn't seem thick to me but I'm too new to be able to make a good comparison (what's thin, what's thick). But, the third carto I tried works great with same juice. My 2nd carto try out of same package was DOA

Could be quality control issue.
5 of 5 smok teck cartos are good.
3 of 5 CE2s worked correctly.

Some juices gunks up coil/wick quick.
