Why is my dripomizer doing this?

[texastumbleweed]

On my search for the perfect vaping set up, i have been dripping once in a while using a dripomizer (cartomizer drip tip all-in-one) that i got from GotVapes. works great. my KBV jooses are awesome in it. however, every so often, it feels like i am getting a very small electric shock when i inhale from the steel drip tip....it's VERY wierd. has anyone else experienced this? i cant figure out what the heck could be causing that? no i am NOT crazy. i am a veteran vaper and a health care professional, of sound mind and body.............

Static electricity from friction of PG/VG fumes, arcing to the steel drip tip? Or your battery shorting to your tip? Swamp gas from Venus? New one for me, just thought i would give you a bump.

Only way to tell for sure if there's any voltage on the tip, is drag out the old multimeter.
If there is a short or leak for your batteries, it will show it.

Agreed I'd definitely check it out with a multimeter. That would freak me out if it happened to me more than once.

TT is it a verticle element carto??? If so look at the wire and it is probably up above the wadding. It is most likely arcing to the metal DT. Take a pencil or tootpick and push it down. Also try to center it. If the element is close to the carto wall that can arc also and be transmitted through the metal DT. Best of luck.

Hey Tex,

Next time you get a chance order some of Issac's Dripping carto's, Ikenvape.com of course, there a step above all the rest and they will shock you all right, shock you how good they are, I've been on them ever since I Beta tested the first batch of them and there TOP NOTCH!
