XL Cartos with "standard" length IBTanked tanks?

[StereoDreamer]

I just got a "standard" 19mm IB tank. (I alredy have 2 XL 19mm IB's nd love them). But all I have are XL cartos. I put one in the short tank, filled the tank and primed the carto. I got a few good pulls of the tank, then it started to taste like it was going dry.

I did a few un-powered draws, but to no avail. If I prime it again, I get one or two good hits, then it starts to taste dry again.

These are the XL 2ohm single-coil, two-hole (laser punched) SMOK cartos from IBTanked's website. They work fine in my XL tanks, but this one just doesn't seem to be working in the short tank. It's been sitting for about 4 hours, and no progress.

So, am I missing something? Did I forget something? Is there something about the physics of an XL carto and a "standard" tank that are not compatible?

Help...

I'm interested in what others will say. Because, I can see no reason why it wouldn't work fine. Everything else being equal of course.

I use XL cartos in all my standard tanks and they work just fine.I'm guessing you arent filling them completely or are losing vacuum.

IBTanks use thinner caps than a Phiniac and Ive noticed that sometimes they look sealed when they arent seated all the way.

It's more than likely just a bad carto. (It happens...with nearly all brands of cartomizer)

This guess is assuming that you did everything the same with the carto in question (pre-filled the carto, same juice, same method of assembling the tank, etc). An XL length carto should "work" or vape just fine in a standard size tank, the end of the carto will just stick out the top of the tank farther. Not true the other way around; a standard size carto is not long enough to function in an XL tank.

The juice hole(s) on the carto are inside the tank and not blocked, right? The tank's bottom endcap should be positioned against the flange of the Smoktech carto.
