That Nasty Taste

[cheryli]

I am using a freshly filed (last night) carto and I am getting that nasty taste like its empty! It's only the second time I have filled it with the same juice. What's up?

Look and see if it looks like a slushy inside. It sounds like it may need topping off? You can try to give it a flick or two also.

Sometimes that happens. I hate it when it does. Try giving it a spin with the threads down. Take a larger plastic baggie, put the carto in with a bottom rubber plug in (it came with the carto) on the thread side (which is where it was before you removed the plastic wrapper), put that end down into a corner of the baggie, and swing the baggie around rather quickly for a bit. That'll bring the liquid to the bottom. Then, pop the white bit off at the mouthpiece (you may need to use a paper clip in the hole, or a fingernail on the side to pry it up), and see if you can drop a bit more liquid on top to make it look like a slushy or slurpy. Don't overfill. Or try not to. Leave it sit for a while, if you can. Then attach it to the battery and see if it works any better.

Sometimes, even that won't work and you just have to try a new carto. I know it sucks, but hopefully it doesn't happen very often. And it shouldn't.

Also, see if you can get a paper clip that you've unbended down threw the hole a bit. It may just be clogged up. Wipe with a napkin or paper towel.

Good luck and vape on! Let us know what other questions you have.

ps... this is assuming you have a carto with silver threads and has a hole down the middle when you pop off the white mouthpiece.

Its a Bose. Gold threads. I'm a little nervous about playing with the insides with a paper clip...I've only been doing this a week! Love it! I'll try swinging it around a it and topping it off.

Thanks,

I have been using the condom method on new cartos and that seems to eliminate the problem. Just do it the first time you use a new one. There are videos on the method in the newbie forum. Good Luck
