BirdDog Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't have this tank. How do the holes look in the cartomizer you are using? Did you buy the pre-punched cartos to use with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass-n-vape Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 yea he sent me some with it and i checked the holes to make sure they went all the way through and they do. but when i first filled it up and tried it a couple times i just got a dry burn could i have maybe messed up the carto?

Sure, I don't just pop a dry one in my home made tank. The hole/slit size is a bit tricky with the DCs. They have to be small enough so that he liquid doesn't just leak through and out the center tube. As soon as you get it filled and together top it off with a little liquid to get the ball rolling and let it sit a few minutes. In the video he makes it seem so plug & play. It's not. If you are getting dry hits the slits/holes may be a tad too small, but it's easy to get them too big and end up with a mess. Remember these aren't precision openings. FWIW the Boge cartos are much easier to work with and slit/hole size is much more forgiving. I also don't buy into the assertion that these last for weeks, unless you are a very light vaper. After about 25ml of liquid the taste is dulled and the draw will stiffen up considerably. Try another to make sure you just don't have a dud.

DAYVAPE Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 After I punch a single hole in a Boge... I then fill the carto as I normally would (using condom on threaded end... filling w/ syringe till it's just full, doesn't need to be saturated completely) and then prepare to assemble/fill the rest of the tank. To fill the tank, I slide the carto in (threaded end first) nearly all the way... but leaving a small slit/space for my needle so I can fill tank until 95% full. Once I'm there I slide carto the rest of through and make my final adjustments so that everything is where it needs to be! After vaping most of the juice that was in the carto from the very start, and the flavor starts to fade and I get the drier type hits, then I know it's not working properly. Typically, I will position the hole just barely above the bottom cap, and take another drag w/o firing device. If I don't eventually see some tiny little bubbles then I know it's not pulling in juice like it should be... and more adjustments must be made. After all, juice doesn't simply just soak in through the hole/slit... it must be drawn in while you are vaping on it. This all took me a fair amount of time to figure out when I first got mine... but just keep playing with different positioning of your holes or slots until you find what works. It can be a finicky little setup and everything has to be just right and working properly or it simply won't work. When it's working though... it's working great! Same can be said for when it's not working... when it's not, it's really not... and can quickly frustrate you until you are ready to throw it against a wall! In the end I would have to say this: I' m liking the tighter fitting J-Tank over the Liquinator, and now await the larger 5.5ml tank so I don't have to fill it as often! That's what sucks for me... refilling, because once you refill it, you then must find that 'sweet spot' again before it's truly happy and working!
