Sivlar Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The problem I have is about 2-3 G4's out of every box do not seem to work with my 5v USB Passthroughs (I have 3, home, work and the car), they just don't fire up at all. If I hook them up to one of my standard battery sticks it seems to work fine though. I also have no issues using the normal and LR Boge or Joye 510 cartomizers with the passthrough. Only these G4's seem to be problematic. I really like these things a lot, the tank with no filler material is what I really love about them. I usually get about 3-4 refills out of them with the darker juices before they start gunking up and taste nasty. They are cheap and disposable. I stopped using atomizers ages ago, too much mess, too much work and they never seem good as new after cleaning them. Not to mention you go through a clensing ritual every time you switch flavors. Just way too much hassel. Cartos saved me from switching back to analogs. Any thoughts as to what the problem may be? Any other cartos out there that are similar if I can't get this issue resolved? Another issue, related to the USB passthroughs is they only seem to work for 3-4 months then I need to replace them. It's almost like they get a loose wire or something inside. They start cutting off and then come back on if I wiggle the wire going into the front of them where the LED is. Anyone else have similar issues? -Siv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 May be the center pin on the passthroughs need adjusting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivlar Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 How is that done? That center connector/pin seems glued and hardwired in there. Have the same issue on all 3 passthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think I also saw a post about some bad passthroughs on this forum. I am sure one of the staff will answer soon, please hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivlar Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Interesting, looks like I'm not the only one with passthrough issues with them. I guess something in there is not big enough to make the connection. Hope they resolve it, I really like these things. Never had any leaking, cracking or flavor issues. They are disposible for sure though, never going to get more than a few refills out before the vapor and flavor drops off. Not too worried though, they cost a bit less than the normal cartos.

mcquinn Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Maybe a 510 to 510 adaptor or an Ego tank adapter would help.The quality control on this stuff is pretty low I would guess some just screw on farther than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
