Do carts just die suddenly?

[Pam O]

Hi all. This morning I filled two carts that I had used yesterday for a bit and neither of them are working all that wasted juice is this normal? If so I will stick to the clearomisers and hope they both last till I get back to the UK!

Yeah they can, this is the reason I stopped using cartos.

[lobeydosser]

Have you used other cartos on that battery since?
If not, do try something else as it may be that the battery post has got pushed in a little too far to make proper contact with these two cartos.

Never usually suddenly unless you pop them, funny that you say 2, hate to ask but is your battery charged and switched on?

[Pam O]

I'm using a clearo on it at the mo and it is working ok.

[Skwoddy]

Maybe you just got really unlucky, I've never had 2 fail at once. Are you using variable voltage and LR cartos?

lol yup all charged and turned on will try them again later just to make sure before I fling them. That's 3 dead ones this week, been using them by the pool because the clearos don't like the heat and leak a bit.

Sorry yes, I should have said that they can die, but only when you are using them, unless you've broken the coil by pushing something down the carto.

Maybe it's your carto's not liking the constant heat, I can understand the clears leaking with expansion from heat, maybe keep them under a towel, enjoy your holiday, jammy sod.

Pam, I couldn't get along with cartos at all and soon gave up on them as I found clearos easier to use. I've just started using the Vivi and Mini Novas and much prefer those to any of the other visions I've tried.

Stoopid question alert would they fit on my Rivas? I need to do an order from here at the end of this week so that I have juice and more kit before I go back to work so if they do fit I may give one a try.
