Is the cartomiser gurgling when you draw on it, if it is you definitely need to blow it to clear it. You might also need to dab the top part with a tissue if its flooded before attaching the drip tip.

Can you hear a hissing noise when you press the button to inhale?
If you hear it hissing when you hold it close to your ear with the button pressed in on the battery you know its working. They do tend to start off a bit slow and improve as you use them also. The ryeC9 juice should be grand in it because I've used that same one from e-smokeireland in carto/tanks and it is perfect.
Yeah it hisses but I can also hear a loud enough spark noise every couple of seconds. When I take a draw it Burns the throat off me and there's very little vapour on the exhale. I've used a tank and atomizer from my 510 and That vapes lovely. I've also tried another Carto from the kit just to see if the one I was using was faulty but that's the same also??

It sounds like a very low resistance carto.

I had a batch of dual coil carto's that were the same. Just make sure they are totally wet at all times, and ya should be good. If your not comfortable using them, have you considered the single coil Boge 510's?

The vapour wont be as warm off them, and the flavour might be slightly less than on a DCC.

How much liquid have you dripped into the cartomiser or are you using a tank with it? That sounds to me like the cartomiser is too dry and doesn't have enough liquid in it. Have a look at this video it may help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjh2hsZcjco

I put enough liquid that the sponge inside to carto is soaked and liquid starts dripping out the end. I've even tried the method on your YouTube video. No luck. feck all vapour and it Burns the throat off me. Very disappointing :-(

Best flavour by far I love the fresh minty kick from it.

Is it possibly flooded, is it very gurgly when you try to draw on it, or is the draw very tight?

No not flooded. I blew through he end of the carto to make aure the airway was free. No gargling noises, just a hissing noise as I should expect but when I take a draw it lifts the throat out of me

Did you try another cartomiser yet and how much e-liquid do you estimate you put into it?

Just read back the thread there and you tried the second one al-right. I would say maybe get onto the vendor and let them know and they might send you on replacement cartomisers as you might have been unlucky and gotten dodgy ones. Definitely something wrong.

I got a private message off Paul from e-smokeireland. Top bloke to deal with. He's offered me a biansi tank and atomizer to try out. He reckons the dual coil might be too strong on the throat for me. Fair play

hrm, the dual coils are kinda the harshest of the cartomisers alright cos they're well.. dual coiled and so low resistance.

hopefully you get on better with the imist anyway.

I've also come across somebody in the past couple of days who also found the DCC's too harsh for them, even with the most neutral of eLiquids.

Different strokes!

it's hard to tell really what's best for each person
friend of mine was a 20+ carrols a day man but found 18mg way too strong so moved down to 12mg after a couple of days

Jaysus, that's nice of Paul in fairness!

Top man to deal with just by ordering juice from, follow up email to ask me if flavors were nice and so on, highly recommended! :-)
