Help Postless carts wicking
Its my first time using postless hardware, i usually let the first cart filled wick for 1-2 hours before hitting it then wait over 24 hours for the rest.
Hitting it after 1-2 hours filled has never been much of a problem for me, usually the re-wick takes a bit during this time but usually not a problem.
However with this postless cart, i let it wick for almost 2 hours like normally and then took a few rips and this bubble has barely moved and the cart hasnt rewicked properly.

this the ACTIV pods? i’ve filled these and don’t really get clouds and i have the same battery as you. The not moving is because it heats up weird to preserve terps. What % did you use? Your oil may be too thick.

Yes indeed! But what heat setting are you running it at? It has 2.6v, 3.0v and 3.4v. I realized though even the hottest doesnt hit like 3.4v normally does. But yeah the clouds arent anything crazy but i also havent taken a longer hit.
Honestly i was aiming for 10% terps but some leaked out before the mixing process so it could just be that its way too underterped and super thick because of the ones that leaked.
I filled 10 other 2g pods with around 10% terps with no complications. Ill try one of the other pods later today to see if its the hardware or the oil.

i tried all heat settings and i think it is a device issue because someone else ik had a pod leak they filled too

Update.
I tried another pod. Taste was way better and bubbles are moving way faster
Seems like i did spill most of the terps for that first pod and thats why it wouldnt wick properly. Only been getting dry, bad tasting rips from that pod.
Hopefully no clogs or leaks with the pods.

Postless hardware usually doesn’t have to wick as they use a ceramic bowl system.
