Has anyone found their tank itself (not that carto) to have dropped in performance over time? Mine is starting to feel less than air-tight, and whist it's not leaking it feels like there's way too much airflow. If I remove the tank and just vape on the carto itself, it only vapes really well if I cover the airholes.

Anyone have a similar experience? Do I just need a new one?

The cartos i'm using are brand new, and i've tried the usual things like cleaning the connections or pulling down the centre pin. It's definitely an airflow issue.

Hiya Swi1ch, how long have you had the DCT? I ask because there have been a few modifications to the cartos since they were originally released, larger holes and then two holes rather than the original single hole, I'm wondering if that is what's causing the difference your noting?

I've had it since about the time it was released, when the cartos still had a single intake hole.

I'm no longer entirely convinced it's my DCT malfunctioning. I usually use it on my Torpedo, and i'm getting no throat hit from it even on 4v, but if I use it on a regular Tornado battery it works fine.

It might be worth trying some new seals if you make an order next time:

We may consider stocking them if there is a demand, however the internal cartomizer to tank seal is the one subjected to the most wear.
