- Make sure the batteries are charging them properly by putting them in a separate charger.
- If using an RDA/RTA, check and see if the coil is touching the cap or deck.
- See if there are any breaks in the coil.
- Ensure that the coil is fully screwed into the tank.
What happens if you replace a cartridge in a vaporizer?
If you purchase replacement cartridges which are not from the same manufacturer or from a recommended manufacturer, you will continue to have issues with firing your vaporizer. You need to make sure that the cartridges you're using will allow you to get the optimal level of flavor and that they are designed for use with the atomizer that you have on your device. If you're using a cartridge that isn't designed for use with your device you could run the risk that you could burn out your atomizer or that the cartridge will never quite fast and well.
Can a vape cartridge be exposed to hot weather?
Vape cartridges and vaporizers themselves are not really designed to be exposed to high temperatures or inclement weather over a long period of time. If you are device is exposed to a particularly high temperature or you're out on a very hot and sunny day, this can often affect the cartridge.
How to care for a cartridge?
One of the best ways that you can appropriately care for your cartridge is to keep it sheltered or even in a carrying case when you are planning on going out on a hot day. Cartridges can also be affected when the weather is cold.
What happens if your e-juice cartridge is leaking?
If you notice that the e juice inside seems to be discolored or the fill level inside your cartridge seems to be low there could be a whole or a leak in your cartridge. Some vaporizer manufacturers will not allow their devices to fire on if there is a low amount of juice in the cartridge. If this safety mechanism is in place you may never be able to fire on a cartridge that has been leaking or that has been faulty due to storage.
Do battery and cartridge need to be connected?
The battery and cartridge need to be connected to one another. This means screening cartridge into the battery slot and making sure that there isn't any just or blockage that could prevent the device from fully impacting the cartridge. As mentioned before, you can follow the threads in the manufacturer's specifications as you plug in the device and make sure that the device fully charges.
What is the output voltage of a phono cartridge?
The nominally quoted, very small output voltage from a phono cartridge, ranges between 0.2mV and 5mV. Phono cartridges are designed to be connected to a pre-amplifier that presents it with a particular impedance load. This impedance is made up of two parts: resistance and capacitance (any inductance can be ignored). These two parameters are selected by the manufacturer in order to optimize the cartridges frequency response and voltage output. So it is important that your pre-amp can be adjusted to provide the correct loading in order to get the best possible response from the phono cartridge. For most moving magnet phono cartridges and high output moving coil cartridges a load of 47Kohms and 50 picofarads is generally considered acceptable. Typical pre-amplifier gains required to correctly drive the main amplifier are between 45dB and 55dB. However, low output moving coil cartridges have very wide resistive loading ranges and higher amplification requirements, but are less impacted by incorrect capacitive loads:
What is a VTA stylus?
Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) and Stylus Rake Angle (SRA) are two terms used to describe the angle of the stylus relative to the vinyls surface. They are not the same thing as can be seen from the drawing, but the terms are often and incorrectly used interchangeably by many audiophiles. The angle is usually set by adjusting the height of the arm at its pivot or by inserting shims between the cartridge and headshell.
What is radial tonearm geometry?
Radial tonearm geometry creates a centripetal force that pulls the cartridge toward the center of the record. Anti skate bias counteracts this force, seeking to equalize pressure of the stylus on both sides of the groove. Setting the anti-skate force is still a hot topic for debate.
The Goal of Cartridge Alignment
In a perfect world, we’d like your phono cartridge’s stylus to track the record perfectly, with no distortion or mistracking, so the stylus tip always stays perfectly in the middle of the record groove.
Check Your Cartridge and Check Again
We need to adjust a few things that are all interdependent, so plan on taking repeat steps, in gradually smaller increments.
What Are the Best Tools for Cartridge Alignment?
As we mentioned earlier, you need a few basic tools, and you need to go no further than your cartridge or turntable dealer. The cost of your turntable, and how often you plan on setting your cartridge up will probably determine how much you invest in alignment tools.
Fine-tuning Your Cartridge
You’ll notice the two screws at the top of the headshell where the cartridge mounts to the tonearm. Next, we need to set the stylus overhang. This is getting the distance from the center of the tonearm pivot to the tip of the stylus to the manufacturer’s specified length.
How Seriously Should You Take Alignment?
Getting really OCD about this will require a test record and some tools, should you be so inclined. Some test records and a sharp pair of ears will help you get this very close. Most Pro-Ject tables use a weight on a monofilament line that has multiple settings.
Storing Vape Cartridges: Temperature
The first consideration when storing a vape cartridge is the temperature. Cannabis vape cartridges may be fairly resilient depending on the quality of their packaging, but storing them in places that are too hot or too cold may have unwanted consequences when you attempt to use your product.
Storing Vape Cartridges: Light
Like most cannabis products, the cannabinoids within vape cartridges are sensitive to light. When storing your vape cartridges, always take care that their exposure to the sun and other sources of harmful UV rays has been minimized to the best of your ability.
Tips and Tricks for Storing Vape Cartridges
When storing a cannabis vape, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the position of the cartridge. Vape cartridges should be kept in a vertical position rather than lying on their side or being placed without care. For this reason, the use of a drawer rather than a stash box may be ideal.
Identifying The Issue Through Process of Elimination
First we must identify the issue, which is Delta 8 or other concentrate clogging. Chances are, you've made your way to this article because your vape pen cartridge or disposable vape pen is clogging. To eliminate any other potential issues, make sure that the cartridge still has air flow.
Why Your Vape Pen Cartridge Keeps Clogging
Delta 8 THC and most cannabinoid extracts have a thicker consistency. The concentrate is a lot like candle wax. When it is heated, it flows better, wicks better, and can easily be vaporized. However, when heat isn't being applied to it, it forms into a solid, sticky state that makes it difficult to use.
Cartridge Alignment – An Introduction
Phono Cartridge Alignment Introduction
- This post isn’t intended as a detailed set-up guide. Rather an introduction to the terms and issues associated with cartridge alignment. Hopefully providing my readers with the insight as to what has to be adjusted, why, how and with what. The following cartridge and arm parameters need to be adjusted in order for your cartridge to optimally trace the groove information, minimize vinyl …
Comments
- All the above adjustments are interdependent. So once you have set them, you WILL need to go back and recheck them all. This iterative process can be quite time consuming and laborious. I can testify to that. BUT, it will all be worthwhile when you listen to the final results.
Alignment Equipment Overview
- While it is possible to reasonably align a cartridge by eye and ear on a modest stereo system using a few simple tools, that will not be sufficient for audiophile systems. Especially if they have Shibata or more exotic stylus profiles. Ideally you will need the following tools for a full and accurate alignment: 1. A test record. Recommendation – Th...
Stylus Profiles
- In the ongoing attempt to extract all the information from the groove deviations and cause the least amount of vinyl damage, numerous stylus profiles have been developed. These include: 1. Conical – the original, and still used today. 2. Elliptical – most common and cost effective. 3. Line Contact -Shibata. 4. Exotic Remember that the more hi-tech the stylus profile the less tolerant it i…
