But while one would think that draining would only be necessary occasionally when the atomiser gets flooded by overfilling cart or over dripping, in fact fluid build up where it cannot be used (i dont mean the reservoir) is happening all the time.

Igetcha - seems you are not 'getting' what i'm saying.

get off your high horse mate!

i fully "get" what you are saying......but "in my opinion" you are wrong.

as you seem to know the ins and outs of a atomiser perhaps you could explain what lies beyond the reservoir? i would hazard a guess that it leads on to the wires and connectors that allow the unit to be screwed into the battery connector.

any liquid there that you blow back is simply being forced back into the reservoir where it should be, which then allows you to carry on vaping...........hardly rocket science!

its just a classic case of over filling

and just to add:-

the guy asked if fluid is needed in the reservoir to keep the atomiser working correctly..........the answer is yes!

do you not understand that? shall i draw you a diagram?

"Igetcha - while its true there is a cup/reservoir immediately behind the coil. I mean it goes further behind. That's why the draining does something. A short blow till first hear the gurgle will allow that liquid to be vaped. yeah, your forcing traces of liquid back on the heating coil And this can be pepeated many times. No need to blow it out except when doing weekly maintenance.errr, thats what i said!"

"any liquid there that you blow back is simply being forced back into the reservoir where it should be, which then allows you to carry on vaping..."

Finally, you get it.

So, to start again, it should not be easy for juice to go beyond the reservoir and out ogf the inner atomiser to the tube if one is careful with liquid thickness and not over filling / dripping. But it does, lots, in normal use.

i got it in the 1st place..........just dont think its a big deal really in the way that you described it!

its just traces of juice being blown on to the heating coil........hardly a design fault.

any liquid that goes past the reservoir is due to over filling in my opinion.

kinabaloo · 03-20-2009, 04:07 PM

More than traces - a really surprising amount.

While not a serious issue as such, it could be better. And if the storing position helps as much as i think it does, that is useful info. I mean, even a Porsche, say, still has some things that could be improved, one of which could be described as being the worst problem, even if not a big deal.

igetcha · 03-20-2009, 04:30 PM

agreed, things can always been improved.......and hopefully over time all e-cigs will be far more reliable and hassle free.

not sure if it would ever be possible, but i think a ceramic heating coil would easily out last a metal one.

its just a one off... two or three drops off liquid remains in the bottom..

blowing it back is a wast off time.. it only gets in there once.. unless you blow it back then it has to fill up again.. or unless u do the leave overnight draining trick.. this is also a waste of time and liquid..

if the atomizer gets flooded.. blow some out.. if not just forget about it.. the factory puts it there with the initial factory prime it should then stay there..

it also helps when the e cig is laid on its side.. its why the e cig work betters when its left for a while between puffs.. some of this spare liquid moves back to where it can feed the heater coil from.. its not entirely wasted..

i am sure i put a post in here.. ether i am losing the plot and forgot to hit the sumbit button or its been removed... he he
