what is flooding?

[Skylare]

what is it?? is it when you hear the crackle noise from your e cig or is it the actual liquid is leaking out? was going to get some apsire bvc coils and read on a forum here that it "floods"

This occurs when too much e-liquid has flooded an RDA or tank and results in poor vapor and can cause “gurgling”. This isn't the popping sound you may possibly hear.

If you are speaking of the Nautilus and its BVCs, I thought the combination was "moody". To me it seemed the air vacuum would change and excess juice would get to the coil (flooding) or not enough juice got to the coil, which is to little air.

Then I read on here about not tightening down the glass so much on the rubber seal and the same for the cap on the tank. That did help. I have moved on, but the Nautilus worked well and had good flavor.

I still recommend it because of simpleness and quality flavor. It just takes a bit to get used to its personality. It has a little more than others, that's all.

hi thanks so much for your reply!! actually i am moving to aspire from kanger and really wanted to like these but i won't be with the Nautilus just some cheap tank to start (Aspire Vivi Nova-S glass) so would you really recommend the bvc coils??

 

[Frenchfry1942]

They were top end about a year ago and were simple. There are a lot of new tanks (RTA/clearomizers) out that are better, but take a little more understanding. But, there are many Youtube videos and discussions here.

The Kangertech Subtank Mini has factory coils that make it simple. Look into it on YouTube. Others will suggest others, too. All have preferences.

Good luck.

Have you looked at the eLeaf GS Air M or GS Air MS tanks? Very similar to the Nautilus but costs less.

I'm not familiar with the vivi nova but on the aspire et-s I have the bvc heads work great. They do gurgle here and there, but nothing major.

I have three aspire nautilus tanks. The small 2.5 ml ones never flood. I can vape them down to the last drop. The larger 5ml one will sometimes flood when the amount pf liquid drops below 50%. The vacuum changes which causes the flooding. I use the BDC coils, not the BVC as I vape 100% VG, which doesn't wick very well on the BVC coils.
