First of all, I am (or have been) Reo/Chalice guy for a very long time. Gem is the only atty to top that and have been using Gem/WAEII combo exclusively ever since it arrived. So, thanks to MB team for yet another blockbuster. Looking forward to WAEIII
Anyway, reason for this note is to share a trick I found using Gem. I tend to use very little cotton and this can cause flooding issues when filling. (typical of RTA) Right after filling and turn the airflow back on, you can have some leaks through the air hole. Traditionally, you would blow it out but this might /might not work immediately since you are adding more pressure back into the tank and additional leak might continue.
I have used following method to address this and seems to be working nicely.
- Do the usual filling with AFC ring at off position and put the DT back on after filling.
- Before turning AFC back on, turn the mod upside down. Make sure the juice level stays below the atty juice holes.
- With a napkin under it, turn the AFC back on while the mod is still upside down.
- You will hear a subtle pop noise and juice puddle will empty out through DT. Takes about 5 seconds to empty out.
- Once the juice stops flowing out of DT (or very little), give it a few pulse. This eliminates any spit back due to over saturation of cotton.
- After that, you can turn the mod back up and enjoy leak/gurgling free vape!
Whole process takes about 10 seconds and a napkin.
Let me know if someone has a different method. Thanks
...do I really want a dna 30?
Now I have to re-evaluate (again).
