Aerotank Mega - Flooding

[olscratchy]

I have 2 Aerotank mega's & I seem to be getting flooded, I am not having this issue as much with my mini pro tank 3,I don't think i'm pulling to hard, I have been using 2.0 ohm New Style coils, and have an iStick by eleaf vw battery, anyone have the same problem? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks from a newbie vapor

I would suspect either the coil is not seated or the tank isn't. Other than a leak in the vacuum I don't see how it could flood. Maybe turn up the heat.

I have my air closed off pretty good and draw hard and never had an issue.

Some eliquids have too much added sweeteners and a lot of flavoring added. They can gunk up the small coils and wicks in these small Kanger tanks after vaping a small amount of eliquid. You can see your eliquid changing colors from the carmelized or burnt process. This can lead to closed up or tighter airflow and cause flooding onto the battery or out of the airflow controller.

If possible, try a lighter juice. A better option would be to learn how to make your own eliquid. I don't mean to suggest something that may seem difficult to you if you are new to DIY. I think some people would be amazed at how long wicks and coils last when using unflavored or eliquid without so much flavoring added.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

First, to fix a flooded atomizer take your tank off the battery and blow through the mouthpiece (with a paper towel under it). This will drain the extra eliquid.

When you inhale, take a long smooth draw vs a short sharp draw. This will prevent extra eliquid from being pulled into your coils and flooding it. Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

Whenever you first sense that your atomizer is beginning to flood try this:
1. Open up the airflow so when you take a hit you are not pulling in as much juice into your coils.
2. Raise your voltage or wattage. This will vaporize more eliquid.
3. Tip your battery up (and take a few hits). By tipping it up you will prevent more eliquid from being fed into the coils.

Give one or all of these a try.

I have noticed that the juice had gotten darker, and it doesnt seem to happen when I have a new coil in, thanks I will keep an eye on it .
