Do you have an AFSV2 ?
If so and your using a 901 atty I may have a trick / tip when refilling to stop it flooding when refilling , I haven’t tried it yet but before you take the top off to refill take a the rubber bung out of a mouth bit of a 808 carto and BEFORE you take the whole lid off to refill put it in the 901 atty in the AFSV2 and block the small hole with a bit of blu-tak , then take the lid off to refill then replace lid and once sealed remove the rubber bung .
Now I’m hoping that because you equalized the pressure fluid wont flood into the atty when the lid is removed ..:?:

I use a syringe and just pull out the fluid in the Atty right through the mouthpiece after I have it all together, this seems to be less hassle and works every time for me. Just another technique but simple & very quick with no mess then shoot the exes juice back in your bottle.!!!

arry...I originally tried something fairly similar when I first got my AFSv2. I took the top cap out of a 510 cart and shoved a spare cig filter from my handrolling days down into it. It effectively created a plug which I then placed on the 901 atty before opening the tank to refill.

However, I've now found an even simpler method. First, close off the control ring fully. Now just open the tank and refill. Only fill to just a hair under the threads. Replace large top ring, o-ring, small top ring and drip tip/afs tip...in that order. Then open the CR full open...and just gently vape off the excess till it stops gurgling. Only takes a few minutes to vape it off and nothing extra required. Once it's running right you can adjust your CR back to where you'd normally vape.

Another method to try as well. Once you reassemble the unit after filling..open the CR slightly and then just blow into the tip and it will force the juice out of the atty and back into the tank.

The main goal here is that if you completely fill the tank to the threads, when you replace the caps, you effectively force liquid into the atty in order to displace the air as the tank pressurizes. By leaving just a bit of room when refilling, the tank will not displace the air in the atomizer..hence no flooding.

Experiment..and I think you'll see what I mean.

if you dont want to take off the small cap every time you refill then you can just unscrew it a little. That way the atomizer will go through the o-ring between the 2 caps very easy. So you screw the big cap and then you screw the small cap.

That way you dont overfill the atomizr too:)
