AGA-T wicking too well?

[eHuman]

I know that your wick can't "over perform", but has anyone else experienced where so much juice remains on the wick no matter how much you chain vape that you get an occasional drop pop off of the coil and fly right up the drip tip and into your mouth? Sounds like a pot of water boiling in there.

Or is it just me...

havent seen this much but usually a few .01v higher help to keep the wick dryer.

Is the top of your wick open? Volcanic action may be pulling liquid up too fast and blasting you. Perhaps pinch the tip so you don't have a cannon aimed at your throat?

Solid wick rolled with 1.5" x 3" 500 mesh.

I'm hitting it at 10w as that is the center line between flavor/TH/juice economy.

Can you see the problem firing it with the top off? When I fire mine with the top off, all of the spits go perpendicular to the wick, (sideways, if the wick is vertical). If you fire yours top off, can you see where the vertical spits are coming from? I have no idea what your problem is, just trying to help troubleshoot .

Mine pops & sizzles and shoots fireworks off without the cap. But I've been lucky enough to avoid catching any.

i have heard it could be from the type of juice, being that some juices may contain more water than others, but not really sure.

I have a 3/4" juice burn scar on my middle finger from doing something stupid. I just wanted to see how well it wicked horizontally and a glob of juice dripped out and landed on the back side of my finger, hurt like hell. I burned myself on the Terminator's ceramic too but that didn't leave a mark.

Hi! I think your problem may be air incoming inside the tank. Just a little bit of air (no enough for liking) can do what you say. I had a similar problem but with the mini dud.

1.5" x 3" 500 mesh rolled solid, fills wick hole, tank fill screw in place. Any air going into the tank is going through the wick. I can lay my PV on it's side for a couple hours with no leaking.

Mine spits too, just never get any up the DT - #400 mesh about 1"x1.5" and 0.5"x1.5", coaxial style (thin wick inside main wick), 70/30 pg/vg juice. 28 awg kanthal 5/6 wrap showing 1.1 ohms under load, 0.9 ohms dry - burning at 3.5 volts on provari v2. I am getting less spiting after 3 days of moderate use...

That's usually caused by the wick diameter not filling up the wick hole and juice is simply oozing out into the tip and into your mouth. Either make a fatter wick, or simply don't tilt as much. If you find that you can't get a good vape unless you have to tilt it to the point that juice always dribbles into your mouth, definitely fatten up the wick.

Because the fill hole is on top when you're tilting wick down to keep it wet, juice usually won't dribble out the fill hole during vaping, just when you leave it sit on it's side. And the guy was right, the fill screw is best left off.
