I have an ancient LLBean tan canvas brief case. In it one can find batteries in silicone cases, an APV, Kind bars, spare change, a couple of discount cards (using made up names and email addresses for my paranoia), office keys or personal keys, Oh, and a couple files, yellow pad and a computer to assure myself that this is not a purse but rather it is a brief case.
:toast:
Files? In case you get tossed in prison?

I wish i could carry a purse. I could throw the usual stuff in there. Wallet, keys, change, e-cig, pocketknife. Add a bottle of juice, battery charger, some wicks n coils. Hell, throw a cordless drill a couple wrenches and a socket set in there too. Those would come in handy. Toss in a couple cans of beenie weenies, a moon pie or two and an RC cola in case I get hungry. These chicks have no idea how good they got it.

I've got a canvas bag that I use from time to time. Mostly on overnight trip away from home. It's great for vaping gear, random things, and even got room for a can of beer or two.

Oh I know how good I got it. I'm not a purse queen (meaning, I don't have 75.6 purses, and change them out, that would be insane, not in terms of looks, but moving stuff, no.) But, my purses are selected with care, and I christen them and welcome them to the family and also, like have a very hard time disposing of the old ones, maybe I need a mass grave or something.

It's so great to be allowed to carry around THAT much stuff. LOL.

My build is 2.5 mm spaced coil, .81 ohms give or take, organic cotton, vaping with 50/50 juice. After wicking/juicing the wick moderately and screwing the tank back down fully (juice control completely closed) I fill the tank, close the top cap, I slowly open the juice control and I'm not seeing any bubbles or very minimal air bubbles for two full turns. At this point the wicks and cups they sit in are fully saturated and flooded but not leaking. Due to the flooding I close the juice control and vape till it starts hitting good, then open juice flow 1.5 to two turns and it vapes like a champ up to 16 watts with no problems whatsoever good vape, good flavor. What could be causing the flooding when I rewick?

I wouldn't want anyone to know this but that old Bean Bag has could tell a tale or two and has held a can or two as the sun went down and my compatriots gathered on a Friday before heading home. Good times and what is best they are still going on because, though half retired, I still manage to occasionally "Strike a blow for Liberty" as Harry S. Truman used to say.

Only need 1.5 turns if everything is done right. Maybe less with 50/50 juice. But if I get my wicking right, 1.5 turns is all need. I'm vaping 70/30 juice.

Are you pre juicing wick before you filling it up? Might be why your not seeing any bubbles. Even at two turns. But yeah 1.5 turns should be enough.

So not leaking, but when you vape it, it's gurgling?

Nope not gurgling at all, floods the cup on the first fill and hits harsh almost like burned cotton from to much juice and as I said I then close down the juice control vape out the excess and it works well enough after that. I was thinking to much wick so I've been combing out the cotton and giving it a hair cut on recent builds. Most of the time 50/50 juice so the bubbles should be poppin but aren't. Should the wick be covering the juice holes (lightly)? I did build it perfect one night with 70pg juice and only needed to open the juice flow 1.5 turns and it was amazing for two days so I know what this tank is capable of.

The way it is I know I'm getting close and the flavor is good and it's working well enough to keep me from smoking. It feels like I have to hit it to hard to make the juice flow up the wick but as I also stated I'm vaping it around 14 to 16 watts so something is working right or I'd be burning cotton, no?

I personally kind of push the wick tails towards the middle, so the holes are not covered. I know most likely the tails are probably very close to the holes , but I do ever so slightly nudge the tails over some. I really cannot see if the holes are truly exposed, but I think they are but very very close to them. I do this to prevent the possibility of juice not coming in properly if the tails are perhaps a bit too dense or too long. Also they definitely need to be touching the bottom, if they are not quite reaching, you will get flooding. Personally I don't think flooding is from to much wick, but to little in channels. Imo flooding is from 3 different possibilities, one insufficient wick tail amounts, coil too short and the wick winds up too close to af, thus juice getting into airhole (this if your getting weepage from bottom) and lastly orings. If you have a bad seal, you can get juice in where it should not be....9 times out of 10, for me, it's the tails being a bit too short or not enough volume.

, do you trim your tails? Or just wick and stuff? Cotton?
.

Yes been trimming the tails for width as per your video, I just rewicked and cut the tails a little shorter, gently tucked the cotton in and felt for resistance or to much cotton at the deck/ledge, worked the cotton away from the juice holes slightly. Bubbles at one turn open, went another half turn and it seems to be rockin, I think maybe I've been trimming the wick to long. I've gone through a ton of cotton the last three weeks since I bought this thing but cotton is cheap and I'm determined.

Could to much cotton have been mucking up the vacuum?
Not really sure...whenever I use too much in ledge, I just get muted flavor . now once I instantly detect that, I stop vaping it and rewick cause I know what I did. Perhaps if I kept vaping on it, kind of sucking harder, maybe it could, kind of like closing the airflow with your finger, which forces air and juice in more then usual

Imo the best vape is the fine line of the tails just barely touching the bottom and not being to overstuffed , but not to thin either and both I kind of move inwards slightly. Now I use rayon in the vid, which kind of needs a trim, but if you use cotton, you might not need to, especially if your coil ID is small

Yes I am pre juicing the wick before filling, so in theory if pre juicing the wick is the reason I see no bubbles and I in turn open the juice control more than needed watching for air bubbles I could be opening the control to much and flooding it inadvertently? That might make sense.

turn it upside down before/during opening.
