Auto feeding

[FEEDER]

Hi folks could you help me with some info please.
at what height will a mini reo start to auto feed?
went from NE England, across country to NWengland bottle around half full, when I came back the other way, bottle nearly empty, & it started auto feeding, & emptied the bottle out, I didn't think I was that high, but I was going up & down, just the way the road is.

Forgot to say, using 70/30 mix juice, & I squonked, & it didn't stop feeding, wasn't a blind squonk, just an ordinary one

From coastal england to the highest point, lake district national park, there is an elevation distance of about 600 meters. You would have to be standing on top of the mountain to achieve this difference in altitude. I used coastal Hartlepool as the starting point. Thats about 110 kilometers as the crow flies to the park. That doesnt seem to me enough to autofeed although i guess it could happen. When a bottle is near empty though that will contribute to autofeeding because there is more air in the bottle to compress to force out the juice.

Hopefully someone can chime in with more helpful information. I just like playing with Google Earth.

You could probably stop that by inserting the reducer tube in the bottom of the feed tube 70/30 is pretty thin so if the bottle was half full or less it probably wouldn't take to much rapid altitude change for it to happen other solution would be to just chain vape in this situation

Thanks for the info

Hi Frank
Auto feeding can also occur because 1) your atty could be in need of a cleaning or 2) the bottle may need to be unscrewed and screwed back on, not too tightly and not too loosely.

Thanks for that info

Hi Frank
I have alot of air tight cases that have a over pressure relief valve for high altitudes.
There may be a tiny one available on maybe amazon

Was the Reo in your lap or pocket? Was the heat on in the car? Both of these factors can contribute to expansion of liquid and air, causing auto-feed, too.

Reo was where it always is, in my hand, never put it down. LOL

My Reos are at 8700 feet, (too lazy to do the meter conversion). use 65/35 juice, PG/VG, no reducer tube and never have auto-feeding. Hove been over 11,000 feet with still no problem.

Could it be that in England you folks drive on the wrong side of the road ??

Now you're just bragging.

It's not that they drive on the wrong side, it's just we drive on the right side.

That's interesting to me that altitude can cause autofeeding. I would never have figured or even really thought about that, living in Miami and all. I'll try driving from the coast to Cutler Ridge, our highest point in Miami Dade, towering over the rest of the county at a whopping 25ish ft. above sea level. I'll keep my tissues handy in case of a nosebleed and/or excessive autofeeding.

Cutler Ridge... that was part of my old district way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. (From Kendall Drive down to the northern key, just south of Homestead.

Good times, good times, getting paid to shoot and hit people PLUS free coffee and meals. It just don't get any better than that.

(The Homestead Air Force Base control tower has the elevation listed as, 7 FEET.)
