bottle clogging on reos mods

[glen327]

i started with a mini and then bought one grand and another and it seems like I have been having problems when squonking. When i squeeze the bottle it is extremely slow to get to the atty. When it finally does it floods me out.

Please any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks, what do you vape on

I agree to get your posts up and come on over to REOvil. I've been vaping on my REO for about a month or so and have not ran into any clogging issues.

Have you read about the blind squonk yet? I am looking for the thread to provide a link...just takes me time. I've notified our REO experts that you are having problems, so I'm sure somebody will soon be here to help.

I still use the joye 510s and riva 510 (ego) that I started with just plain jane, but they make me happy and aren't too complicated for me. I use a clear cart with them and drip sometimes.

Okay...here is the post that helped me get my squonking down. Hope it helps!

"If you are using a 510, squeeze lightly until you just begin to see a glimmer of juice in the holes of the overflow well. When you release, it will disappear. Short unpowered hit to make sure the juice is over the coils, and you are good for 5-8 nice vapes.

For a 306, the "blind squonking" method works best. Squeeze the bottle lightly and suck on the drip tip until you feel a small amount of resistance or hear a light gurgle. Short unpowered hit. If you have a clear drip tip, you should just see a sheen of liquid on the top of the atty. (If it is half-way up the bridge/mesh or more, it's flooded...blow it out). Also now good for 5-8 nice vapes."

Try the squonking method listed above, but sometimes it can be 1) the o-ring in the bottle cap is askew; 2) the tube is hitting the bottom or side wall of the bottle creating suction; 3) your atty is clogged; or, 4) you just need to give the whole thing a good rinse under hot water.

Thanks for the help. I took it all apart and ended up having the o ring not flush with the cap. it was stopping off my feed tube. I am happily vaping once again. I use a cisco 306 that has been a blessing. i still haven't mastered the squonk but time i am sure it will come. one more question: If i wash it under hot water, how long do you all wait to use again? Are attys cleanable? I tried a few methods on here and they still taste like booty when i take a hit. Till next time, I will be sitting here making plumes of vapor

Attys can be rinsed and shaken/blown out then primed with liquid. Simple rinsing helps if done frequently like daily. I used to clean weekly with soaks/flushes with freshly boiled hot water then alcohol but it didn't stop my atomizers from degrading.

no I use 100% vg in my reo it's something else like mlinky said I also noticed if the bottle is cap is screwed on to tight it wont squonk right

 

[Della Cirque]

Good, I'm glad you got it fixed! I have been scared to clean my atties, but finally broke down and did it. I dissolved a Polident denture cleaner tablet in a glass of water, put the atties in and let them soak for about half an hour. Took them out, gave them a shake and blew them out from both sides, let them sit in a sunny windowsill for about 15 minutes and presto happy vaping all over again. My 306's did fine, but it killed my Mom's 510.

Killed her atty or her battery? If battery, get her sealed manual batteries.

Yay!! I hate to say it, because everyone always says to let it sit or blow it out with canned air, but when I wash it out, I use it almost immediately. First I give the surfaces a good dry with a paper towel, and clean out the catch cup/connector and the firing pin with a Qtip dipped in vodka (add a small dab of noalox on the firing pin after cleaning).

Attys can be cleaned. I don't do it unless performance is falling off. My favorite way to do it is with a hand held steamer, but lots of people use an alcohol/vodka/pga soak, or an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (filled with alcohol, hot water, or PG), or denture cleaner, or hot water & dry burn.

If you are using thick juice make sure you are not using the small "restrictor" that comes with the mod. It is a smaller ID piece of tube that goes inside of the main tube. It is used to restrict the flow of very thin 100% pg juices. If that's not it then make sure the bottle is sealed up all the way or it won't squonk right

Killed the atty...her reo & battery are fine. The atty has been in rotation for quite some time, so it might have just been its time.
