Can juice be Tooo Thin ??

[Slots]

I'm using a Vamo with an ibtanked tank with a pre-punched Smoketech 2 hole carto.
It was working great last night and this morning, now it's down to about half full and it gurgling like mad.
It would say it's flooding.
The juice is a 70/30 tobacco and does not have any heavy or thick type of flavorings in it.
It was a brand new carto and absorbed the juice really fast when I primed it,
So... I'm thinking this juice is not a good one for cartos.
I didn't know that a juice could be to thin ... or do I have some other kind of problem.
Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and I should stay away from thinner juices with a carto.
I've been using Stardusts with twists, so using carto's are new to me, and maybe there are a few quirks I should know about.
I don't have a problem with my other cartos, just this one.
Thanks for any info.

Hi

70pg/30vg is my preferred ratio and sometimes 2 holes can be too many.

ETA: If you feel like the filler is too wet (but not flooded), you can use a "tank tool" and push the carto partially out, just to where the holes are exposed and set it down on a paper towel and let some of the juice leach out. You then push it back in and vape away.

Holes in the carto may be too big for the thinner juice. I'm not a carto guy so I'm just making a guess. Someone should be along to give you a better answer than me.

Ocelot beat me to it LOL

So maybe buying an un-punched carto and punching 1 hole would be the answer for thinner juices.???
I was "mov'in up" getting the Vamo's and carto's...but boy was it worth it.. what an improvement ... WOW

You're right about being too big though. One of the vendors I buy from punches the Boge himself and the holes are much too big for my juice - that's why I get the laser pre-punched ones. A lot of people punch their own cartos, but with my juice it wouldn't work for me. The carto punchers don't make small enough holes.

Wait until you try RBAs

As I posted above, look at the size holes the punches make. I get these instead: Single Coil XL Tank replacement 510 cartomizer for 3.5 and 6ml SmokTank XL - w/flange and 1, 2 or 3 holes. They currently have 1 holes in various resistances in stock.

Several places already sell single hole punched carto's from Smoktech.

Here is a 2.0 Ohm
SmokTech Punched Cartomizer for tanks

and a 1.5 Ohm

I must be the only tanker that likes mine flooded. Full of flavor!

The ones I have from Skoetech have 2 REALLY small holes.
But I took a look at your link Ocelot, and I think you've solved my problem.
I'll order some "1 hole" and give them a try. Didn't realize they were available.
This is one of the juices I use everyday (along with the others), so I have to fix the problem or use it only with the clearo's.
After trying it on the Vamo, I don't want to go back to the Stardust with this juice !
I'm "spoiled" already.
Hey Ocelot, love your picture. I have two "Ocelot cats"
Thanks

ICK, it is better to be eaten alive by ants than to have flooding.

I really like the 1-holed ones, but often can only find them in 1.7Ω. You're in luck with what Smoktek has in stock right now. Of course they would have stock, I don't need any at the moment...

"Of course they would have stock, I don't need any at the moment..."

You've got that right ... A while back EVERYONE was "out of stock" on what I needed, Chinese holidays were roaring over there, and everyone over here sucked the suppliers clean.
I finally found it, killed my checkbook, and a week later my mailbox was full of "it's back in stock" notices.
Thanks again. I kind of thought that was the problem. My "juice" thanks you too.
