Cartotank Vape

[Vainkid]

yesterday i was on my first time on my ibtanked, first half of the day it was fine but using my tank for about 9 hours, whenever i vape, juices start coming out of the drip tip and touches my lips and the taste is AWFUL. whats wrong? did i vape wrongly ?

if i accident eat some juice, will i get nicotine poisoning ?

The IBTanked tank is fine. What carto are you using? The carto appears to be flooded.

Off the top of my head . . . Did you happen to refill the tank with the cap off? Did you start drawing/pulling to heavy? Is the carto pre-punched?

Heavy pulls will flood the carto, as will thin juices. Just remove it from the PV, and blow the excess out in the sink, or into a Kleenex, pull your drip tip off and wash it under running water, wipe the excess out of the PV connector, and try inhaling on it with it off the PV, if no gurgles reconnect to your PV and drive on. No, that little of juice in the mouth will not induce nic poisoning.

Hope that helps.

Your experience fits the description of a "flooded carto". This can be caused by a couple of things.

Too strong of a draw while vaping a cartotank can cause too much e-liquid to fill the carto. The liquid barrier can't handle all of the juice and some leaks into the center air hole and can get sucked up when you inhale. Advice: Slow down. Take slow, deliberate, gentle draws of 3 - 6 seconds length. Imagine sucking a thick milkshake with a straw.

Filling or refilling a cartotank with the top cap off is poor technique. When the top cap is replaced, the sudden increased pressure inside the tank forces juice into the carto leading to flooding. Refill your tank with the method shown in the video of this cartotank tutorial: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3710-5-cartomizer-tank-setup.html

You might be able to save a flooded carto with this method. Remove the cartotank from your battery device. Turn the tank upside down so the drip tip is facing the floor. With a paper towel on the other side to catch juice, blow forcefully through the drip tip. (You don't want to encourage more juice to enter the carto while blowing, hence blowing the tank upside down places the carto's holes in the air space inside the tank.)

Next, put the tank back on your battery device. Do a couple of short dry burns (firing the battery without vaping). The idea here is to vaporize some of the remaining excess juice in the carto. Don't over do this part, or you run the risk of burning the filler material and ruin the cartomizer.

Hopefully this helps.

I have a ibtanked tank. It will flood on me from time to time. I also have some smoktech tanks that rarely flood. I think the ibtank has a much tighter seal which can cause a difference in pressure as a draw on it. The result is the liquid floods into the cart. I sit the tank on its side and carefully pull the cart out. wipe it off and attach it to the connector. Start taking draws but do it slowly. after a while it will vape in a normal way. put it back in the tank and try again. Good luck

I refill by pushing down the carto using the drip tip, the carto comes from the complete tank set from IBT and it's prepunched
