Cooking for Flooding?

I wouldnt do it.... too much of a chance to burn the juice/wick and gunk up a coil.... when I had atties that would flood I would open the airflow as wide as possible and take gentle draws on it while vaping... pulling too hard causes more juice to enter the vape chamber
My airflow is always on the widest setting anyway cause that's how I like it. I'll try that. Usually the problem self-resolves after a few unsatisfying minutes of attempting to vape, more or less.
Ummm...
That is a great way to trash a wick in coil as fast as you can - intentionally firing it without drawing to cake flavorings onto everything until you... dry it out?
The better solution would be to figure out why that is happening and correct it. Things like pulling on a BCC clearo harder and faster and longer than the device is able to convert liquid to vapor is one way to cause the problem.
Or you simply turn it upside down, with a piece of paper towel over the drip tip to catch excess liquid that has accumulated in the vent tube and get rid of it that way.
Sometimes, that used to happen to me after rewicking a kayfun.
Over time, I learned that it can be solved by using it "backwards": instead of taking gentle draws on the drip tip - and thus creating at least some negative pressure inside, which will lead to more liquid being drawn in - I would take gentle blows on top of the airflow hole - thus creating positive pressure, which would prevent liquid from entering.
The airflow is still there, removing all vapor thru the drip tip - only now, you are only evaporating the excess liquid inside the chamber. That liquid will not be replaced due to the positive pressure.
I used to do this in front of a mirror, so that I could tell exactly WHEN the problem was solved - when a good, voluminous cloud of vapour would appear at the drip tip, created by just the RIGHT amount of liquid inside that chamber

When mine gets flooded I just hold it upside down so no juice can feed in and take a few drags. It clears it instantly every time

Agreed, Bad Idea.
Passing Heat into a Coil with no air flow to draw liquid across can cause many different problems including Burning your Wicks.
The solution for Leaking is to first find the Cause, of which there can be several reasons, then taking corrective action(s).
Are you Drawing to hard?
Is the liquid to thin?
Is the wick to thin?
Is the wick/coil mis-aligned?
Is there a bad Seal - Air leak?
See, lots of reasons.
I watched a video where the guy opened up the airholes and fired it and hitting it from the airhole not the drip tip.
I keep a few paper towels with me and just flip the tank upside down and blow it out. I don't want to burn the coil out.
I've turned mine upside down, fired it up, & vaped on it. With 1 vape pull it cleared it out. You may want to take the wick out and see if juice has collected at the bottom from a bad seal or just not sitting in there the right way to get the seal to actually seal.
Mentioned earlier but it's what I do,
Tip 'er up like you're finishing off a beer, take a drag or two. No new liquid gets to the coil and hopefully you vaporize what's in there.
