Cooking juice in the REO

[nubcake]

Hi so I've been using my RM2 and REO Grand for almost 3 months now and its awesome. Only thing I started to notice is that my juice starts to darken after vaping 1/3 to 1/2 of the tank through. Im vaping at around 1.4ohms and do roughly 3 second pulls. Else is all stock, (i.e. airholes).

I normally squonk after 1-2 hits. Any idea why this happens? The cooked juice in my bottle kinda changes its flavour

One reason could be if your not letting your coil cool down all the way, and squonking up to a hot coil. When I switched to 28g twisted, I had to adjust a bit because the coil will stay hot for a second or so.

How gunky are you letting your coil and wick get? If your not up-keeping a clean coil and wick, some gunk is going to suck back down into the bottle.

I really can't stand this guys hyper-cutting video's; but this one does show some simple coil up-keeping. Just dry burning will leave some dusty crap around, which could easily be mixing and sucking back down into the bottle. Run the coil under water like in this video.




Otherwise, there is no way the juice is cooking inside the bottle. It's impossible. It's garbage getting sucked back down into it.

Keep a clean Reo. I've been throwing crystal clear wintergreen juice in one of my Reo's for a few months now off and on. Same coil. The juice in the bottle is as clear as it ever was.

EDIT: Don't ever wick your RM2 like he is wicking his RDA in this video...

Every time you squonk the bottle will pull a little bit of the juice left over in your wick back into the bottle so there's really no getting around that.

Another thing that can add to this is if you squonk too soon after taking a drag then your coil will still be hot and cook the juice that you just squonked which also gets sucked back into the bottle.

That actually makes sense cos I squonk like a few seconds right after I vape. Alright gonna try waiting at least awhile to let the cool cool down before squonking. My coils are clean and dry burned after every rebuild. So I guess the issue is squonking too soon after every vape. Thanks!

you will get flavour loss if you have to much wick on the deck around the coil and also if the juice isnt draining properly the deck will hold on to juice and cook it before it even gets to the coil for you to vape, also if you flood the coil in to much juice performance will drop untill the coil starts to vape off the surrounding puddle.

constant tooting and squonking back to back isnt good unless you have minimum wick and even waiting for the coil to cool before squonking juice to it is a plus

I typically change my cotton wick every bottle, 3mls of juice. I went to change it the other day after vaping this yummy new jjuice. Low and behold it was like dark murky muck muck all over. Juice still tasted good, it just cooks itself on the coil/wick. So, it could be the juice. You said you dry burn after every rebuild?like each time you rebuild the coil..? I dry burn every time I change my wick.. So like everyday day.

some juices will do this more than others.

I have a Cinnamon mix that doesn't do it too bad, while Grape Ape will gunk a coil within half a bottle!

I dry burn and wash the coil everytime I change the wick. My all day vape is the grandmaster. And yeah I find that filling 3ml is just nice. Anything more and it'll start to darken. Will try to delay squonking and see how that works out
