What kind of gear are you using? Flooded coil, probably. And welcome to the board.
too much liquid gets to the coil, so instead of a saturated wick you have juice sitting there. Remedy is to open your airflow, and not draw as hard. Higher vg content will help as well, as it will not wick so easily, although if it is too high it could not wick enough and give dry hits. I had this problem quite a bit with the subtank, a couple hits with the wattage cranked up will dry it out. Also make sure everything is tightened down properly, so it isn't leaking through the cracks
No prob. I don't have one, but if you're a newbie, you're almost certainly using the factory coils. "Flooded coil" means, simply, there is more juice in the vape chamber-- where the vapor is produced-- than there should be. There can be several causes for this. The coil might be missing or have a bad o-ring seal. The coil might be improperly seated, either too tight or too loose will do it. The coil might have a bad wick. The tank might have an air leak. You might be vaping at too low a power. Those tanks work by an air-over-vacuum system. The juice tank is sealed. The vapor chamber is open to atmosphere (through the drip tip where you take the hit with your mouth) and is at atmospheric pressure. These two chambers are connected by the wick. As you burn juice by vaping, the wick absorbs more from the tank, lowering the juice volume, and thus pressure, in the juice tank. When the pressure in the juice tank gets low enough, the pressure differential between the juice and vape chambers will "burp" an air bubble in to the juice tank, equalizing the pressure and beginning the cycle again. Anything that allows juice to flow freely into the vapor chamber will flood the coil. Disassemble the tank and check the seals on your coil against a replacement, see if they look the same. Look at the wick, see if there are any hollow spots. Replace the coil if need be or reinstall the old one. Run it down until the seals contact and then another 1/8th turn. Then reassemble the tank, being careful all the o-rings are in the right place and making contact. Make sure your wattage is adjusted within the specified value for the coil, but towards the low end to start. Then try again.
ah,I was just coming back to mention the possibility of a bad wick. From what I hear those are notoriously inconsistent. A good way to check your deal is to block the air intakes worth your finger and suck/blow. You shouldn't get anything to happen
maybe. Do like I said first. Open up your airflow and crank the watts to burn the excess away, and dry it out. If this fails, it continues to flood, take out apart and make sure everything is tight, and properly seated, make sure your o rings are not damaged(you could change the wick at this point of you want.) then of that fails, it is safe to say it is a bad wick.
what coil are you using, and at what wattage? What is your vg/pg ratio? A very thin liquid is going to be leaky with a bottom coil like that

When you've filled your tank, take a q-tip or rolled up tissue and use that to clean the tube in the middle of the tank. Condensation can build in there, and end up in your mouth. After filling and reassembling the tank, always take a few drags immediately to reinstate negative pressure in the tank. With a new coil, you could also take a few dry pulls (do not push the button when taking a drag). That will prevent gurgling or flooding of the coil.
oh... The rba. Well, you very likely did a bad job at wicking it. You don't need to change the coil. But pull out the cotton, cut a new piece, bigger piece, and re wick it, make sure it is packed in firmly around the holes. You may have to try a few times to get it right, can be a bit tricky to find a balance between too stiff to wick, and too thin to block the channels
Haha yea. its only my 4th day vaping. Shall practise more on the wick part. Really appreciate your help!!
sure dove in headfirst, huh? Good luck. Maybe try the occ heads. Get an idea of how it's supposed to work before you mess with the rba, trying to recreate that. Helps to have a good model, ya know? Not knocking you, but out seems unnecessarily difficult. Why invent the wheel when you can copy it? That's China's motto.
Subtanks are notorious for spitting. What worked best for me on the RBA is downsizing to a 1.5 mm coil. Less cotton surface area=less juice not getting vaporized. Mine has been spit free since
