Filling RSST issue

[Haber]

Hey guys looking for a few pointers from the vets. I'm fairly new to RBA's (built my first aga t for my mech last week). I picked up a vamo and an RSST from my local B&M yesterday. Rigged it up at 1.5 ohms and have been vaping it without a problem. The tank got low today so I removed the fill cap and tried to pour some juice in....except it came spewing up the wick and through the wick hole. I've put 3 or 4 tanks through my aga t without an issue, could I have rolled the wick too thick for this one? (It slid in with no problem when I set it up)

Any help would be much appreciated!!

LOL.. that's the surface tension. When I refill with a syringe, I make sure there is no juice on the needle or the juice will create a.. um..barrier (for lack of a better word) and the juice will come back up instead of going down into the tank. Irritating when this happens. I take a thin needle and swish it around in the fill hole to break the juice bubble. I know I didn't explain that well but I did the best I could

Ditto. You need to use a long needle to fill that doesn't block air returning through the fill hole. That air needs somewhere to go and it goes up through the wick if the fill hole is blocked with whatever you're filling it with. My AGA-Ts do this as well. Just the nature of the beast.

Lol ya that's what I thought any idea where to pick one up? I walked into Walmart today and asked for a "blunt syringe" and was given the crazy eyes.

LiteCigUSA and MyFreedomSmokes both sell syringes and MyFreedomSmokes sells needle-tip bottles that are pretty good quality. Just skew your needle at an angle in the fill hole and 99% of the time you won't have pressure building up. If you can imagine a side view cutout of the fill hole with a needle in it: |//|

I never use a syringe to refill my rsst. I just put the juice bottle tip on the hole and apply pressure. I have had it come up the wick. When my tank needs to be refilled to keep it from coming up the wick I hold the rsst so the wick is horizontal and facing up, out of the juice. Then dry burn it a little to burn off the crud on the coil and dry the wick. Then refill like I said. No problems and less maintenance in the long run.
