Flooding Carttomizers

[Ofgent408]

Just moved into tank vaping and find that I am constantly running into flooded carto's in my tank. I am using 1.5 DCT dual-coil and I am begining to suspect that I may be running them at to high a voltage, causing them to get too hot. I use a ProVari with Phiniac tank, running at 4.4volts. I am thinking that the 1.5 dual coils need to run at a lower voltage such as 3.6, 3.8 or 4.0! Anyone with thoughts on this?

138 days without analog pipe or cigars and loving it. vaping is my new passion!

Sometimes even with same carto type I get different results. Usually when it floods I just hold in a position where juice cannot enter and vape through until its no longer flooded. I have tested on all different voltages and it seems that the only difference it made was at higher voltages I could clear the flood faster but would still have to hold where juice could not enter.

What kind of tank? DCT?

How many holes in the carto- try to plug one.

What is your ejuice mixture?- Straight PG may require just 1 hole.

Don't drip juice into the carto after you get it running.

A carto filling tool is better than using the cap.

I am using a mixture of tapes, DCT, F16, Phiniac.
My juice is all 50/50 except for one that is 40p/60v.
Boge F16 carto's seem to work bette that others. The F16 Carto's have 2 holes.
What is the best way to clear a carto when it starts gurgling?

To clear cartos, I take a piece of toilet paper and twist one corner into a very tight, long, thin cone. Gently push this into the carto from the battery side, twisting as you go. You should be able to get it almost an inch into the carto. Hold it there for a couple of minutes. The toilet paper will soak up any excess juice around the coil and wick it down. Then very gentle, long puffs at an increased wattage. Repeat if necessary but it usually isn't.

Are you getting flooding right after you add juice? You can't fill the tank, then push the top cover back on. I found this out the hard way, it pushes juice into the carto and floods it.

crank up the volts. light draws. and like said above.... try to position the carto in a way that the juice cant get in while you burn it out. kinda hard to do when there are two holes though.

i find that i gurgle quicker when i am constantly hitting and hitting it hard.

If my carto floods and it is not full of juice, I hold it upside down with a napkin on the connection end and gently blow. Have only needed to do that a couple of times and it has worked every time. However, I have not attempted this when the carto is completely full for fear of drawing more juice into the carto.

I like to use a piece of TP, roll it from the corner, tight and small so it fits in the bottom hole (connector end). Less mess and it clears right up. No worries about juice getting on or in your mouth, juice spraying everywhere.
It may just be your carto too. I have hit and miss times from the same carto batch as well.

I use this method as well.

Thanks for the pointers!
