Flooding my atomizer

[superfeather]

I love to drip. It;s my favorite way to vape. I have only been doing it for about a week. I notice I keep flooding the atomizer. I drop 2-3 drops and hit about 10-15 times. Then the flavor becomes harsh and burns my throat. I take this means that its time to drip more, but then it gets flooded and I cant get any vapor. It also sounds like bubbles are coming up with I take a hit. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Super, I love to drip too. what atty are you using? I use a Cisco 306-3.0ohm@5.2v (~9 watts) regularly. 2-3 drops is the right amount for 8-10 good hits. You may have residual in the mesh. I would blow it out completely (from the mouth end into a paper towel), clean it (I shake it in 100 proof vodka in a old 10ml bottle for a few minutes), blow it all out again and re-prime (5-6 drops and let sit for a few minutes to soak in). Then add 2 drops and take a hit. If good and tasty, vape away. otherwise add 2 more drops and try again.

Been there - done that. For me, two drops would give about 4 hits before the bad flavor. Another two drops and all was good. I gauged it by looking in the drip well. If it stayed dry and 2 drops every 4 or so hits tasted good, I stayed with that routine. More drops just cuased a mess and wasted juice.

I loved dripping at first, but I started having so many problems with it. My atties were only lasting like a day or two, before they just tasted harsh, no matter what I did. And so, trying to get some flavor, I'd drip more, and then flood it, get juice in my mouth, etc.. But I was also using an 801 mini device. I've not tried it with my newer 510 devices, and I'd like to.

OK I am confused, I was reading on the Cisco site that you should not blow into the mouth end but just the opposite so that the air is exiting out the mouth end. I am thinking I may have misinterpreted what you advised but want to be clear about it nonetheless. Thanks, Nevalern

You're not doing anything wrong. It's just part of the learning curve. If you feel like it's time to drip again and add 3 drops again, you're gonna flood that atty. No big deal. Just blow it out and vape it without adding any more drops. When you need to, add a drop or two. You'll get it . Keep trying This ain't rocket surgery.
