Flooding tank + carto problem

[septick]

I finally found my perfect mix, I have the egoT 100mAh battery and i picked up basically this SMOKTech 510 Dual Coil Tank Combo (purchased separately.) 90% of the time this is amazing, but lately the carto has begun to flood, giving me gurgling noises and juice in my mouth. I've been using a couple methods to temporarily resolve this; using a napkin to wick away some juice from the top of the polyfill, and holding the button while not hitting it and then resuming vaping by keeping the juice away from the fill hole. This is kind of a crappy fix, but what can you do? Anyone have any suggestions? (happened with 2 cartos so far)

Time to replace them I'd say. That's what I do when that happens. Have you been using them long?

awwww I don't want to jump to that conclusion so quickly, they still burn fine, and I'm all about stretching them as long as possible =) I don't feel like I've been using them that long, but I'm also not sure of their expected life span. I can typically use them for 3-4 weeks if not longer. Once I dry them out a bit they work good as new. I've been taking longer, slower draws and that seems to be making a difference so far.

I was having the same issue with the DCC tanks it seemed like 3 out of 5 cartos would start over wicking I had to push the tank up to cover the hole so it would stop wicking it was bumming me out so I ended up cutting the down my tanks to fit a SR boge carto just didn't have any luck with them so I gave up on them and went back to what works for me.

Is the o ring damaged? That happened to me when I was installing the carto I damage the 0 ring and it flooded the carto

Unfortunately the dual coil cartos heat up the juice and turn it almost to water if you are constantly hitting it. You need to let it cool down between vapes. One way to do this is to get a second setup or trash the carto and start over but eventually you are going to start having the same problems. I stopped using the dcc's in my tanks because of this...I chainvape. I cut all of my tanks down to fit a Boge.

wow your getting 3 to 4 weeks on dual cartos.... why complain. I seem to only get 3 or 4 days before they become foul tasting. I would be so happy with a week. Whats your secret?

@jacquelyn everything seems tight and good to go, i don't suspect the tank is faulty.
@hairball you're probably right, i tend to chainvape as well when i'm at home or a bar =)
@brad33 wow 3 or 4 days? you must be doing it wrong somehow heh. sounds like you're burning yours out or something? I like the tank because it keeps that from happening. I'm complaining because other than the flooding issue, the cartos are functioning as normal, and i don't like to be wasteful.
so far slowing down on my pull has helped a lot, and i'll keep puffing on these bad boys for as long as i can =)

If they're overfilled and gurgling, remove the carto from the battery, hold a tissue around the connector end while *gently* blowing through the mouth-piece. That should clear out any of the residual juice that's trapped in the center tube and should take care of the gurgling.

Hope this helps!

Its time to replace the cartos. I had the same mindset as you on getting every hit from the carto. But after months of use I determined it wasn't worth the hassle. Also I have problems with the thinner eliquids.

I get anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks from a carto.
