Flooding the atty??

Tilt your e-cig back (mouthpiece downward) for a second or three. Make sure the juice doesn't all run down into the atty(and battery if too much). While your not using it, lay it down flat for a minute or two. Then start out with the e-cig pointing up a little and gradually tilt down. I usually go for one drop, 7 or 8 good hits, for me.
Sounds to me like he flooded an auto battery, and the LED is blinking.
Does the LED on an auto battery blink when you have a flooded atomizer?
Wow, I learned something new today!!
I thought the LEDs only blinked due to battery issues.
Sorry---when the tip of the battery blinks it indicates something...fast when the battery is low, slow when it's flooded I think. I have a dse901.

Flood the atty, and the juice runs down to the batt, gumming up the works. LED starts flashing. The guy has 24 posts, so I can safely assume that hes not sure if its the atty, batt, or both.
I was under the impression that slow blinking on an automatic battery means that you have hit the cutoff point wherein you were about to get a decent drag off your electronic cigarette, but were prevented from doing so by the automatic battery cutoff.
But I'm waiting for Jim to reply so I know how full of crap I might be.
Ah, I see.
Personally, I think you have to be a nutjob to gum up your battery in this day and age.
I have been dripping a lot on a 306 and an RN4081, both with manual batteries.
I have never even gotten a single smidgeon of juice past my atomizer yet.
I just can't imagine what someone would have to do to get juice past the atomizer and into the battery.
Actually, I can imagine, but I won't comment on that here.

I think you may be right. My manual is poorly translated and implies something to that effect. I have manuel batteries so maybe it's not flooded, just me dragging too long. It does happen when I do that and works fine after so...still learning.
Thanks for the tips everyone!!!
From experience with a couple of auto batts, they just start blinking randomly when something is wrong or damaged. I dropped one, and the damn thing was flashing Morse Code for hours.
Not everyone is as careful as you are. We have a lot of folks who just jump right in without knowing the consequences. (See my Sig.)
It sounds more to me like his battery is just dying, and so he thinks he's flooding because he's getting nothing but juice.
On my 306 (mini fogger) I usually drip one or two drops (max) onto the atomizer coil, then puff on it for a bit until I no longer get good vapor. Eventually the LED will blink telling me its time to recharge the battery. I'll also get lower vapor production for about 10-15 minutes leading up to this.
How long were you vaping on the PV before this happened? Do you see any liquid on the battery connector of the atomizer or on the battery itself? It's awful hard for me to flood my 306 atomizer and it's quite a small atty. I've never seen any juice get through the atomizer to the battery, and it is an automatic battery as well.
