Flooding with Smoktech 510 dct

[joey16]

Hello I am havin problems with my dct. So I fill up my tank directly on my pv by removing the drip tip and metal end cap . All goes well I fill it up but as soon as I put back the cap all the liquids comes up and floods the cotton end of the carto and im stuck vaping juice or having to remove some with a q tip . Also when I put the cap back on liquid oozes out of the bottom but once I wipe it it stops oozing . What's going on I'm gettin frustrated ! Thanks

When you're putting on the top cap air pressure is forcing the liquid into the tube. Try putting your drip tip on after filling and blowing the excess out, you should be fine after that.

When your filling it one thing that might help excess from getting in the tube is to put the top cap on just far enough for the o-rings to be against the tank, just enough for juice not to come out the top. Then turn the tank upside down enough that juice is not surrounding the air holes an slide the top the rest of the way into place.

It managed to settle down and it's vaping just fine now

Thanks for the great tips I will try them when it comes time to top up my tank

when refilling the tank, you're supposed to leave both caps in place in the tube. to refill remove drip tip, push carto down (leave top cap on), fill while avoiding carto. once full, push by the flanges to reinsert carto past top cap. i find that a 5ml bottle is easier to use to accomplish this than a 30ml bottle.
the reason why this method is recommended is to help avoid the flooding you're experiencing.
