Got my first mouth full of juice

[BonnyC]

So, yeah. That cartomizer must have been a bit full. Not sure what to do with it now because I wanna use it but I don't know how to get the excess out. In the meantime, I've properly filled another with a different juice blend.

Also, I swear it didn't look like it was full! I was looking for the juice to start to pool at the top but it never did that, so I just decided I'd put enough in there. Turns out, it was more than enough.

That can happened from shipping or storage...

For V4L cartos...

Pop the top (unbent paper clip pushed in just as far as needed to pop it because you don't want to catch the stuffing). Dry the top.

Tilt the open end down and against a tissue, blow through the battery hole to clear the air channel. Sometimes I'll make a pointy shape out of tissue and clean up any extra juice hanging around the inner metal sides between the stuffing and the open top.

Make sure the threaded end is dry, put the top back on and try again.

It will be good practice for when you add more juice. When I add juice it usually won't vape well until I do this a 1-3 times.

This can happen when too much juice floods the atomizer. I have had this happen when dripping.

Don't overfill cartridges, and when they are full don't draw too hard until some of the juice vaporizes off.

If it's gurgling you're drawing too hard and risk siphoning some juice into your mouth. If this happens just spit it out and rinse your mouth if it makes you feel better.

I've gotten a mouthful of juice (24mg) and am of the opinion it's about the same amount of nicotine/burn as chewing tobacco. So it may make you slightly sick to your stomach if you are not used to this sort of thing, but no permanent harm.

If you overfill a cartridge, you can take it off, and use a cutip, sponge, tissue, rag or whatever you have to blot the excess juice from the filling material. Then reattach and draw gently (and enjoy clouds of vapor) until the excess juice vaporizes off.

You have now been properly initiated - welcome to the club!

This can happen from overfilling but it can also happen if your battery is weak. If the battery is not producing enough power to vaporize the liquid completely.

You can just burn the cartomizer until it dries up.
Sometimes I put a little too much in the cartomizer. I'll get a mouthful of juice and just run the battery through it a few times.
You can also try blowing through the top part to clear the excess liquid. Just make sure you have something to clean it up with. I usually hold a paper towel to the end of it. If I don't have paper towels, I'll just blow it into my hand and wipe it off.
Make sure to clean the battery node and the cartomizer node, and to get rid of excess fluid that will dry up and can interfere with the functioning.
