I took my stinky perfumiee atty out of the ultrasonic cleaner this morning and thank god it doesn't stink anymore (as this is the only lr atty I have for now).
I am starting to get the hang of it kinda.
I saw a video but cant remember if it was the reo or another model about only "lightly" sqeezing the bottle.
But I have noticed I have to squeeze this not hard but not light. The juice comes up around the bottom of the atty then sucks itself back up into the atty.
Is this correct or am I squeezing to hard?

Oh how I love orange :)

Also, when your bottle is full, it takes less squeezing than when it's almost empty. Just saying.

It won't take long to get the hang of it. Took me a few days, and I'm usually SLOW :)

no no im not filling the whole catch cup lol, just until I see it leak out of the holes then i let go and it seems to suck it right back up.
So this is safe to drive with lol? One of the reasons I got one as I LOVE to drip.
You don't want to fill the catch cup up with juice. If you see juice starting to peek out of the connection in the catch cup, that should be sufficient. Sounds like you're getting it. :)

Sure! If you're using an atty or carto, you can just squeeze and go....or you can draw on the tip while you squeeze at the same time. You will figure out what works best for you....then it's easy to do while driving....leaving you to focus on the road. :)

I've found that if take a small inhale while pushing on the bottle it will go straight into the atty/carto without filling the catch cup.

That is called the blind squonk. A lot of Reonauts use that method. Just squeeze without firing while drawing. Listen for the gurgle and you will also feel a little resistance. Stop sqonking! You are ready to vape! This method usually produces no juice in the catch cup.


lol im doing that now :) trying to squeeze and figure out if its enough to fill. testing testing lol

Listen for the gurgle! That is the clue to having enough juice!


ok, dumb question of the day, I don't use cartos often. you put a filled carto on, right? not an empty one?

No need to prefill the cartos. Just put it on and blind squonk. It will require squonking more often for the few vapes. But after that it is really easy. Just blind squonk.

What I was trying to say was that some people fill the carto first and vape for a while and then they squonk- other people don't- the squonk an empty carto to fill them

thanks! and lol to your other post, I thought man I must be really stupid because I have no idea what he is talking about LOL
and congrats on 2 years! when I started (only a month or so after you) you really helped me and you knew so much, I can't believe it was just a short time between our starts :)

We settled into mostly Smoketech cartos for past year or more. Certainly long ago enough to perfect blind squonking. Couple months ago I ran across three boxes of cartos in storage, from 2011, that appeared to be Smoketech but not sure. (Boxes and labeling are similar.) Several of the cartos from those boxes allow juice to mouth no matter how gently you draw. Made me aware that some cartos don't work as well for blind squonking. BTW we both always start with empty cartos and prime one to three times with just a tiny bit from blind squonk. Every once in a while a carto will start off tasting burnt so just trash it as it will never get better.
