I've got a flooding Ikenvape carto, and no backup.

So, I'm at work for another 4 hours. I have my Billet Box with an Ikenvape Platinum Punch SR in there. It's flooding like crazy and it's not tasting right. Yeah, a dud. I also don't have a backup on me. This carto's about 5 hours old too.

...?

Theoretically you could pull the filler out and drip. I've never tried it though. If it's a double-punch you can stick a toothpick into one of the holes, that might stop the flooding.

Leave Work Now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't drip at the moment lol. It's in the tank inside my Billet Box.

I'm pondering leaving work asap haha.

Don't leave the house without a backup.

Vapors' creed: Backups for your backups.

I'm assuming the carto is in a tank? You did say Punched! This may or may not work.

Take the cartotank off your battery device. Turn the tank upside down so that the drip tip is pointing toward the ground, and the carto holes are in the air pocket inside the tank. Blow relatively forcefully on the drip tip in this position. The idea here is to clear the center air hole of juice, yet not encourage additional e-liquid into the carto from the tank.

If this seems to clear the air hole, place the cartotank back onto your battery device. Do a couple of short battery burns without vaping. Hopefully you can vaporize some excess e-liquid without pulling more juice into the carto.

Now do a gentle vape. If this method works, it should last until you get home. However, once the fluid barrier is breached in a cartomizer, they tend to leak. You'll likely need to replace the carto once you get home.

This is the first time I've ever needed a backup in my years of vaping lol.

It's in a tank yes, let me try that out right now. I hope it works lol.

The carto isn't really "terrible", just "meh". It isn't like a regular Boge that I'm used to lol.

Bet you remember this day for a long time.

Definitely lol. I'm happy that it's at least usable thought. It's just not up to par with what I normally get from my BB.

Just tried Baditude's trick. It seemed to have helped a bit, though I'm sure the carto is just bad. It's definitely a little more enjoyable now (thicker plumes, flavor's a bit better), but I'll be quick to swap out the carto once I get home.
