It's very common, particularly if you are dripping.

If you are build your own coils, adjusting the coils internal diameter, and coil placement (both height and distance from air flow) can help.

Otherwise, and with prebuilt coils, adjusting the watts, airflow, and the amount of juice around the wick can help.

Usually if you open the airflow a bit, it will help. Also, if it's a "spitting" problem from the atty, the "knucklehead" rotary drip tips are great; I use ONLY those with all RDAs, because the hot spats go straight up, but don't go around the bend in the driptip.

I've been using the Aspire Titon tank. It loads from the top and has 2 air flow adjustments. I like a lot of cloud so I wonder if it's just too open. IDK....I know so little about this that I haven't a clue what I'm actually adjusting. Lol!

No, when it's not enough airflow, it pulls too much juice into the wick, which then goes upward when you pull on it; if you open the airflow a bit, it won't be so much "suction" on the juice.

I didn't catch what tank you are using. When I get juice in my mouth, I use a donut drip tip until I figure out what the problem is.

I always have a little bit of juice in my tip after a while... I thought it was due to condensation from the vapor???

Mostly, it is. But I think the problem they were talking about was feeling the juice come up when you take a hit -- not pleasant, whether it's because the airflow is too tight, or the coil is spitting at you. If you swab out the driptip (and chimney, if using a tank) and it fixes the problem, then it's just condensate.

I always use knucklehead driptips for all RDAs, or even a tank if the coil is spitting.

Take a sheet of pipe screening (local tobacco shop has tons of this) and hole punch it with a standard hole punch. The little circle you punched out fits perfectly underneath a standard 510 drip tip and eliminates most, if not all spit back (depending on how bad your spit back is). Cheap, easy fix that allows you to use whatever tip you want.

Here's a pic of some stuff I found on google, just for reference.
