I have moved from pre-filled carts to direct dripping but I find that when I inhale I will get some juice with my vape. I do the 3 drop until vaping is reduced, but still finding juice with my inhale. I have been able to reduce some of it by adding a small piece of Viva (which has been the best at reducing most of the issue) but I am wondering if any one has any better suggestions.
Am I vaping too hard?
Thanks

Are you direct dripping right onto your atomizer and vaping with a blank cartridge? Or, using a drip-tip? I'd try removing the atomizer from the battery and giving it a gentle blow (I blow mine out from the battery end, others blow out from the cart end) onto a paper towel. It could be it's just a bit flooded.

If you are using a blank cartridge it could be that some juice is trapped inside the tip of the cartridge. You can try inserting a paper clip into the opening and gently popping off the tip. Once removed, you can clean the inside of that part of the cart with a Q-tip, or rinse the entire cart and dry it with Q-tips.

I vape pretty hard, and I drip. I used to use a blank cartridge and drip directly onto to atomizer. I don't know how it would happen but on occasion I'd find juice trapped behind the little section of the cartridge where you inhale from.

I recently came back from a cig-relapse and discovered the acrylic drip tips. If I'm sloppy I'll sometimes drip into the tip a little wonky and get a bit of juice in my mouth. The fix for me to that problem is now I'll drip into the tip and give it a couple of quick flicks, or a gentle blow right into the tip to encourage any juice inside the tip to move on down to the atomizer.

Hope that helped a little!

I just received a couple drip tips myself because of that issue. Thought that did the trick but am finding that it can still happen. One thing I've noticed is I have to curb the tendency to draw too hard. The other is to try not to get the juice on the side wall of the drip tip. Other than that, I have a supply of Boge cartomizers that just came in that I hope will help. I haven't tried them yet as I still have to figure out how to fill them, LOL!

It would help to know what PV you have? Juice in the mouth means the battery is not vaporizing the liquid. With only 3 drops that should not be the case unless you have one of those super small 180 mAh batteries. I'm assuming you are using manual batteries. Auto batteries and dripping don't mix well. With a little more information, you might get more specific help.
