Kanger Aerotank Flooding

[Ohmegas]

Hey everyone, looking to get some insight here on a recent issue I have been encountering. I have a Kanger Aerotank that keeps flooding nearly everytime I load it with juice. It gurgles like crazy and when I pull, I can feel specks of juice hitting my throat (which taste pretty awful after a while). Not too familiar with this issue as it is the first time I encountered it but I'm looking to gain insight as to why this is happening. I am currently vaping with an iTaste VV v3 and 1.5 ohm coil. The issue seems to occur with 90% of my juices however one juice I have, a Dragon Ch'i flavour by Halcyon Vapors I picked up from Dash Vapes here in Toronto doesn't seem to cause the tank to flood (likely because the juice may be slightly more viscous).

Any insight/feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the Aerotank, but I believe it's an older type tank.

My experience is, if a tank gurgles or floods, you can change your juice to a higher VG content, and it may minimize the flooding, but in the long run it isn't going to solve the problem! Besides, who wants to be limited in their juice selection due to a faulty tank???

You probably won't like my advise, but it's what I would tell a friend, starting out vaping, with the same problem.... dump the Aerotank, and get yourself a Kanger Sub Tank mini. You can get them with coils at 1.2 ohm resistance if you're not into sub ohm vaping.

I've tried a LOT of tanks, and nearly all of them leak out of the air control holes, eventually. The only tank *I* have used, that doesn't gurgle, doesn't spit and doesn't leak.... Kanger Sub tanks! You can also choose to get the nano, a smaller tank, but it only holds 2.5ml of juice, so you'll find yourself having to refill the tank several times a day.

You may also need a new battery/device....although, you say you're currently vaping on an iTaste VV at 1.3 ohm, so you shouldn't have any issues with a tank using a 1.2ohm coil.

I'm sure others will chime in, some with a different opinion.

You can fiddle around with the "fill in the name of the tank" for a while, then trash it and try a new tank, or save yourself the aggravation, spend a few bucks, and get a Sub Tank Mini.

My two cents...

How much power are you pushing through it? I've had my Aerotank V2 and Mow (pretty much the same thing) for a few months and I have yet to experience any leaking. I run mine from 7-7.5 watts with 65/35 pg/vg.

subtank spit and leaks in joints, i get juice on drip tip etc... it is not the saint grial of tanks, dont get me wrong i really like mine with max vg juice but i still have my aerotank in rotation, i use aerotank at work because is dicrete on a istick 20

back to the topic ...try 50/50 pg/vg juices, thicker juices and like tls said check your voltage. i am using 1.8 heads @ 9.2watts and no problems

So I was able to somewhat determine what the issue was but I'm not quite sure it makes any logical sense. I recently upgraded my battery from the iTaste VV v3 to a Cloupor Mini 30. It seems that with the higher wattage I am able to push to the coils, the better the vape is (obviously) but also it seems that there is less leaking as I am not having to drag as hard to get big clouds as I used to have to with the iTaste. It seems that somehow I was flooding the tank by taking bigger than normal drags. I tested my hypothesis for a week now and it seems to hold out. I've been hitting 50/50 juice (which has historically been notorious for flooding my tank) as well as 70/30 and haven't had a single flooding incident since.

Weird, eh?
