Keep flooding atty!!!

[bogeyjim]

Ok so Ive gotten the weakest vapor ever for the past hour or so and its pissing me off!!

I drip 2 drops on the atty and its flooded, I blow it out as hard as I could and nothing comes out.

Put it back on and gurgle gurgle....

This is driving me insane, any ideas?

PS this is a 510

I am *far* from an expert here. In fact, dripping has been pissing me off for days now! However, I'd guess that if you're blowing out the atty and nothing is coming out, it wasn't flooded. Chances are, you didn't put *enough* juice in.

If youre blowing it out and theres nothing, just try vaping thru the gurgle and see what happens?
Actually - now I come to think on it - sometimes i get the gurgle cos theres juice trapped in the empty cart mouth piece so I have to blow that out as well. Actually that happens a lot I blow the mouthpiece first that usually fixes it (I drip alll the time and I vape like a train..lol)

Edit: also i use 3 or 4 drips on the bridge of the atty - 2 isnt enough

Sometimes the gurgle comes from the mouth piece. Liquid gets trapped under the top disc. I just throw away the disc and the inner disc if I use a cart.

If you're not getting liquid on the threads and in the battery connector, you're probably not flooding.

Concur. My experience on the 510 is that it tends to prefer a thicker e-liquid consistency, since it seems to saturate the atty into producing maximum vapor while not flooding it and producing a gurgle and a weak vape. In my experience, flooding is a real risk if your liquid is very runny, but you can still direct drip if you do so ONE drop at a time. You'll get a single decent drag out of it and will then have to re-drip. But doing more than one drop at a time risks flooding the atty.

Freshly charged batt, clean atty, one drop of eliquid at a time is always a fallback point if you have to dispose of bunk eliquid, as I currently am.

I have only flooded 1 aty and my solution was to drown it more! I stuck it in a ziploc bag with some aristocrat vodca and shook the heck out of t and let it sit . Then I let it sit overnight and let it dry the next day.

I just got my TW Tornado today and was having a bit of a problem with the gurgling. I'd try to puff through it and end up getting liquid in my mouth. After reading this thread I've fixed my problem and I'm finally getting my expected results from the tornado!

Turns out I was flooding mine, this is my first device I can drip with, my old Vx2 had an auto bat.

I kind of like a little gurgle, especially on the USB passthrough. Kinda feels like I'm smoking a big ole Dell XPS hookah!
