Leaking through airhole on RM2 Help!

[hubseven]

juice coming out of airhole on RM2. Been Reo user for 2+ years and RM2 user for 8 months.

1- Oversquonking was my first thought, but never had problem before
2- Maybe coil position- to high to low?
3- I center the airhole to the center of the coil
4- Use cotton wicks
5-Have o-ring between the 2 pieces of the RM2, but can see juice coming out of airhole.

I'm out of ideas, any suggestions. Thanks.

Take your drip tip off and look. I bet it isn't draining. The hose could be stuck on the bottom of the bottle.

is your feed tube sticking to the bottom? if so, cut a v notch in the tip so it looks like a pac man mouth

I've noticed that if I let the batteries run low I have a tendency to over squonk and end up with juice leaking out of air hole. It took several times of this leaking for me to figure out the connection.

Thats an interesting observation, vapor is low so you instinctively think it needs more juice.

I still don't trust myself with a blind squonk, the dreaded dry cotton hit makes me too scared not to check.

Adjust the cap on your bottle. Sometimes that hinders the flow back into the bottle.

Is it is real squishy bottle? You might need to push lighter and for a shorter time to feed the right amount of juice.

Exactly, last time it happened I was watching a movie and would hit it get low vapor and squonk. a few minutes later hit it again get low vapor, forgot I'd just squonked and do it again. then on the third or fourth try think the bottle must be low and hold the squonk even longer. Net result was sticky fingers, had juice all over the top running down the side pulled the battery and it was at 3.49 volts. I usually change them at 3.65 or above.

I've definitely noticed a connection between a low battery and over squonking (and subsequent leaking out the air hole.) It usually happens, like Filthy-Beast said, when I'm preoccupied with something. Mine happens sometimes in the car. Squonking is so second nature that I don't think much about it. When the vapor is low (or too cool) I assume I need to squonk....when really I need to change the battery! The only other thing I'd check is whether or not you might have too much wick blocking the drain.

I am guilty of a low battery and over plunging . I really hate it when that happens

Do you have a o-ring between reo and rba to fill the visible gap? if so then that can slow down the suction back into the bottle, then you end up pumping air into the bottle giving you an auto feed

The low battery is a definite possibility. Also sometimes after I vape the juice comes out of airhole, maybe my coil is to far from the posts, near the edge and I am sucking the juice out through the airhole which is lined up with the center of the coil. Minor problem for a clearly superior device. Thanks to all.

Since people are admitting to the low battery here...I thought of posting here when I realized something.

Had to rewick twice the last couple days, three times yesterday. Could not figure out why my flavor was funky.

I was using a two or more week old coil...oops. Dropped a new one on this morning, all is good so far

The low battery sounds good, but just how would a low battery produce juice out of the airhole??? Thanks.

Because it might lead to over squonking. You think the wick is not wet and you over squonk. And then it leaks.

In my case, it happens because the vape gets weak, and I think to myself, "Hmmm, needs another juice up".....several times, before it dawns on me I haven't changed the battery in like 6 hours of heavy vaping

Same thing here.

Same thing here. I get busy and just keep squonking to try to get the vape I'm expecting, when I really need to change out the battery.
