Kis, I have found that the method you are describing has worked very well for me. I thought I was doing good and getting good vape but when I blew back into the mouthpiece there was liquid all on the inside of the unit. I cleaned up and first pumped 1 time but even that caused it to flood. Thats when I started just barely tapping it and it started to vape a little slow at first and then better after a few hits. Yours is the best method I've found so far.
