I switched to 30/70 from 50/50 juice and My rm2 doesn't drain nearly as fast as with the 50/50 juice.I am getting wet hits through my drip tip.And it seems I have to re-learn to squonk.If I set my Reo on it's side before waiting a while it drips through the air hole on my hands,clothes ect. Is this normal?I wished it would drain the deck faster. Would a Clalice drain faster then the rm2? Thanks , Dave

Dave, make sure you don't have any wick blocking your drain hole. I vape almost straight VG and my RM2s drain very quickly. You may just need to get used to a new squonking style. I've never vaped much PG, so have no basis of comparison. No, the Chalice (IMHO) doesn't drain any better/faster than the RM2.
This. I used to vape Boba's in mine almost exclusively and it squonked very well. Like he said make sure the wick isnt in the way. I would also try this: if you have a syringe shoot some water up through the 510 hole a couple of times. I had to do that twice while vaping some well-aged CLS because it leaves a lot of soot on the deck that gets down into the channel.

Take the top off and watch the flow. Probably too long of wicks like everyone has said. I had the same problem when I started out a while ago. This winter will be interesting because I leave my Reo in the car a lot when I'm at a place I can't vape. I may have to use a higher PG for the super cold weather.

Check the flow back into the bottle. I've had a piece burnt wick go down the drain hole before. I vape 100% VG also, if I squonk for 3 seconds it takes 3 to 4 to drain, if I squonk for 5 seconds it takes 5 to 6 to drain. My Chalices take a second longer to drain than the RM2.

Leaking from airhole and juice in mouth can also be from condensation, larger bore drip tips help to minimize juice in the mouth.

the juice in your mouth is def from over squonking. when im at home i just stand my reo's up. but when i'm driving and have to put it down i lay it in my lap, air hole up. i have a habit of over squonking a tad, so laying in my lap air hole up always works out well. also blind squonking has helped me tons, squonking while having the airhole pointed down and sucking in until i hear it bubble just enough. :)

Makes no sense that the THINNER juice would drain SLOWER than thicker VG content juice.
Either - you have a clog in your drain hole or tube - or - If you are applying the same squonk pressure using thin juice as you were for thick that would be a cause for flooding and leaking out you air hole. By applying the same pressure for thin juice you are getting ALOT more juice in the atty thus flooding! JMO

That's assuming that when you say 30/70 from 50/50 that it's 30 VG/70 PG

Keep in mind that with the winter coming and cooler temperatures the VG will get even S-L-O-W-E-R as the VG gets very thick in the cold weather. I usually go from 70/30 to 50/50 on my road REO in the winter and going to be outside.
