More questions... will they ever end?

... but that's not my question . I think i just flooded the atty on my new eGo for the first time. I removed the cart & atty, blew out the atty, tried to wipe away the excess and replaced everything... but i put an empty cart on instead of one with filling (the filled cart still sounded flooded and not producing much vapor). The vapor doesn't taste great but am getting clouds and clouds of it (which of course i love). How long can I do this for without damaging the atty? Is there a better way to "unflood" my atty?

What you're doing is basicly like dripping. You have juice in your atty, put on an empty cart and vape. When dripping, if your atty starts getting dry you need to put some more juice in the atty (2 or 3 drops should do.) The dry taste is not pleasant and you'll probably reduce the life of your atty if you keep running it without enough liquid.

If you blew out the atty well, there probably wasn't much juice. You could have dripped 2 to 3 drops in and had better results. When blowing out an atty, you might try tapping it lightly on the paper towel after you blow through it. Seems to work better for me. You say the cart was sounded flooded. Blow through from the mouth piece end into the paper towel and give it a tap. When refilling the cart, make sure it looks like a slushy. If there is liquid pooled on top of the filler, dab it off. That should help keep the atty from flooding.

A large part of my learning curve was learning to tell what was going on with the atty. Did it have enough juice, too much or too little. I suspect that's pretty common and just takes some experience.

Curly! u should have asked us in live chat beyond shaking/blowing out the excess, there isnt much else u can do to "unflood" an atty. i wouldnt advise you to insert anything in there for fear of damaging it. just vape through it till it hits as normal. remember attys like to be wet so your not really hurting it by flooding.
also i think you accidentally did what people call "direct dripping". it's where you don't use any kind of filler and drip a couple of drops directly onto your atty to vape. you could probably get about 15 good hits off of 2 drops of juice with a stock eGo.
Hope that helps

protip: u can clean ur carts by removing the tip of the cart on the end that goes into your mouth and drying out that little reservoir underneath. it's a pain to remove but im sure u can figure it out.

Flooded atty, hold the ecig with the battery pointed upward when you vape - less juice flows to the atty and after a few drags it will mostly clear out.
