My reo is self-squonking (in a bad way)

[FingerBane]

I usually search these forums and find my answers. This time, probably because of terminology, I have not been able to find much.

I use cartomizers. Lately I have been noticing the juice in my bottom has been going down without me squonking it. I have been seeing more juice in the overflow area and have been having to clean it more often. I have had problems with the o-ring, it came out and I had to put it back in. The feeder tube seems to stay close to the bottom of the bottle, even when I move it up a bit.

Before I jump to any conclusions, I just wanted to check in with the community. There are solutions to the different issues I am having, but I want to know which issue is causing the overflow issue. Don't want to make any drastic changes to my Reo and have the problem not fixed.

Thanks in advance for reading this post and any helpful feedback you can provide.

Are you saying that juice is disappearing from the bottle without having been squonked out? I don't use cartos but is it possible that the carto is somehow allowing juice to drain back down into the drip well causing the juice to be wasted? Is this happening with all cartos you've tried or just one? Are you refering to the oring in the bottle cap or the one that may be used in the drip well? It is ok if the tube reaches the bottom of the bottle. Just cut a slant in the bottom of the feed tube so that it doesn't sit flat on the bottom of the bottle.

You can always put the reducer tube in to check.

Cartos will let the juice drain out and into the drip well if they are full when you set down your REO. Always try to vape enough to get most of the juice out before setting your REO down.

Your tubing needs a trim. Cut a "V" shape and make it a little bit shorter.

Your o-ring should not be popping out. But if you use some of the juices that like to destroy o-rings you will find it will stretch over time. You can try removing it and washing, then letting it dry over night. It might shrink back a little. Or just order some new o-rings.

High temperatures can cause self-feeding. High PG juices are more likely to self-feed. The reducer tube will reduce the flow of juice and might help.

Check the tightness of your bottle cap. Too tight and it restricts the air flow and can cause problems.

Hope some of this helps!

Do consider investing in a Reomiser 2.

Another option would be to try out some 306 atomizers, Ikenvape, avidvaper and empire mods, sell some excellent 306 atomizers that work well with the reo without having to build and tinker with coils. Besides an rba they have been the best vape i have had compared to any tank/cart setup I have tried.

And in some situations (bachelor party in vegas or any situation with copious amounts of alcohol/traveling light) i prefer the 306 due to simplicity and ease of maintenance over a rm2

Well I bought some "LR306 Low Resistance Atomizer 1.8 ohm (Cisco Spec)" from avidvapor. I am use to cartomizers, were you take the rubber top off and put in your drip tip, but this atomizer top does not seem to want to come off. Any advice for me?

On the 306 the whole plastic top comes off. All the way down to the metal ring at the bottom. The drip tip will fit over the atty and not inside the top like the cartos.

Thanks for that. Any ideas on a good 306 drip tip, was reading that the avidvapor ones are not the best?

I use to use the delrin cannon 306 tips. The pyrex are nice, but they vary in size and will not fit all 306's.

When I used 306's all I see were acids clear coloured tips they were the best IMO cheap easy simple and it didn't hurt when I broke them
