New, off cigs one week, tank floods-Ugh!!!

[Beoux]

Hey there. I am using a clear DCT tank on an ego-t battery. At first the cart seems to dry up (I did pre-fill the cart) and I have to pull up some juice by a little drag with no battery power, then it works for a few drags, then it floods and stays flooded. I end up with juice all in my mouth due to the it popping out into my mouth. It has a 1.5ohm dual coil cartomizer, two holes, and I'm using 70PG/30VG. Can anyone help me out with some suggestions?
Thanks.

Take out the carto together with tank and blow through the mouthpiece to a tissue several times.

I've learn when using carto with tank, on top of the carto looks dry, but no worries as the hole at the bottom will feed the carto nicely..

Punch another hole in it or make the single hole bigger. The brief time I used my DCT tank this was my biggest issue with it other than the dual coil draining my battery pretty quickly. There are many videos on youtube on how others punch holes in them. I took a hammer, a nail and put the carto on top of my shoe (without my foot in it) between the laces so it wouldn't roll and made that single hole a little bigger. As long as you lightly tap it doesn't mishape the carto.

First fill of a cartomizer is very important whether you're using it alone or with a tank. Key in the vid below is when pushing carto down into condom of juice do it VERY SLOWLY

Could just be a bad carto, this has happened to me before! The 1.5ohm dual coil on your ego battery should work fine! I would try another carto and see what happens.

Also, was this a fresh carto, or one you have been using for awhile? This information may help others when replying.

If it is a DCT specific carto he can't fill that way due to the flange on the bottom.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

You're right. In that case he should condom fill from the mouth end and NOT the batt end. Thanks for that reminder.

How awful does that sound LOL Can you fill a carto that way? I've never heard that one before but I'm still a vaping newb LOL

Thanks for all of the replies.
It is a new cart.
I was thinking that since it is a dual coil that having the cartomizer full would be important. Not true?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Oh Gawd I never noticed...you are like a hawk never missing a beat LOL. Yes it does work as I've tried every method under the Sun in regards to filling and cleaning cartos. Thanks for the laughs

I'm still a vaping newb LOL

Not quite as I've read some of your posts and you give good honest information and I'm impressed. Not to mention those Hawk- eyes you've got

Thanks Vapoor. It isn't hawk eyes lol its a mind in a gutter and a very sick sense of humor!

Before the cartomizer goes into the tank it must be first filled/ completely saturated otherwise dry burns/ loss of flavor will occur. When I used a carto and tank I pre punched 1 hole 2.5 mm wide. I vape 60/ 40 PG/ VG.

This is my experience using carto's. If you are using 70/30 or 50/50 a single hole should be sufficient. I use the standard single hole if i'm using dct or i punch a small hole if using a boge and it work perfectly find till i hit 5.2volts (only dct) on the provari. If i make the hole bigger the chances of flooding is high, also sometime the carto itself has issue. I'm a patient guy , i dont use the condom method as i'm using i drip from the top and wait and of course using a syringe is much faster. After asking advise with everyone around here when using 100% im using about 3 holes now and it's working.

My 2 cent

 

[Beoux]

so, a bigger hole will keep it from flooding by letting the juice drain back into the tank more freely?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

As long as you first fill properly it should work BUT if flooding is still a problem break off a toothpick in one hole to plug it.

[Beoux]

ok. One less hole. Can I plug the hole? Or should I just save the cart for a different liquid besides the 70/30.

 

[Beoux]

I see. Thanks a bunch. I'll give the toothpick a try

if you getting the dct triple hole the toothpick will work.
