Picked up a Cloupor T8 a week ago, loving it. So far I have starting building myself on a russian RBA and this morning bought a tugboat rda. The rda is awesome, 24awg dual coil at .45 ohms. Hitting it at 70w produces a great hit and nice cloud (although not a must, it is cool).

On the russian i have a 24awg single coil, 11 wraps and .85 ohms. Hitting it at 20-23w. Working great but always have issues when refilling. I refill from bottom, loosen top cap to reset pressure, then let it sit for 10-15 min. Always floods, i realize I'm forcing juice into coil chamber when tighting cap. Is there any way to get them primed wihout flooding?

Also wanted to thank all ECF'ers that helped me out so far.

After refilling, "pressure differential" RTAs can be "primed" by covering the AFC fresh air inlet and taking a few firm draws. This does two things... it reestablishes negative pressure (vacuum) in the liquid tank and uses 100% of your draw vacuum to pull juice into the vaporization chamber.

You'll have to experiment with your particular atomizer to determine the length and pressure of your draw that best suits it... to insure sufficient liquid has been drawn to the chamber, without flooding it. I find with the juices I use in a genuine Kebo/UTC R91%, only 1-2 medium draws are needed.

Are you using the standard tank / M-tank or a Quartz kit? When I used a standard or M tank I used a syringe to fill with no problems or leaking (I would never loosen the top cap). I use Quartz kits now and I'm not able to use a syringe to fill (tank end caps block the needle and juice backs out). My trick to fill these is to cover the drip tip with a finger (block air flow) and use bottles or droppers that make a good seal with the KFL-R91 fill hole and then fill slowly.
