Problem using DCT's with 40% PG/60% VG

[Revealed]

My wife used to smoke light cigarettes so we ordered e-liquids with a 40%PG/60%VG mix (since PG is what produces the throat hit and VG produces more vapor). We just received some Dual Coil tanks for use and I filled up a DCT for her to use at work. On her drive to work, the DCT vaped fine. Then she went into a store for about ten minutes, leaving the DCT in the car standing straight up. When she got back into her car, she found that most of the e-liquid was gone, but didn't leak anywhere. So I'm assuming that most of the e-liquid went into through the punched hole and flooded the cartomizer. When she tried using it again, it didn't work at all.

My question is, is the 40%PG/60%VG mix too thick to use with a DCT? I've been using the DCT with 80%PG/20%VG just fine and love it. Or could it be a defect in the DCT/punched carto?

Maybe you are talking about an auto model? In that case the liquid could leak down into the battery and kill it.

Are you punching one small hole in the DCC? I have found that if the hole is slotted or punched to be too big, the carto will flood and leak in a tank. I use 1 smallish or two small holes. Slotting never works for me with the DCC.
I use a 50/50 blend with no problem if the hole size is right.

Good luck to you.
