Not in Colorado yet!
I'm guessing you have your airflow pretty restricted with all that condensation. You could try purging the atty every once in a while. Not sure it will help, but you could try. Just blow instead of inhaling a little before you take a hit to see if it doesn't help.

I've never had this problem, so maybe someone who has can help.

Sounds like a condensation problem. IDK if it's related to your build/airflow settings/wattage or whatnot, it's possible.

It's probably going to be easier to purge it by blowing through the airholes and with a paper towel or something to catch the condensation. Are you getting gurgling?

I do think a bit more information may be helpful, etc.

The only time I have a problem with my rda (Drop) is when I put too much juice in, then I tend to drink juice opposed to vaping it, or sometimes when I put the fluid in, instead of dripping the fluid into the centre of the drip tip onto the coils, I’ll miss and drip it onto the Drip tip and then will naturally run down the inside of the rda and out of the vent holes. Try and use just a couple of drops for the time and see if that helps, and if it does, gradually build up until you find a happy limit. I have a little bottle now that has a pump type arrangement that puts just the right amount of juice in, I find that helps.

if your cottons haven't been stroked by a pair of tweezers and feathered out, it could be slightly too dense to absorb cotton too fast. Try setting it on a table upright and when you don't smoke with it put it back vertically upright every time and see how long it takes to do it again?

if it still builds up, you may have an airflow problem, if not it could be a wicking problem!

Sounds like squonking to me! :) You sure that is allowed in S.A.? :D
It’s called “Upside down Squonking”, Squonk from the top, not the bottom, not widely seen in KSA, in fact I’ve never seen a Squonking Mod out here, and even if I had seen one in the shop, it could stay there as you could not be sure of it’s authenticity. The Vape shops here are not dedicated Vape shops, but like you go in to buy a Squonk Mod,
“Sorry Sir, I don’t have one them Squonky things, but would you like to buy this genuine Rolecks watch” only £30, best price”
So I have 3 Squonking mods on order for when I get back home on my holidays.

Sorry Myk, how can that be considered normal? £30 for a genuine Rolecks watch, when you can go next door to the butcher and buy one for £15!

I've seen plenty of those when I worked in a retail jewelry store. That's pretty normal too. Some of those genuine fakes are actually pretty good watches, others are barely watches.

But I was referring to the condensation and spit and sputter from the coil collecting on the cap and eventually running out of the air holes. Immortalizer was the best one I had for not running out, sort of the top flow of its day.

Ah I see, wrong end of the stick, but yep, some of the knock offs are not that bad, as long as you know you’re getting what you pay for.
Back to the rda, I practised what I preached last night and deliberately poured fluid down the Drip Tip, and it seeped out of the vent holes. I don’t have the Dead Rabbit, but my guess is you would/could get the same issue.

Forrest Gump would have said, "condensation, it happens". I have a dead rabbit and need to clean out the cap fairly often. I dont get spitback or leakage through the air slots though, but condensation happens. The rdta im using right now does the same thing. Keep a paper towel handy. No biggie.

I was wondering if the top cap to my rda is suppossed to get so wet everytime i take the cap off its dripping all over and if i dont take it off a few times a day to dry it off it starts running down the side and out my air holes the rda is a dead rabbit
This is normal, I just keep a small stack of cloths (old clean cotton T shirts cut ~1"x 2.5") and use these to clean out the condensate every time I open my deep well RDA's to add more juice. When one cloth gets loaded up, I toss it and use the next clean cloth. I also give my RDA('s) a wipe prior to vaping the next day (the condensate will puddle overnight). Keeping the condensate out of the top cap keeps/insures my RDA's from leaking threw the air holes and any seals. These little cloths come in handy for a number of other uses too.

Thx for all the help i got the dead rabbit to stop doing it i put the coils down almost touching the deck and pulled them out almost touching the sidewall and that seem to work now every once in a while if i put to much juice in it pops and spits it in my face so i lean real quick not to over drip but it still doing it on my wormhole rda i have been trying to play around with it to get it to stop no luck yet but the flavor off that thing is so good im gonna keep trying till i figure it out
