RM2 flooding?

[degnr8]

I'm still pretty new to Reos, about a month so if this is a newbish question bear with me. Lately I've been having a problem I thought was impossible with the Reomizer. I'm getting major flooding. When I squonk the juice comes up just fine but the excess doesn't suck back down into the bottle. At first I thought I was leaving my wicks too long and blocking off the hole, but even with trimming it down to almost nothing I'm having the same problem. A few minutes ago I took off the top cap and nearly had a flood. What am I doing wrong?

Hey neighbor.
How full are you filling the bottle?

Were is the coil is it close to the ceramic base ? I would keep the coil closer to the base of the atomizer . Leave it high enough that juice can flow underneath the coil. You wont need to put as much juice into the atty this way . I would try another bottle as well .

 

[Krazirob]

it could be bubbling up at the coil preventing the juice from flowing down if that makes sense......sometimes mine does that but a strong drag on it usually clears it up........

The reason I asked how full you are filling the bottle is because I had a similar experience while dabbling with diying juices. I filled the bottle all the way up to the shoulder and the juice in the RM2 would not subside. I changed coils, RM2s, Grands and finally discovered that my juice would not seep back into the bottle with the level that high. Your situation is likely different but .....just my 2 cents worth.

I've been keeping it pretty high to get lots of TH, but had the wicks coming down to touch the ceramic.

I wondered about this one as I do tend to fill it pretty full, but I'm having the same problem on a nearly empty bottle.

Not following you at all here, I've noticed it doesn't seem to happen as often on a new wick though if that has any bearing on it

 

[redeyedancer]

I would start by keeping the coil closer to the base . There are other ways to increase throat hit like a smaller air hole higher nicotine level

 

[redeyedancer]

I would try covering part of the air hole you can use a o ring or a cartomizer condom . Your flooding the atty it can be flooded as you have noticed

this can happen if the tube bottoms out in the bottle, creating a seal. try cutting a V notch in the bottom of the tube. this fixed the problem in one of my Reos.

 

[degnr8]

^^^ Hmm, I have noticed it hits the bottom and it's sporadic. Think I'll start with that.

 

[Justice]

keep the wick just touching or just off the ceramic that way it can't impede the return of the excess juices

I don't have a flooding problem, but wondering do most thread cotton thru the coil? I put the cotton under the coil laying on the ceramic base and fluff it up into the coil. Works well and a breeze to change out.

wow never seen that.....does it vape as good as if it were in the coil?

 

[Joshinthecity]

I saw this somewhere once.
It's called the.. the... the .. um.. cloud wick ? Or something ?

Every now and then I unscrew the bottle, pull it out part way, cover the air hole in the RM2, and blow the excess juice out of the RM2, not sure if cotton particles get in the tube or something, but I've had the same problem, and blowing the juice out fixes it.

The bottle cap. Really, it will make a seal if on too tight and not allow the juice good flow. It will also keep juice from returning to the bottle if it is too loose.

It can be a very simple fix to feeding issues. Sometimes it is the simple things that keep us from optimal performance of our REO's!

I have had to tighten or un-tighten my caps plenty of times. For the same issue as yours also.

Good point! When I first received my copper vein grand it wouldn't feed, until I fiddled with the bottle cap.

 

[yaypudding]

only time this has happened to me was when I over tightened the bottle cap and the o-ring inside buckled up. It would let air in, which compromised the suction flow back down and would leave the juice in the cup.

you could always try a process of elimination.. take the wick out and leave the top off and squonk the bottle and see if when the juice comes up.. it then goes back down..if it does then add your wick and do the same thing. If it doesn't.. the problem isn't with your coil or wick.
