spit back

[cte72]

Has anyone else been having trouble with spit back. I'm running a sub tank mini 1.2 replacement coil not that matters because I get spit back from no matter what. Anyway at 18, 19 watts. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. I thought about getting some pipe screens and trying that out. I'll post and let you all know how it goes. But would like to hear any suggestions. Sincerely. Cte72

Are you using the new vertical coils or the ones that came with the tank? I have found that if I over fill the tank I get a lot of spitting

No I'm still using the old style. Thanks for the advice

Sometimes I get lot of popping when my wicks are not fully saturated and partially dry.

Try taking a few draws with out firing about 3 or 4 with air flow closed down quite low---------this will bring in a good amount of ejuice

and wet your coil-----and try turning down your wattage slowly and then check again for popping/spitting.

Just a thought...

+1 to @thetrucker Prime it well, and crank down the power in stages, see if that does anything for you.

I've had more spitback with the stock coils in the subtank mini than I do with the RBA deck in it. A few drops never bothered me much, but I third what thetrucker said.

Try the above advice... also, pipe screen with a standard hole puncher makes a perfect sized spitback screen... put it between the bottom of the drip tip and where the tip seats. Works great. Cheap, too.

Now that is an astonishingly brilliant idea. I am highly annoyed I didn't think of it, and you should be aware I just stole it

All's fair in vaping... be my guest!

I hang here a lot in New Members, as I am sure you know. Spitback is a common complaint. And that just got added to my arsenal... Just a thought however, lest the mods take a dim view. We probably ought not to call that a "pipe screen" in favor of "Genesis wick" or something

If you mean the hot spats off the coil, I use a knucklehead driptip, because I always get the hot spats from RDAs. The hot juice shoots straight upward, the vapor comes around the bend -- but the hot spats don't.

Mesh wicking works OK, too. I find it a bit restrictive to airflow, though. Pipe screening is usually a little cheaper, too. You can probably find mesh in the right density, though... I tend to just buy a pack of pipe screen at a local tobacco shop while I'm shopping for cigars and/or pipe tobacco to macerate and extract concentrate from. It's cheap and a pack lasts forever. I tend to replace the piece of screen when I change coils.

Higher ratio of VG will spit less to even none depending on how high you go.

Not possible for a lot of us; I use 85% PG so I can keep breathing.

Good thinking: genny wick is like 300 or 400 mesh; that's too tight.

What does it do to you?

What does it do to you?

Feels like a hairball in my chest that I *cannot* cough up no matter how I try; my asthma goes into double overdrive, with wheezing, breathlessness, waking up from a sound sleep unable to breathe... fun stuff like that. I was at 82%-84% for a long time, but i got all this mucus around my vocal cords, made me permanently hoarse. At 85% it's not too bad, as long as i stay well hydrated.

I had the same issue, mine was caused by a bad replacement coil. It wasn't wicking properly and letting to much ejuice in. Got another coil and didn't have anymore issues with spitting.

Unfortunately, this happens.

sounds like yer flooded. Put a tissue over vent hole, tilt your head back and blow hard. this will clear your atty and it wont spit so much.
