squape clone... flooding problems

[Omzilla86]

Anybody with experience with the squape? Fantastic vape when its not flooding... I'm assuming I'm wicking it wrong. I have a 28 guage microcoil build on it with cotton. The wicks are tucked into the channels and I have them cut at the top of the base. Should I be running the wicks down to the bottom of the base in the channels like you would say the aqua? Any advice is appreciated...

With a sQuape... which is a pressure differential atomizer, using the wick as a slow leaking, two-way seal... you may need to futz around with cotton density and roll diameter to get a good balance of adequate juice feed to prevent burning, and sufficient seal to prevent flooding.

I've been using my Squape clone more recently and I have not experienced an issue with flooding. My problem has been dry hits, which I seem to have solved, and that is by not extended the wick past the top of the base. I cut them just short of the downward channels, and so far it's been pretty good.

I build a 5/64" coil which seems to make the wick just about the right size for the channels and then wet the cotton and gently tuck the tails in the channels.

It's possible you could have a leaking seal in the tank that may be causing it to flood, so make sure the chimney sections is tight. There is an o-ring seal at the top of it.

Hmm... My microcoil is 2 mm which is roughly the same as your build with the same cotton length. Is your cotton tight in the channel or snug? And was your clone the ehpro version? Thanks again for feedback

Mine is the Fasttech version with the plastic window. I would say the cotton is pretty light and gently tucked in, not overstuffed.

I should also mention that I've drilled it out. It now has two 1/16th holes in the 510, and the center air hole drilled to 5/64"

Hmm I guess larger air holes would make less juice flow on draw, resulting in possible dry hits, so maybe with the stock air holes I'll try putting them all the way down the channels and see how that works. Thanks for the input
