Squonking and the Reomizer

[synic]

So, I got a reomizer simply because it looked like it was going to be cheaper in the long run. Now I see what all the hoopla is about

I'm still on the coil it came with, but I've wrapped another one for when this one dies. Who knows if I did it right, I guess time will tell.

The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't tell when I've squonked enough or when to squonk unless I take the driptip off and look inside. Basically each of my vaping sessions involves removing the driptip, seeing if the wick is saturated, squonking if it's not, and vaping if it is, and then starting over. I can't do the blind squonk because the draw doesn't change at all, so I really have a hard time vaping in the dark when I'm watching a movie or something.

Has anyone figured out any good solutions to this yet?

Hi synic
Well, the blind squonk doesn't work all that well with the RBAs that have holes on the side. However, if you want to try it, you can always cover the hole with your thumb or finger and see how that works for you. I no longer use the blind squonk technique for the most part. It was easy for me on atties, but not so much with the RBAs.

Another thing you can do it count your vapes. Squeeze the bottle for 2 seconds (counting one one thousand, two one thousand). Then vape. Count how many vapes you get before it starts tasting or feeling dry, then repeat. After a short while it will become almost second nature and you won't have to think about it.

I still blind squonk. But like Lisa said it is more of a "time" thing. I can hear just a little gurgle, but not much. The wicks seem to soak up a lot more juice and don't need squonked as often. I use cotton wicks, that might be different with silica.

I never "look" at mine. I can tell by a drop in vapor usually. Sometimes the taste tells me it needs more juice. Have never got a burned taste, just a little off taste.

Hope this helps some too!

What I found works very well for me with the Reomizer is stuffing a small ball of cotton (actually a piece of my wick yarn, rolled up into a ball about 1/4" around) inside of it next to the coil, opposite side of the airhole.

That ball soaks ups any oversquonked juice and prevents floods. I just press the bottle for a few seconds and let go. Any extra liquid gets sucked back down the drain, and my cotton ball absorbs the rest. Then you're good for about 10 minutes of chain vaping. And if you turn it upside down, nothing leaks out.

I definitely don't blind sqounk on the Reomizer as well... I pretty much just take the drip tip off and look in to see if the wick is saturated. It's not too big of a deal for me anyways... I was FINALLY able to take off the top cap that people were talking about before and it is so much easier to see inside! Now I know for sure if my wick is wet or not and I can control the sqounking. I use cotton wicks as well and I have ran into drying out = burnt taste... I noticed once I do that the wick is pretty much done because the taste changes, I either don't get a nice full flavor or it keeps tasting burnt. I've done that now twice but I just take out the wick and slap in a new one easy peasy! I also recently boiled my cotton and it has been amazing! That cotton taste was REALLY bothering me and it hurt my throat too much =(

I think the best way to sqounk is to do what Rhapsodies mentioned with the 2 second count. The juice has to come up high enough to soak the wick.

It's all about the Flavor flave my friends and making a good wick/coil combo, if flavor drops = Squank = my technique

I think I'm getting the hang of it. The reomizer holds a lot more juice than a regular atomizer - I find I can get quite a few hits before it needs re-squonking. And if I leave it alone for a while, it doesn't hurt to just squeeze the bottle for a few seconds - it doesn't seem to overfill it or anything. Most of the juice just goes back in the bottle.

Thanks for all of your suggestions
