Triple hole cartomizers flooding?

[logos]

I'm pretty sure it's the 3 holes that is causing some of my flooding. I noticed it always flooded on my drive home, I decided that using it in quick succession heats up the liquid and lets it flow a lot faster?

So, I have taken tooth picks, jammed them in 2/3 holes and broken them off, if pushed in enough they will jam and still be able to go past the rubber seal with out a problem on a tank.

Does this seem wise? Maybe I have do some dry drags if it starts to hit light, but I'd rather that than suck up juice every 5 puffs on the way home...

Any comments / suggestions / ideas?

I use them and never have a problem but my juice is like 70 pg 30 vg. What mix are you using? If the tooth pick thing works just stick with that tho. Sometimes when we start vaping we find our inner engineer LOL

Oh and thanks for posting the great idea. I know it will probably help lots of people who have flooding troubles. Let us know how it comes out

Sad as it is, I've had problems with both the 3-hole variety and the (lately uncommon) 1-hole (MadVapes carries both versions), and I also run into it mostly when chain-vaping. Thicker juice does seem to help, but I generally vape 50/50, and I've managed to flood single-hole cartos with 100% vg, so there are other things going on as well. I suspect heat thinning (yes, I just made that up), as the worst offender (for me) is a skinny Smoktech tank with chrome caps that get REALLY warm when I vape heavy. I've gone to strictly thicker (larger diameter) tanks with plastic caps, which seem to heat up - and flood - less. Also, taking the carto off the pv and running a straightened paperclip through it sometimes helps to "reseat" the filler against the inside of the carto, which helps me in some cases.

I'm flying blind here too; hopefully some more experienced tank users will chime in -

I use 70/30 most of the time and i noticed that all the juices i use flood the 3 hole ones.
So i went back to the one hole ones.. then i discovered the single hole single coil LR ones they sell
and have stayed.

i only make 3 holes if i vape pure vg

I have a few triple hole tank cartos (1.7 ohm) that have worked great with 60/40, 50/50 and 40/60 ratios on a KGO. The single hole cartos (3 ohm) that I use have not been a problem either at those ratios, but do use them at higher voltages obviously. I would also note that I do vape fairly heavily while using a tank setup. I have yet to have had any flooding, whether single or 3 holes, unless I am away from my liquid and the tank gets too low.

Had bad experience with 3-hole cartos, too. They flooded on me all the time. I went back to one-hole onces, most of the time I will punch a second hole myself. 2 holes work just fine for me, one hole is sometimes not enough depending on the VG content of my juices. Myfreedomsmokes also offers 2.5 ohm cartos dual coil cartos with 2 prepunched holes. I have several of them and they work great, I just ordered some more yesterday. Here's the link if you're interested:

The 1.5's have 1 hole, the 2.5's are with 2 holes.

Thanks so much for the "reseat the Filler tip" it has saved so many cartos for me
