Warmer weather and squonking for recent REO hall of fame inductees

[super_X_drifter]

Just a little note to self and the folks that joined us over the cold winter months, as the weather warms and humidity increases you will notice that squonked juices flow faster into the atomizer.

It's a great thing - just beware that a squonk when it's 80 degrees in the sun and your REO is nice and warm is much more efficient than a 35 degree squonk . It may catch ya by surprise (not a great thing).

As it warms to typical southeastern US temps the squonkin gets even easier

I know many of you still got a minute before your gonna get this warm

Been waiting for that moment where my mod is covered in juice for this very reason. Still got a couple months to go but I guarantee it'll happen

 

[ckquatt]

Yep! It's already caught me once this week! Damn Georgia weather! Had a CLS covered Odin after a good squonk yesterday!

Watch out people! Carry some Vaper Towels with you in your pocket!

 

[SoftSell]

Oh man. It's finally above zero up here. Another month at least before the juice flows

Here in Florida, it was close to 90 yesterday, and will be again today. My 50/50 juice is flowing like water.

Hell yeah brother!! It was 82 degrees yesterday, not a cloud in the sky, warm and sunny. Birds chirping, bees buzzing and the smell of love and sweet crisp vapor clouds in the air all made from Reos! Loving this warm beautiful southern Georgia weather.

Hmmmm... sounds a lot like the same traits as my lady!
CT has been brutal.

If you leave your REO in your car for a little run shopping it does not take much heat outside and sunshine for the REO to self-feed juice.

I learned that quickly when I visited Florida! I would come back to a REO that was almost gushing juice!

Using my 100% VG I still notice the higher temps effecting the flow of juice. Not too much inside with stable temps, but on trips out.

Yep, squonking gets easier, 75 yesterday in Chicago, back to normal, 45 today.

Climate controlled reos

Been kind of cold, we're only running in the mid 80's. But it won't be all that long and we'll be pushing 120 in the shade. Ought to get interesting, especially with my new Lancia atty's. At least I can see what they are doing via the clear glass tubes.

Whats the cure for self feeding, from heat expansion?
Maybe don't fill the bottle all the way?
Supposed to be 86 today.

I've never had self feed issues. But I run nearly 100% VG. But your suggestion sounds solid. I always fill my bottles to about 1/8" below the top of the fat part of the bottle unless I get careless / distracted

A couple things I do seem to help.
I only put 4 to 4 1/2 ml in my bottles when I fill. That's about what I get on a battery. So, when I fill, I change batteries at the same time.
Also, don't squonk and then set the Reo down, without taking a couple vapes first; especially if it's hot out.

Exactly haha, I noticed when it's winter and 40 degrees, the 100% vg needs a hard squonk for 3-4 seconds
Now that today is like 85 outside in Alabama, a gentle 1-2 second squonk is all I need.

I make sure the bottle cap is on a little looser. It will let the air exchange a little better. Filling partially will also help.

It never gets above 85 low humidity here I don't remember ever having self feeding last summer

 

[ed101z]

4 weeks ago, we had lots of snow and ice. Now, it's beautiful and sunny. Spring on the way; Summer right behind. Juice definitely flows much better in warm weather than cold.

I got into the grocery store today, and had eliquid all over my right hand from over squonking.

Hi Spy,
Those are not bottom feeders are they
I would love to be able to see what my squonking is doing, without having to take the drip tip off every couple of puffs.
