What is a spill?

[3.5geek]

Hi guys, been posting for a few days on here and it is just a god send lol.

I started vaping yesterday and everything has been good except earlier today I took a draw on itaste and I got a small mouthful of liquid. We're it not for being cherry flavor I might have thrown up lol.

Is this what people mean when they complain about leaks? How do I stop it? I have iclear 16s in if this helps.

I had it is my suit pen pocket with the mouthpiece facing directly up all day.


Thanks in advance

You have to be careful about what flavors you put in plastic clearos. There is a possibility that the tank has developed a crack in the plastic that is messing with the vacuum that should be holding the liquid in place - thus the mouthful of liquid. Some cherry flavors are known to be tank crackers: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/219179-lets-make-list-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-40.html

No. The tank is just flooded. Open it up and blow it out onto a napkin or something. If it's really bad, disassemble and wash the tank.

Are there any tanks that you would recommend to actually make this happen less frequently? Nothing shockingly expensive, but if I'm going to upgrade it may as well be reasonably good

They all flood at least a little from time to time but some more than others. I find that the Protank Mini IIs do it less than the Evods in the smaller size class. Larger tanks I'd say the Nautilus does it the least but still flood a little when juice level low, the Protank 3 is pretty good but can flood a little as well.

I try to fire my PV and just let it cook for a few seconds to see if it will vape off the extra liquid, often works with minor flooding. If that doesn't work I take the drip tip off and stand th tank on it's head to let it drain out whatever is in tube and that often works. Last resort you stant is on its head again, unscrew the base, unscrew the coil head, dry out the chamber the head screws into, wipe off the coil head, blow any excess juice out of head if possible, and reassemble.

Sounds like a lot but it isn't, only takes a few seconds when needed.

Nautilus has been mentioned a few times in the threads that I've looked at, I'll have a look at prices

You may have not been tasting juice but rather just some condensation. The vapor will condense when cool same as any water vapor. Blowing it out into a tissue to clear the airway will help if this is the cause....

If you just buy a Pyrex Carto Tank w metal end pieces and start using Cartomizers you will save yourself a lot of time, money and you will definitely have a better vape.
Something like this :

The shorter one is what I'd recommend, depending on how much you vape /day. With this setup, you just buy Cartomizers, they are the disposable part, like two bucks each. They never leak no matter what. ::Vapor::

What are these called?

Over time, the iClear 16's mouthpiece will collect juice & condensation..


Every now & then, just unscrew the mouthpiece & let the liquid drip back down into the clearo


Sometimes you might also have to wipe off the mouthpiece (where it screws in) with a paper towel, and clean it out with a q-tip...

I never used a carto tank, but I did use Boge XL cartos for a while and I found them to have a near 50% DOA rate. Some of them were clogged straight out of the box, some wouldn't fire, and some would pour juice out as fast as you could put it in.

did you use an elevator during the day?? more than 12 floors? that will cause flooding too

 

[3.5geek]

Nope. Was just sat in my pocket all say. Pretty sure it wasn't condensation as it was all oily and i had a spill whilst filling a different clearo last night, so reasonably familiar with the flavor lol
