What makes an atty flood?

[TWalker]

Obviously excess juice. But what modification could be made that would make it less likely?

Is the coil saturated? The battery connect?

What are your suggestions that could help me make say a stock 510 not flood? And or leak?

Thanks

There's really nothing you can do to keep an atty from flooding, except not to fill the cart up too much or drip too much juice on the atty. Atty flooding is only possible when you do these things. I've never had an atty flood with a pre-filled cart.

make sure your battery is fully charged. dont over fill your cart. these are the 2 things that will affect flooding the atty. try less juice in your cart and dont drip or if you do drip dont use the cart filler..

Let me be clearer. This is the atty mod sub-forum. I am looking to build a mod which may be prone to flooding.

Lets say I am building a new atty from scratch or opening a stock 510 and looking to improve its resistance to flooding. I'm looking for technical improvements.

Lets take the CarlosJB for example: I believe it is less likely to flood according to reports I've read.

Why do you think this is? What exactly happens when an atty floods? Electrical shorts? Electrical blockage? Is the coil absolutely encased and cannot heat up? The latter seems to be the most likely.

Id so would expanding the coil or changing its shape make it less likely to flood? Would ventilating the coils cup allowing drainage and decrease flooding.

Don't say there is nothing one can do about. Thats why the mod forums exist to solve existing problems.

Good luck, then.

Uh, vapor gnomes, duh.

Hope I didn't come across wrong, I am just in the process of making an autofeed juicer and am troubleshooting potential flooding problems.

Thanks for the response.

I mean no disrespect, TWalker, but from the questions you ask I wouldn't trust you to replace the battery - never mind design/build a new device.

Any normal developer would answer these questions for themselves by simply having a play with the devices they're trying to improve upon.
