? why 501 attys keep flooding ?

[lisabateman]

I have figured out that I am flooding the attys - I can taste fluid on the battery end and can blow it out. Things get better after I soak in the non-alch mouthwash and let dry. I think this has been a problem for me since the start...I've tried many of the filler mods and finally am using the cart cap plug (no filler) mod (and like the amount of juice better). I use a small x in the center, not a hole. Before the NFM, I was drying out the carts really quick (one session of vaping).

Why am I flooding?

I had this problem with my 808 and just started adding less liquid and havent had the problem anymore.Tilting the cart to the side a little while filling also helps a little. Hope you get your problem sorted out!

Hello, and for me, I would flood an atty and not even know that I am flooding it,,,at least till I take that first draw....I have an Ego and I noticed that I have to change my attys at least once a day...to let dry out...or I just give them a dry burn for a few seconds and blow right into the atty...Don't know if that will help you,,,but, it usually works for me...Again, Welcome...

too much juice. it happens to all of us at times.. Just try with less drops.. blow out from time to time if its flooded.

When it gets flooded, just blow it out (from the side with the treads), and then do a dry burn. Look into the atty and blow. It should turn orange when you blow. Then drop 2 drops on the atty bridge, and you should be good to go. There is a slight learning curve, and once your get it, it becomes really easy.

I wouldn't do dry burns too often, they do shorten the life of an atty. Blowing them out is usually perfectly sufficient when they were just flooded, and usually, hot water is enough for those cases where it is not.
Dry burning should be reserved for when you need to get the remains of a few weeks or months of vaping off, when it barely works any more.

Sometimes less is more. I do two to three drops on a clean filler and two drops on the aty bridge and vape away.

If you're not getting the satisfying vapor, it could be the juice too, the cloud size varies with each different brand.

If you're filling your carts to get more nicotine, try upping your mg content.

good luck friend.

You're doing too much work, Lisa. There's no need to wash out a flooded atty. Blow it out, as other have said, and/or turn it battery connection side up while sitting it on a napkin.
