How To Fix A Flooded TankIf you’re an advanced vaper, you’ve surely run into a flooded e-cig tank or atomizer. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence for many users of drip atomizers or tanks, especially when they’re first getting used to the dripping method - a much more complex way to vape, commonly used to produce big, flavorful lung hits. While a flooded tank seems like a devastating blow to your atomizer or tanks, have no fear, this mess is easily cleaned. Below we’ve outlined all the steps to fix a gurgling, flooded tank, along with various reasons flooding happens, to take better precaution moving forward. How Flooding Happens![]() Damaged Or Loose O-RingIn cartomizers, atomizers and tanks, coil and base o-rings seal the components and provide an airtight tank for vapor to pass through. Occasionally, o-rings can break or get too loose, causing tanks to flood. This can happen when o-rings are compressed too tightly or jolted loose from contact. Hit Too HardIf you’re pulling normally and getting less vapor than expected, don’t hit the vape harder. Instead, make sure your tank isn’t flooded. Wicks from the coil absorb eLiquid from the e-cig’s tank and when users hit the device too hard, their suction creates a vacuum that can pull more eLiquid than needed and in turn, flood the tank. Messy Fill-UpWhen filling your tank or atomizer, the key thing to avoid is getting eliquid into the center air passage of the tank. When users’ take a draw, air flows through that passage and if the air passage is filled with eLiquid, users will end up with a mouth full of eLiquid. Overfilled TankFor most bottom coil atomizers, tanks and cartomizers, overfilling isn’t a huge problem. However, many top coil tanks with long wicks can easily become oversaturated. When that happens, juice can easily spill into the passage and flood the tank. Temperature ChangesSince warm temperatures thin out eLiquids and cool temperatures make them thicker, flooding can occur when your eLiquid has become too thin and cannot stick to the wick. To avoid flooding, make sure to keep your liquid stored in rooms with consistent, evenly-distributed temperatures. How To Fix A Flooded TankEven with a clear understanding of why tanks get flooded, the fact is, they still get flooded. If your tank or atomizer accidently gets filled with eLiquid, the following steps outline exactly how to clean a flooded e-cig tank. ![]() Clear The Flooded Tank
