Hi!

I know over squonking cause spitting, and I try to be careful, but I struggle. Is that a common problem?

Look for atties that are actually built for squonking the drain well and wick it correctly - no more over squonking

I too am a lefty

SJMY DDP Styled RDA right now. https://www.fasttech.com/p/5811200

The YFTK Citadel Styled and Eleaf Coral v2, spits too. The Augvape BTFC RDA is ok.

Coral is possibly the worst attie ever made, lol

Sorry, I don't have any of those. The closest I have is the Hadaly, which the Citadel is modeled after by the same maker. Authentic ones are made by Psyclone.

When you wick it, the cotton should be snug, but not so thick it you can't pull it through the core without issues. Cut it at an angle on either end, then fluff the tails so they kind of sit under the coil but don't block the squonk hole in the deck

Basically, enough cotton that it wicks up the juice

Thanks! Won't use the Coral anymore then, lol. Thank you for the wicking tips. Looking forward to try! :) Picking up the Hellvape Rebirth today. Hope it will be great!

They sent me the Wotofo Profile instead of the Rebirth :/ Do you think I should keep the Profile in addition to the Rebirth they have to send me?

I think I have nailed it down to squeezing just before taking a hit. The coil is soaked, which causes it. I get the most juicy taste then though, I think.

Just thinking out loud here, but anytime I get spit back it is in my mouth. Do you fire your coils before you start to draw in a hit?

I have gotten juice down my air pipe, but that's seldon, and thank god for that as its terrible. Happens if the coill is super soaked and I inhale with huge force. It's spitting in my eyes that has been my problem.

I like trying to keep my coil wick just at the point it's saturate. That way I know there's juice to heat off but not enough to require more heat to keep up with excess juice. I recall a lesson about shooting with my uncle Bear (grant him peace). He told me "study long you study wrong". I asked him then what was too long. He grinned and replied, "You'll know it if you miss, huh?" I think vaping is somewhat like that for each of us, we have to find our own natural balances and nobody can tell you an absolute because we're all different. Of course, we could convert it to binary & come up with some bizarre arcane algorithm which gave us the absolute "perfect way" but I think that would spoil it all.

Like, "if you could know the future, would you really want to keep living?"
