[Juan_G]

Sorry to hear bud.. i have a holiday place in Uvongo, next time im down i can meet up with you and show you what i do. You bring the beers.. i live in Durban if you down this way, i will gladly help you out. If all fails... 4 juggerknots is not enough, so will gladly take it off your hands

That would be very helpfull thank you for offering! Will bring enough beer, in case I'm a slow learner!! Don't really go to Durban much but will keep it in mind.

4 Juggerknots???? So between you and @Rafique are the reason why no one has stock anymore lol!

Blame @Gringo for no stock.
But as u can see there are many happy jkm owners. Maybe just play around with it abit more

Thought I was busy rewicking my gear rta, turns out it was the jkm deck, damn you WWE lol!

So far so good, it actually works good with the flat Haywire. Did some super slow motion filling while tilting the tank and mod (felt like I was busy with a Matrix scene). Leaving it over night with 1/4 tank juice to see what happens.

Thank you for everyone's support!

Sooo, it would seem that I'm the only one thats not getting any joy from the Jugger. Yes I found that my coils are crap, will be trying Haywire flat wire till I can get new coils BUT, after rewicking it about 10 different ways the deck keeps flooding and I get a mouth FULL of juice.

What am I doing wrong??? Its really frustrating and I'm on the verge of selling it as I'm having no issues with the Zeus X, so far.

Definitely go slowly when filling. Squeeze in a small amount of juice, then wait for the juice level to rise in the tank. Repeat. Never try to completely fill it! For me, that always ends in flooding the deck. When you notice the juice level doesn’t seem to be rising anymore, stop, push the ring down over the fill port and take a puff. Then look at where the level of juice is after that. I find it often turns out that the tank is then suddenly pretty full up.

@Carnival does it spitback pretty bad if the deck starts flooding?

No there wasn't any spit back, its more like I was sucking the juice through a straw and into my mouth.

EDIT: To my surprise the deck was not flooded this morning and it's still vaping normal. Will see again this afternoon when I get home.

Yep, same for me when that happened. Yuck!

More like a completely unpleasant mouthful of vape juice. Lol.

 

[Ruwaid]

luckily never had that YET...even tho every time I wick this thing in was in a hurry but it still just bangs with flavour.
nice to know abt the filling method tho
Only downfall about this tank

 

[Juan_G]

Yes the filling is not ideal. Did not check the tank today but yesterday when I got home my Zeus x was flooded.... Have not had one flooded deck in 6 months and all of a sudden they are all starting to do it. Almost want to blame TFC cotton as I have only had it for a week now and used Firebolt previously.

Edit: 2 days later and the Jugger is still not flooded, will be leaving it with a bit more juice over night and check in the morning.

The Zeus x is now drying after a wash and I will be rewicking again with TFC and also apply the slow filling juice fill. Maybe thats the trick to all tanks, just Matrix style (slooow motion) fill them.

 

[Juan_G]

The good news is the Jugger is still not flooded so I must have done something right!

Rewicked the Zeus x again last night and it was almost immediately flooded. Made some new coils today and rewicked AGAIN. Will have to see if it floods or not.

It's not even frustrating anymore, it's now more like challenge to get it just right. I know this thread is for the Juggerknot, maybe we should start another for the Zeus x, if anyone is interested?

Tagged you on a thread showing the wicking of the Zeus x @Juan_G

Regarding flooding, what I like to do is unscrew my RTA’s off the Mods and stand the RTA upside down on its drip tip over night when not being used.

I don’t actually do this to prevent flooding as I don’t have flooding issues with the Juggerknot, for me it more about saving the wick from being constantly saturated when not in use. This over saturation to me is what adds to flooding and also reduces the wicks longevity. Added bonus is the flavour stays on point for longer.

Finally managed to get my hands on one , thanks @Derek Van Zyl .....

Forgot how damn good the flavour is off this RTA , and it's top airflow so no more leaky business with these bottom airflow RTAs ;P

Now to hunt for a gunmetal version

 

[Asterix]

First tank done. Lovely flavour but getting a lot of popping. Using 3x29/38 alien @ 0.46ohms. Tried wattage's between 30-43. Cotton too thin in the coil perhaps? Suggestions?

Yes , wick needs to be quite tight on most fancy coils (over tight is also fine if you need to hold the coil in place thats fine as well just make sure to thin out the wick ends quite a bit almost a third to half) , otherwise make sure the coil is glowing evenly with no micro hot spots.
Found especially with Aliens , you need to make sure no hot spots exists otherwise you will get popping (little juice pockets popping due to boiling inside the wraps). Tip that I use , before wicking drop a few drops of liquid on the coil give it a good ramp up about 3-5 secs and see if you get any major popping (or those shooting vapor trails you get sometimes). Just my 2c from building on fancy coils

Thanks @Daniel. Re-wicked and sorted.

heard the black version seems to flood. not sure what color you have

Huh? What's the colour got to with it? I have the black version and no flooding it's all about how you wick and fill......

 

[Grand Guru]

I have a black one. No flooding, leaking or dry hits. A pleasure to wick and to vape!

 

[Hakhan]

black zeus X that's prone to flooding.
had a black sm25 ages ago that had similar problems and only buy SS rta from then on.

 

[ARYANTO]

Sir , you heard wrong...

 

[Juan_G]

I have a black Jugger. It's not flooding anymore, I just had to get the wicking right. Don't think it's colour related though, seems to be all in the way you wick it.
