Thin out them tails, you can get away with a tighter wick in the coil, but if the tails are too thick there goes your flavour. Also, the wicking must not be so tight that you cannot still move the cotton without deforming the coil. The OBS is a very forgiving RTA when it comes to wicking. Good luck, hope you find your sweet spot. Many happy clouds to youSpit back - reduced by 90%
Flavour - reduced by 90 % too !!
Less memories ... and more nightmares for meMan, this thread brings back memories.
@TheV , maybe we should do that podcast after all.
I did that rabbit ear wicking for it. Was not able to move the wick without holding it with a pair of ceramic tweezers. The tank will be empty after a few puffs. Will re-wick it. Spit back has started again. Will try to lower the coil even more.Thin out them tails, you can get away with a tighter wick in the coil, but if the tails are too thick there goes your flavour.

If we do go the podcast route I'd first have to get one of these tanks and figure out how to wick it so that it does that wonderful gurgle-dryhit combo. Should get it right on the first attempt

Well yknow, I felt like living dangerously tonight. So I put on my Batman suit and everything, and built on my OBS Engine Nano for the first time in literally a year. No dry hits, no flooding, plenty of flavour. Crackling like a pan full of bacon, but suspect it's because my coil is sitting too low on the deck. Anyway, that's probably literally my first success story on the Nano. Just in time for a big juice vapemail coming in tomorrow, too.Less memories ... and more nightmares for me

Here is a nice pic of what I described above, not mine but same as my builds on the OBS.I seriously can not figure out how you managed this. I can however relate to not getting the results others speak about. My Serpent Mini leaked like a colander and dry hit like a sandstorm all on the same build. Kind of the same thing you got from the OBS. My OBS seems to forgive all my errors however.
On the Nano I align the top of my coils with the top of the posts, seems to give the best flavor this way. Spit-back is the result of over saturation or to much juice on the coil. Same principle as dripping water on very hot oil applies where super heated vapor bursts through a covering layer of cool juice. Tends to be more prevalent when using low gauge Clapton type wires (26AWG covered by 32AWG) where significant amounts of juice gets trapped in the spaces between wingdings and burst to freedom under pressure.
You can try a slower ramp-up or high gauge Clapton's in the region of a 26 or 28AWG covered by something like a 38AWG or 40AWG where less juice gets trapped. Also, you may want to restrict wicking speed by not thinning out wick ends on a 3mm ID coil with tight but comfortable fitting wick. Those wicking ports are rather large and filling them up with wick (but not plugging them but leaving a small space for air bubbles to get through) will also help reduce over saturation.
Slower ramp up will also provide more even heating of juice resulting in even evaporation with no vapor being trapped under a layer of cold juice. Let me not even start on wicking material. For me cheap and nasty works best. Plain cheap as chips untreated organic cotton from a ziplock baggy has never let me down. Despite having packs of "miracle" wick of all sorts and price floating around I have yet to find one that outshines the simple stuff.
But, when all is said and done, in vaping there is no one size fits all and each of us has his own likes and preferences. Trick is to experiment and find what works for you and the gear you are using.
Hope this is of some help.

What wattage are you vaping at and what is the resistance of the coils? That looks like some serious spitting you are having.Tried the above, for some reason the spit-back is back. Even without the chimney, the juice is popping.

I have never had it spit like that ever. And I've done some stupid k*k with mine. It has by far been the most forgiving tank I have.Tried the above, for some reason the spit-back is back. Even without the chimney, the juice is popping.

It was a twisted clapton at 0.5 ohmsWhat wattage are you vaping at and what is the resistance of the coils? That looks like some serious spitting you are having.
whatsIt was a twisted clapton at 0.5 ohms
Lol, yes it was a demon killer wire. Threw away that coil. Running a Clapton now, 0.5 resistance at 85 watts. Took ur advise and lowered the coil.were you in cape town come make a turn by me will give you better wire to make coils
looks like that demen killer wire they make the spit back
Running 85 watts flat no curves or any additional settingswhats
thin your wick out more fore the popping to go away.Lol, yes it was a demon killer wire. Threw away that coil. Running a Clapton now, 0.5 resistance at 85 watts. Took ur advise and lowered the coil.
Can hear it popping inside the tank, but not like the previous coil. It's not spitting the juices out anymore. I guess problem solved !!!
Thin the wicks on the end or use less wick altogether ??thin your wick out more fore the popping to go away.
ends try get it half to whats in the coilsThin the wicks on the end or use less wick altogether ??
