What is Spitback and How to Avoid it From Dave Kriegel?

[VOOPOO]

Spitback or spitting, is the name for the occasional super-hot droplets of e-liquid that shoot in your mouth while you're vaping. If you watch an RDA coil firing, you can sometimes see it happening, usually accompanied by popping sounds.

Spitback has a simple cause: e-liquid gets pooled up on the coil itself and gets 'cooked' instead of being vaporized. The problem is closely linked to flooded coils, but, in some cases, it can happen even without flooding. Here are some ways to prevent spitting and popping from occurring.

Then how to prevent spitback:

1. Don't over-prime your coil – "Priming" your coil is the process of manually dripping e-juice onto the wicks before you first use it. If you put too much e-juice in the chamber, you can easily cause spitback. Don't overdo it.
2. Reduce your airflow – Inhale more softly, letting the coil and wicking do the work for you. If you're still having issues, try reducing your airflow setting. However, if you reduce the airflow, be careful not to inhale too strongly to compensate – this could just make the issue worse.
3. Use thicker e-juice – PG is thinner in consistency than VG. This means that high-PG e-juices are more likely to flood an atomizer than high-VG ones. If you're having spitback issues, changing to a high-VG e-juice can solve the problem by slowing down your wicking.
4. Turn up the power – If your wattage is too low, you might not be vaporizing e-liquid as quickly as your wick is supplying it. Try going up by 5-10 watts if you're using a variable wattage mod.
5. Clean the chimney – Although flooding is the most common cause of spitback, the problem can also be made worse by e-juice collecting in the chimney which eventually makes its way back down to your coil. This can be fixed easily: get some rolled up tissue paper, remove your drip tip and insert it down into the chimney of your tank. This soaks up the excess e-liquid reducing the chance of spitting.

I've experienced spitback from time to time, but only with the EGO AIO ECO, which I use for nic salts.
