Squape Clone Flooding

[Dunny]

I'm having a few issues with my Squape flooding. I rebuild it and it works fine for about half to 2 thirds of a tank and then it just floods out of the 510. I thought if I just keep it topped up it would solve the problem but once it starts flooding theres seems to no stopping it unless I re-build the damn thing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It sounds as if you are losing vacuum ... probably due to an inefficient seal between the inner glass/plastic liner and the outer shell. This is a common problem with some of the Squape clones.

I was thinking that myself I remember reading somewhere that the original didn't have a glass tank because they had issues getting a proper seal. Any ideas how to fix it or do you think its a lost cause

There are 2 remedies mate  ...  
1: pay £18 (cloud9vaping) for the full stainless steel replacement tank which does away with the glass/plastic inner tank or
2: remove the inner tank, put a little waterproof silicon sealant around the top and bottom edges, replace it and allow the silicon to set. This was the remedy that i used and it is still going strong 2 months later.

I knew you'd been acting weird, vaping silicone must be causing it lol

Cheers. I think I'll order the full SS tank and try and get the tank out how easy did yours come out or was it a PITA. I take it you just put some silicone around the outside edges of the tank?

My glass came out easily enough by just sticking a finger into it and using a twisting/pulling action.

Silicon around the top and bottom outside edges of the glass to form a seal with the inside of the steel outer cage ... only a little smear is needed

Thanks for the info I'll try that

Or just chuck it in the bin ... I've more or less given up with my Squape clone ... £12 ... Worth a punt .. Didn't work out ... Worked well for a bit ... But the best thing is is that I wouldn't buy a genuine one now .. I know it's not for me ... Part of the clone experience .. I'd defo buy a Taifun or a kayfun having sampled the clones ... But not a Squape

Gotta say my FT squape clone works perfect & I think the design/ ease of coiling etc is top notch. I find it far easier to coil than any other RTA that I have tried

I had problems with the centre pin not making contact ... Found a fix for it ... But there's something about the Squape I just don't like ... A personal thing .. Can't really describe it ... Just prefer my other snide atties ...

[Dunny]

fiddles what sort or setup do you use on your squape?

I really like the vape I get from the squape clone when its working, Its just the flooding problem I need to resolve. I've got a genuine Kayfun lite which is a great vape also but refilling and rebuilding it is a bit of a faff on. I've also got a taifun clone inbound, just checked the tracking and its at heathrow really looking forward to trying that one
