Let's try to figure this out. I have an idea why this is happening, but I need more data from the rest of you.
Ok, when I got my first DCT tank, I had no idea how to prime a carto. Now I do. Drip 20-30 drips, going N E S W, and letting it soak into the polyfill. When it gets to that "crushed ice/slurpee" look, you fill the tank and then it's primed and ready to go (I usually do "dry" tokes, taking hits without hitting the fire button, to kinda soak up even more, first).
Now, a lot of my coworkers have lost faith in clearos, and they're interested in DCT tanks because a few of us figured out how to use them (not being cocky, I'm extremely thankful learning how from people here, etc).
Well, I think I figured out how a DCT carto can flood. Here is my theory: if you push the carto "down" out of the tank with your thumb, and then you pull the carto down into the tank, and leave a fraction of an inch open for a juice bottle nozzle to drip juice, that usually works. BUT, if you take the top o-ring off, fill up the tank with juice, and then push the top o-ring back onto the tank, it most DEFINTELY floods the carto. The forced air being pushed in when you pop that top cap back on will most assuredly push juice back up and into your carto. If you have two or three hole-punched cartos, it makes it even worse.
Anyone else discover the same thing?
