Flooding
Too much liquid reaches the atomiser, creating duller flavour & a bubbling sound. Can potentially leak out through mouthpiece.
Freebase nicotine
Freebase nicotine is the original nicotine in e-liquids. It creates a strong throat hit, which can feel a bit too strong at super high nicotine strengths.
Long fill e-liquids come as 20ml of flavouring in a 60ml bottle, allowing the user to mix & create fully custom e-liquid.
