ok, of course you can, but how likely is it?
the soil i have been using is mostly small lava (1/16"-1/8") with some perlite and DE mixed in. I am using about 20% sifted "cactus soil" to add some organic material, but its pretty minimal (the cactus soil also contains some perlite).
can you really overwater in this type of soil? I mean, you are pretty much getting air to the roots as soon as the water stops flowing... the soil is able to hold moisture for a couple of days right now, but the top 1/2" dries out pretty fast so i try not to let it go more than a day. temps are just starting to get high here (this week has been 80-90f). Summertime temps are usually high 90's to low 100's, occasionally getting into the low 110's. At that point I pretty much cant water enough...
