It happens because e-liquid is caught somewhere in the tank’s air path – either in the intake vents or, more commonly, in the chimney leading out of the tank. The e-liquid blocks airflow, causing the tank to bubble when you vape. If you can figure out what’s causing the e-liquid to pool, you’ll fix the gurgling.
Why is my vape gurgling?
It’s not so much that the noise itself is bothersome; the problem is really what the gurgling noise means. It means that there’s excess e-liquid caught somewhere in your vaping device, whether it’s in your tank’s air chimney or in the coil assembly.
Why is my vape tank making a bubbling noise?

Why does my vape Crackle and spit back?
A thin e-liquid can flood your coil, cause spitback and make your device crackle. This is especially likely to happen in a sub-ohm tank, which works at higher temperatures.
How do I stop my vape from bubbling?
The best way to do that is by rolling up a paper towel and pushing it through your tank's mouthpiece. Run the paper towel all the way down the tank's chimney until it touches the top of the atomizer coil. The paper towel will soak up the pooled e-liquid, eliminating the gurgling temporarily.
Why is my vape making bubbling noises?
Flooding and gurgling usually arise when the coil is oversaturated with e-liquid, resulting in an excess amount of liquid within the coil. In such a situation, the amount of e-liquid is overwhelming to the coil, and the heat is incapable of vaporising all of the liquid that is present at that time.
Why is my vape crackling and spitting?
Trying to vape with the power too low is what causes excess e-liquid to build up in the coil head, resulting in it spitting hot vape juice. To clear the coil try turning the power up or flicking the device downward to remove the built-up liquid.

Is vape supposed to burn your throat?
Though it is very safe for consumption, it is known to cause some throat irritation when used in high concentration. To avoid a burning throat feeling when vaping, use an e-liquid with a lower PG and a higher Vegetable Glycerin (VG) content.
How do I know if I burnt the coil on my vape?

The weird bubbling sound (gurgle) most often associated with Subtanks is from a flooded coil. Most often you can turn up the power a few watts and it will vaporize the juice. (I didn't listen to the clips). What power setting are you using?
JDC1958 Senior Member ECF Veteran
And how does this happen? The guy in the store set it up for me, put about 2 drops in the 2 holes on the sides, and 2 drops in the top. Then filled the tank and put coil in.

I bought a KANGERTECH SUBOX NANO black friday. Please know this is my first time EVER having an e-cig so I know nothing about them.
wheelie Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
I listened to clips and it sounds normal to me. If flooded you can feel the juice bubbling in it. Sounds like that is not happening. They all make noise. If vaping smooth and you are getting a consistent hit it is right. Ear plugs will stop the crackling noise e-cigs produce. j/k CHEERS!

gurgling can be cause by sucking too hard on the atomizer and or having the airflow closed down and sucking too hard for the airflow.

Disclaimer: I do not have that tank, and am not familiar with it. But it does appear that there's not much liquid in it. In my tanks, I find they misbehave when the level gets too low. Unless there's more liquid that's not visible from the angle in your video, try filling it up again.
Why does my vape gurgle?
Puffing too firmly disrupts your device’s normal airflow and forces extra e-liquid into the pod’s atomizer coil assembly. The e-liquid then begins to seep out of the pod’s air intake vents, or it travels up through the pod’s chimney and into your mouth. Either way, your pod system will gurgle when you vape.
What is the worst vape juice?
With almost any modern vaping device, the worst thing that you can do is use an all-PG vape juice. Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are the two base liquids used to create vape juice. PG is much thinner than VG. It also produces smaller vapor clouds and has a thin, wispy mouth feel. Most people who vape like the larger vapor clouds and fuller mouth feel that VG provides, so most e-liquids contain at least 50 percent VG.
How does a sub ohm tank work?
A modern sub-ohm tank has a wide chimney to facilitate smooth airflow and encourage the production of large vapor clouds. If your tank produces vapor with a large droplet size – we’ll discuss that in greater detail shortly – some of the vapor may condense while it’s still in the chimney, forming drops that drip back down to the atomizer coil. The drops pool on top of the coil, causing gurgling and popping when you vape. The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to get a new tank, which we’ll discuss shortly.
Why does my vape pop?
The action of heating liquid and turning it into vapor can cause the same reaction in your vape device. If the vape popping sound is excessive, it can ruin your enjoyment of vaping. It could also be a signal that’s something is wrong with your device or your liquid. Here are the primary reasons your vape pops excessively.
What does it mean when your wattage is low?
Your wattage or voltage might be too low. Low wattage means your device can’t heat the e-liquid into vapor quickly enough. The e-liquid overflows the tank, resulting in spitback and popping noises.
How do you know if a coil is braided?
The Coil Is Twisted or Braided. You might like the flavor you get from a braided coil, but those braids can leave spaces in the coil. When you introduce e-liquid, it can seep through the braids or coils. You’ll know it’s happening by the hissing, popping sounds. If you braid the coil yourself, try tightening it.
How to get e-liquid into your mouth?
Take Short Inhales. Taking a log, deep inhale can force e-liquid into the chamber and into your mouth. If you repeatedly have this problem, you’re probably pulling too hard. Let the coil and the wick heat the liquid. Inhale gently. You’ll take in pure vapor and have a more enjoyable, flavorful vape.
How to clean e juice from chimney?
Here, the solution is simple. Remove your drip tip. Roll up some tissue paper, insert it into the tank and soak up the excess water. Regular cleaning will help you avoid this problem.
Can you use pod mods at low temperatures?
If you’re using a pod mod or another small device, you’re using lower temperatures. Your small device will work better with a thinner liquid that heats quickly at low temperatures. If you’re having trouble with popping, try switching to an e-juice that contains some VG.
Is PG in a tank thicker?
This is especially likely to happen in a sub-ohm tank, which works at higher temperatures. E-liquids with high propylene glycol (PG) content are usually thinner. You probably enjoy high-PG liquids because the flavor is excellent, but look for a thicker liquid if you have frequent popping.

Hey all I'm still pretty new to this - I'm happy wit my ego t except often when I inhale there is this annoying bubbling sound, I've dismantled it and there's no leaks, tried blowing thru the airhole - to no avail. It happened on my first cartomiser/clearomizer (not sure what it is its see thru with 2 wicks if that's relevant).

Sounds like liquid dripped down to the battery area where the cart screws in. Try cleaning?
XfooYen Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
Ego tanks are notoriously dodgy. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your setup. If you draw too fast, it will pull liquid too rapidly into the atty and begin to flood it. Usually that's the gurgling you will hear. Hit slow and steady and the excess should vape off. If you're getting leaking around the base, that is another issue.

Yeah sounds like you're filling your cart too much. Dab it on a paper towel and look through the hole before you screw in. If you can see through, you're good to go. If you can't, dab it until the excess liquid comes out the bottom of the cart, look through the hole, and if it's all clear, you're good to go.

Intro
Nothing is worse than looking forward to a tasty mouthful of vapor only to be met with a nasty, burnt flavor meeting your taste buds. A vape that tastes burnt can ruin a vape session and can be infuriating to fix.
Burnt Hits vs. Dry Hits
Before determining why your vape creates a burnt flavor, you need to determine that what you're experiencing is a burnt hit. Dry hits are often confused with burnt hits, but they are very different experiences that have very different solutions.
Why Does Your Vape Taste Burnt?
When you start getting burnt hits, you'll know immediately. The vapor will taste scorched and harsh, and you may experience discomfort or pain in your throat and lungs. What causes a burnt vape will vary, but it's likely related to your wick.

Now that we know what causes burnt hits, it's time to learn how to prevent them in the first place. Remember, your primary goal is to keep the wick from burning, and there are several ways to do so.
Other Ways to Avoid Burnt Hits
There are a variety of different ways to avoid burnt hits, depending on your vaping device. While less common, the following techniques could help prevent getting the occasional nasty burnt hit.
How Can We Stop Our Coils From Burning Out?
Unfortunately, all coils will eventually burn out. Though you can't stave off the certainty of entropy, there are a few steps you can follow to stretch the life of your coils as much as possible. Remember, you need to regularly replace your coils (or eventually replace your vape tank) regardless of whether you follow these steps!
Refill Regularly
As we have mentioned, the absolute best thing you can do to avoid getting burnt hits is to regularly refill your vape juice tank. Many tanks are designed specifically for easy refilling, which may be attractive if you hate the idea of having to periodically clean up vape juice messes.
What happens if you add too much e-liquid to your atomizer?
If you add too little e-liquid to the atomizer and the heating coil becomes dry, you’ll receive no vapor when you puff — or worse, you’ll sting your throat. Add too much e-liquid, though, and the atomizer will make a gurgling noise. When this happens, there’s little that you can do except continue vaping through it or give your e-cigarette ...

Gurgling E-Cigarette Cartomizer or Clearomizer. A narrow air tube makes some bottom coil clearomizers susceptible to gurgling. If you have a gurgling e-cigarette cartomizer or clearomizer, you’re probably using something similar to the CE3 clearomizer pictured to the right.
How to take care of a flooded atomizer?
I like to remove the atomizer with the drip tip still attached, hold a paper towel over the end of the atomizer and blow. Some people actually recommend blowing through atomizers backwards, with your lips over the threading rather than the drip tip.
