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?
Nov 17, 2017 · 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. This flooding, then, results in a gurgling sound that is often accompanied by leaks …

Why is my vape spitting?
Nov 29, 2015 · 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. Sucking too hard causes more juice to be drawn in thru the wick than the coil can vaporize. A common mistake with new vapers.
Why does my vape Wick get burnt?
Aug 19, 2020 · Have you noticed the way heated water bubbles and pops? 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.
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.

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?

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.

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!

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.
Is it normal to have a vape popping sound?
Some crackling and popping is normal every time you vape. Have you noticed the way heated water bubbles and pops? 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.
Why does my RTA make a popping noise?
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. You’ll make the problem worse if you use an RTA with a loose airflow. This forces air into the device.
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.
Is VG thicker than e juice?
E-juices high in vegetable glycerin (VG) are usually thicker. 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.
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.
Is PG liquid thicker than VG?
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. E-juices high in vegetable glycerin (VG) are usually thicker.

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.

Why does my vape spit?
A vape spitting is usually caused by atomizer flooding. Spitting often happens in conjunction with the gurgling sounds that indicate flooding. Temporarily increase the wattage setting to vaporize any excess juice to handle spitback. Make sure your coils heat evenly.
Can vaping cause spitback?

What happens when you fire an atomizer?
When you fire the atomizer, the vapor coming up through the flooded juice makes the liquid spit and jump up the chimney and through the mouthpiece. Spitback liquid can be hot and uncomfortable but usually it is just annoying to taste the raw liquid in your mouth. I know, I said that twice now. But it is true!
Can vape coils be flooded?
Flooded Vape Coils. Flooded vape coils are a nuisance! Not only can you get a vape spitting but you will also get a gurgling sound, less vapor, and sometimes less airflow. After a vape has been sitting all night, it is quite common for the first few hits of the day to have some gurgling and spitback.
Why does my atomizer spit?
There are a number of reasons that an atomizer coil might flood. A failing or defective coil can also be the cause of flooding and spitback. If the coil is not fully heating or insufficiently heating then not enough vape juice will be vaporized. That will lead to flooding and vape spitting.
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.

Why do multi strand coils pop?
Multi-strand coils often pop and spit due to their design. Twisted coils in particular have a bad reputation for this, but Clapton coils may have the same issue. Their design makes it easier for e-liquid to pool on the coil, and so sometimes it’s hard to entirely avoid popping on these coil types.
What happens if you inhale too much liquid?
If you inhale too forcefully, you risk bringing too much e-liquid into the coil, which may lead to leakage. Watch out when filling – Never overfill your tank. Always leave a small air pocket at the top when filling. This empty space will help prevent any liquid from leaking out.
What does it mean when a juice tank is not airtight?
Check for cracks – Check your tank for cracks or other damage. A thin crack in the glass or a piece of bent metal can mean the tank is no longer airtight, allowing the juice to leak out and into the air hole valve.
