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 making a bubbling noise?
A bubbling noise usually indicates flooding in the vape chamber. Disassemble your tank wnd check the coil for a missing o-ring and be sure it is properly seated.
Why is my disposable vape gurgling?
Disposable Vape Gurgling or Leaking Is your disposable vape gurgling or leaking? The most likely cause is that you’re using too much air pressure when you puff. You’re sucking excess e-liquid into the device’s chimney or atomizer coil.
How do you break air bubbles out of a vape?
Break Air Bubbles If you have a pod-based disposable vape, you might get weak hits if air bubbles form around the pod’s wicks. Tap the device gently on a table to break the air bubbles. After giving the wicks a few seconds to get wet, you should get some nice hits again.
Why is my e-liquid coming out of my vape?
Many disposable vapes store their e-liquid in a fabric-based filler material. As you vape, absorption causes the e-liquid on the outside of the fabric to move in toward the coil. If you’re chain vaping, though, you’re not giving the e-liquid a chance to absorb. Try a slower vaping pace.

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!

I would recommend going back to the shop for a 1-1 tutorial on how to use it again.

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 do vapers take so long?
This is commonly due to the way in which the individual user to take drags from a cigarette, which tends to be rather vigorous.
Why does my power supply gurgle?
That is, the lower the resistance, the higher the wattage should be, and vice versa. Each resistance tank will have a range that is considered the “sweet spot.” If your power output is set too low to properly heat the coil , it will result in flooding and gurgling. Try increasing your wattage/voltage to a level that is within the recommended range—this may resolve the flooding and gurgling you are experiencing.
How does a vacuum tank work?
In order for the vacuum effect to function appropriately, the tank needs to be well-sealed and air-tight. Check the assembly of the tank’s various components to ensure that everything is connected properly and securely. In addition, inspect the various parts for cracks or gaps that could potentially allow excess air to enter the tank. This can also contribute to flooding and gurgling.
Why is my vape giving me weak hits?
If your disposable vape is giving you weak hits, one potential reason is that the nicotine strength simply isn’t right for you . Consider buying a device with a higher-strength e-liquid next time.

How to get weak hits on a vape?
If you have a pod-based disposable vape, you might get weak hits if air bubbles form around the pod’s wicks. Tap the device gently on a table to break the air bubbles. After giving the wicks a few seconds to get wet, you should get some nice hits again.
Can you refill a vape?
If you want to refill your vaping device, you should buy a device designed for that. Before you try refilling a disposable vape, you should also know that, when the device is out of vape juice, the battery is also nearly dead – so you’ll probably end up wasting e-liquid.
Can you burn a wick on an e-cigarette?
Most disposable e-cigarettes lack any kind of temperature control functionality. If you maintain such a fast vaping pace that you’re continually vaping before the wick has a chance to absorb more e-liquid, you may burn the wick. Slow down.
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.
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.

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 tank leak?
Leaking happens when e-juice escapes from your tank, usually through the airflow system. Depending on the reason behind it, leaking can range from a few drops of e-liquid, to having your tank emptying all of its contents all over your vape mod. It’s a common problem with even the most popular sub ohm tanks.
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.
How to remove e juice from a tank?
First make sure the threads are in sync and closed tightly, but not too tight. Find that sweet spot. If the threads are crossed, screw it back together carefully. Remove e-juice from chimney – All tanks have a central airflow tube that runs from the body of the tank up to the drip tip, known as the chimney.
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.
Can you shut off airflow on a vape?
Check your airflow – Always make sure the airflow holes are fully closed when filling. When in use, make sure the airflow is open enough to allow you to vape without having to take strong inhales.
Where does vapor go when you inhale?
Narrow Drip Tip or Chimney. When you inhale from your e-cigarette, all of the vapor isn’t actually going to get inside your mouth. A little of the vapor condenses inside the chimney or drip tip. Eventually, some of the condensed vapor can form droplets that remain stuck and block the flow of vapor.
What is a drip tip for vaping?
Have you ever wondered what those funny looking swiveling drip tips are for? Now you know. If an atomizer is spitting, the droplets hit the bend in the drip tip instead of going into your mouth. A very long drip tip can alleviate atomizer spitting, too. If your vaping setup doesn’t allow you to prevent spitting, you can at least keep the e-liquid out of your mouth.
How to prevent e-cigarette from spitting?
In this case, you can prevent the atomizer from spitting by increasing your e-cigarette’s wattage so it vaporizes the e-liquid more efficiently.
How to stop e-liquid from popping?
You can often prevent an atomizer that’s popping and spitting by simply using a wide bore drip tip. Since e-liquid can’t condense and form droplets inside the bore of the drip tip, it falls back to the coil.
Why does my atomizer pop?
Twisted coils are known to cause quite a bit of atomizer popping and spitting. If you have a tank or RBA with a twisted coil, braided coil, Clapton coil or anything of the sort, it may be difficult to avoid a bit of occasional spitting.
Can you swallow e-liquid?
When your e-cigarette’s atomizer is popping and spitting, it can make the experience of vaping thoroughly unpleasant. At best, you might swallow e-liquid. At worst, you may actually burn your tongue. Either way, you’re going to miss out on a lot of flavor and vapor.
Can a rebuildable tank atomizer wick too fast?
Overly fast wicking isn’ t usually a problem with rebuildable dripping atomizers or sub-ohm tanks with pre-built coils. With rebuildable tank atomizers, though, the wicks can sometimes work too efficiently. If too much e-liquid center chamber, the coils will flood and the atomizer will begin popping and spitting. Since an RTA also has a chimney leading directly to the mouthpiece, you’ll most likely end up with e-liquid in your mouth as well.
