Chinese Oddy Clone

for the life of me i cant stop my chody from gurgling, not all the time but it still does it from time to time. i love it but my vivi novas are more consistant, what am i doing thats so wrong?

[Mev]

mine does too from time to time, not too bothered by it I just close the mouthpiece and vape the excess off when it does. I think mine's been better though since adding another O ring on the bottom of the center post.

Just wicked and coiled my newly purchased Nautilus from the classies here and I get the gurgling for the first couple of puffs then it goes but if I leave it standing for a few minutes it gurgles again for a couple of puffs???
I also have the Terminator C which is just a bigger version of the Nautilus (both look exactly the same apart from the size) but I have never had any gurgling from that.
What washer did you use Mev, was it just a second one of the same size? How did it improve yours?

[Mev]

I don't think it seals properly on most mods, when it gurgled before the juice would work out of the bottom so I added the O-ring I had, I think it was a spare from a Penny which was slightly bigger aswell as the original. Now I still get a little gurgle at times but I think less and the juice doesn't seem to work it's way out of the bottom any more.

[Greigster]

That makes sense Mev, I am getting a little juice around the centre pin of the Zmax so it looks like I may need to pop in another o ring cos if I try to tighten the ceramic holder down,I don't want a more airy draw. Well give it a try tomoz. Cheers mate

Wow when that moment comes and you have recoiled and re-wicked the Nautilus right don't you know it it is a different attie altogether and well worth the learning curve
The only thing I did different was I unscrewed the ceramic holder from the centre post as it felt loose and the o ring seemed crushed squeezed it into shape re-assembled and it is totally different

I got my Terminator C coiled up and working a dream first time as well today, so also a happy vaper.

Arrived incredibly quickly from Stormy.

i think the naughty needs 3mm wick in the channels otherwise it will gurgle, i've squeezed 2x2mm in the channels and it hasnt gurgled once, its a bit too tight and so 3mm is definately gonna be better

I use 3mm wick in my ody and chody. I double it between the coils. It seems to work quite well and saves me having to keep stock of different size wicks.

[Greigster]

Got 3mm down the channelling of my Naughty but still get the gurgle for the first 2 draws then its fine until i put it down for a few mins then gurgles again for a couple of puffs. I have also got the Terminator C and no gurgling with that. Going to try swapping all the bits over one at a time to see if I can pinpoint the problem as the parts on both are the same.

[bones3]

i get gurgling still with mine i just blow it out the carry on

i just got my terminator c today and i have jet to build it as i didnt know if i was gion to keep it as i was having probs with silica wick and my gums/teeth

i rebuilt my naughty today with wick that i had boiled with a drop of washing up liquid then rinsed and what a difference it has made

no tangy feeling in me gob at all !!

quite glad really as it looks just the job on me roller!!

[archiecat]

managed to get an unused vaour-freak nautilus second hand, looks very well made to me!

It came with two rolled up bits of wire and some wick, one of the wires is a more silver coloured and more supple the other darker and springier, is the silver supple one the no-res or have I got it the wrong way round.

Ta!

[Ron]

The wick supplied with it is too thin you need 3 mm wick or you get flooding.Follow Blakey's tutorial on page 25 it will give all the info.I couldn't tell the difference in the wires as they were not labeled I used my own that I got off Dee in the classies
