The wick size that you use will probably have a bearing on the gurgling. I would tend towards the thicker wick.
I will monitor it again today and update as necessary

I have been using 2mm Glass firbe wick from C9 with 2 strands on top for two days now since the gurgling happened to me, it's a bit of both, juice and condensation and it is now perfect, vapes really well.

Also i have just one hole covered, it seems to be less airy the more you use the tank...must be maturing with old age

You or the tank?

I am going to do that one Greigster.  I have had a couple that have given me problems with one coil touching the other one, after a fair bit of use, which gives unexpected results  when checking the ohms. If they were 3 ohm coils, you would expect either 1.5 ohms if both okay, or 3 ohms if one had popped. I have been getting readings all over the place, but sortable with a quick poke with a tooth pic, which suggests the coils are touching part way down the length of the coils somewhere ???

 I have noticed that as well, definitely less airy as time goes by

I know everyone's said it, but those photos are ******* brilliant!

Same as above, Have not got a protank but if I do get one, I know where to look when coiling one.

Well done David Bailey.

Now say Protanks

I think if you have a camera capable of it, it really helps to take away the doubt about bits of the process and to me, better than video, thanks djs

Great 'Walk through' Robby - still got to get around to it as i've been using the RSST when possible

Having a few issues with the iClear - so being able to make me own head(s) might be a step in right right direction too please

UPDATE on extra bit of wick on top of the coil (must be why they did it)

Seems to be working fine now after putting the extra bit of wick back on top of the coil yesterday, no leaks, no gurgles

a great peice of work there robby, great for people wanting to learn what you will also find, using the extra peice of wick over the top of the coil prevents it from spitting liquid up the tube into your mouth.

great pics!
i'll just send you mine to do if thats ok

[Jerri]

Rewicked mine a few night back. Extra bit on top of the coil.

No gargling at all but slight leaking from the bottom. Any suggestions?

[robby]

The only thing I can think of is the coil head isnt tightened down enough or something on the seal underneath it. Maybe getting too much wicking now and it`s dripping off the coil/extra wick combination ???  Jerri
