I still think it's over wicking then. Do you make your own coils? A bit more wick on top should help, and don't prime it just let it soak for a few minutes. If you don't make your own try a fresh head without priming, you don't need to empty the remaining juice obvs.

No I don't make my own.... I've put a new coil and I'm not gonna prime it I'm jus letting it sit for a min

Yes gurgling but no juice

Definitely sounds like over tightened.

Take it off - blow through into a tissue - put it back on slightly looser

Ok I'm gonna try put it on looser now

If that doesn't work - it gets a bit more complicated.

If it was just one tank/clearomiser - I would just say -dud head- try another.

But, if it's everything you put on it - then you've got to look at the device rather than the liquid carrier.

See how you go - but, take it easy and take long slow draws rather than trying to suck an elephant through a straw (if you know what I mean).

Suck an elephant through a straw 

We see it all the time in the shop

People sucking on it with red rosy cheeks, instead of just taking it easy and letting the device do the work.

I know not to suck it hard, I don't do sucking!!

All the parts of the tank are meant to be tight together doe right?

What fred said VapeKingMikes, have a look at super shinys guide to micro coils,  had similar problems with standard coils in my mini protanks and evods, learnt to micro coil - clouds of vapour better taste, about 9 turns gives about 1.8 ohms perfect for protanks.
Oh I get he odd bubble in them too when I fill them

Only touch tight Mike

They only need to make contact to work - any tighter and you will block the airflow or push the pin up in the tank creating leaks.

Hold the button in on the device and slowly tighten the tank until it just fires - that will do.

Get some 2mm silica and some .2 kanthal while you're there VapeKingMikes let's get you coiling these heads!

[Clivia]

do the bubbles actually disturb you or are they just there ? I am using protanks too - have the very occasional bubble - but generally I don't have them - or at least I can't see or feel any while vaping.

I use pipe cleaners to dry the centre.

As fred said a while back, the juice has to be replaced with something; I get a bubble every draw or two. When I used to use clearos, I got a small crack towards the base of the plastic tube, and that let in a stream of really small bubbles, but this doesn't seem to be relevant here.
As it's happening to all your devices, let's hope it's a matter of not tightening them up so much solves the problem for you.
I'm a hardened exponent of recoiling your own - micro coils and cotton wool wicks are definitely the way to go - they are SO much better and will give you loads of flavour and vapour. The coils last for weeks (I still have my original coil in a Protank after 7 weeks!) and 5 minutes to change the cotton wool every few days is a small price to pay!

chykensa which wick are you using ?

are you using that one ? Because I want to order some

You Can buy silica wick here. They also sell the wire if you wish to start making your own coils www.vape-atomizer-mesh.com/products/2mm--2000-Micron-or-12-AWG--Silica-Wire---High-Temperature-Glass-Fibre---1-Metre-2410.html

thanks

He uses cotton, as do I and a lot of folk - the sort of stuff used for makeup - big pleat, balls, pads, even the end of an ear-picker!
I find it gives much better flavour and vapour than silica + it's a lot cheaper

I use that if I'm recoiling Vivi Novas (a rare occurrence these days!), or 2mm Ekowool from the same company to recoil my Protanks.
As fred says though, the majority of my coils are now microcoils using .25 Kanthal, and these only need new wicks which I use Superdrug cotton wool balls for - a huge bag cost me £1.95 and this should last for about 10 years at the rate I'm going through them!!
