Just gone to use an iclear30 b which has been stood in its stand for about a week with a new coil and some liquid in and it has a gurgles.
Checked it everyday for gurgles, like I do on all of the Clearos in my stand / Tupperware box with shot glasses, and it hasn't had one all week, used it a few times on the day I changed the coil with no gurgles, so why has it got one today? Took it apart and cleaned and tried again gurgles straight away.
So can leaving the liquid in a Clearo degrade the coil/wick and make it bad?

Are all the silicone seals in place? A common error and they are so easy to lose or unseat.

Will check in the am. Gonna deal with it in the morning. Left it in the shot glass with a bit of kitchen roll in bottom.
All seals are present though, I think.

The iclear 30b heads don't have any kind of sillicone seals as far as i'm aware. I been using one of these clearos recently and was getting the odd gurgle from it too. I changed to a fresh head a few days ago and it's been working much better since with no gurgles. I found the best way to sort it out when it happened was to hold it upside down and blow out the excess liquid into a tissue.
Maybe you have a duff head? The previous couple of heads i had in mine weren't working too great at all but this latest one is doing great.
Also could be condensation dripping down the centre tube and pooling on the battery connection...
