Noisy Plato

[shazza]

I've been using my Plato for over a week now, getting along just fine, then last night it was quite noisy and gurgly and at there was juice coming out of the airflow at the bottom. Not much and if I hadn't looked I wouldn't have noticed it, but enough to show when I pressed a bit of kitchen roll against it. Today it seems better but still has periods where it's noisier than it was, then it's good...and still just the tiniest bit of juice showing at the airflow.

What've I done?

It's probably the coil nearing the end.

I had it yesterday with a coil. It was still vaping, but the leaking was epic!

I did wonder about the coil, but it seems that most people get well over 2 weeks with theirs and mine won't be 2 weeks in until tomorrow...that said I'm vaping 70/30 and have read that 60/40 - 50/50 is better for coil life. Don't know as this is my first go with these.

I'll wait until the juice is lower and then have a go at my first coil change!

The time length of a coil will also depend on what power you use, what juice and how much you vape. People say they get 2 weeks from a crown coil but I get about 3 days as I chain vape.
Not that I'm saying your coil is dead though as there are other factors like o-rings and how and when you refill

jtc How and when? Elaborate please

The leaking was down to it needing to be tightened, I didn't realise but changing tips had loosened it. I changed the coil and it vapes 'ok' but now is way crackly and noisier than it was, say, a few days after I'd first used it.

The noise could be just the way the coil is performing. Mrs Striker has the same issue occasionally after the coil has been changed and it's nothing really to worry about if it is vaping the way it should.
