As you know I'm still a Protank girl...but I have a few of these tanks...& I really like them... however...every one is now gurgling as if juice is in the airflow? I've never had any trouble...but I may be forgetting something...any ideas? They are all bottom fillers. I bought a top fill one, & that didn't even get as far as a mod Thanks in advance x

Sounds like you have blown a seal. They come with a spare set, worth swapping them out perhaps ?

Either that or the coil is flooded which can happen if you are vaping at a low wattage. Taking a draw on the tank pulls juice into the wick, if you aren't vaping at a high enough wattage you don't burn off enough juice and the cotton becomes over saturated and eventually you just end up puling liquid into the the gap in the centre of the coil causing gurgles and possibly leaks.

Now that sounds as if it could be the problem...I just don't know why they all seem to have 'gone' at the same time? I will take them to the next Vapemeet...& I will get help from the posse Thank you Get Off My Cloud x

What I do with mine from time to time gill2009 is run a cotton bud down the inside of the coil from the top - if that doesn't clear it then open the air vents fully wrap a bit of tissue around them and blow gently from the top to clear any excess juice from the bottom of the coil.

Yup I have to do the same for my wife's as she vales at around 10-12w on her Subtanks, try inverting the tank slowly, then back to the right way up and blow down the chimney with the air control valve open. Mind and put a tissue or cloth around the air slots as the excess liquid will be ejected.
Best to do it after every fill.
Good luck

They are usable at low watts gill2009, my wife uses them MTL at around 9 watts with little issue. If your prone to knocking them over like my dear wife check the glass hasn't got a hairline crack letting air in. Vape bands are handy glass protectors for the more clumsy vapers
