Most BCCs (e.g. Kanger or Anyvape) are comprised of a 1 or 2 piece base (blue), center pin (red), silicone grommet (grey), and wick (yellow/orange).
A muted/burnt flavor or dry hits occurs when there's too much wicking material used. When the center pin is inserted, it clamps down and chocks the wick and restrict the flow of eliquid.
On the other hand, a gurgling/flooding can be described as a lack of sufficient wicking material to prevent excess amount of eliquid from being fed into the center tube due to changes in pressure or temperature.
Both situations yield undesirable result on extreme cases, but finding a balance between the two is the key to get the best performance out of BCCs. While most BCCs lack a liquid feed control that are observed in Odysseus and Killer705, we can simulate a similar mechanism with small modifications. To achieve this:
1) Invert the silicone grommet
2) Make sure there are enough wicking material
3) Prime wick/coil with eliquid to get it saturated
4) Insert center pin but leaving 1-2mm gap (green arrow) while allowing it to slightly pinch the wick
5) Screw on the tank's body to the base, but stop once a resistance can be felt
That's all!! Now, all you need to do is to hold the base and turn the tank's body clockwise (recommend to start with 1/4 to 1/2 turns) to restrict how much elquid is being fed.
-If it still gurgle/floods, take the BCC off the device and turn it upside down and blow air from the bottom of the connection to get raid of excess eliquid. Once that's done, give it another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Rinse and repeat as needed. If by the time you completely screw the tank completely and it still gurgle/floods, add additional strand(s) of silica/cotton wick and start over from the beginning.
-If muted/burnt flavor or dry hits occurs due to overtightening, just unscrew the base and re-adjust the center pin and start over (recommend to "fluff" the wick first).
