Blow through bvc coil??

Using the BVC coils on the nautilus, I have blown through the biggest airhole in the airflow control ring, GENTLY while holding a paper towel over the drip tip. I have also rolled a paper towel into a tiny tube about the size of a toothpick, and stuck that down the mouthpiece into the coil area to soak up excess juice. Didn't hurt anything as far as I can tell.

I would blow from the top end. I actually have been wondering this myself, what is the best way to clear out eliquid from the new aspire atlantis coils. Normally I would just replace the wick with Japanese organic cotton in my RBA, but these coils are so expensive I am afraid to take them apart to see if I can replace the wick. So What I did was I put the coil under the sink and let the water fill the whole coil for a few mins. Then blow into the top of the coil so the excess water and juice comes out, so blow on it a few times and then put it back under the water faucet, and let it fill again and then blow it out again, and I did this probably about 4-5 times. At this point after blowing out as much water as I could to try to dry it. Letting it sit to air dry concerns me that it won't work that well, especially because I cant really feel the wicking material to tell if its damp or what, so really what I decided to do was to put the coil on a tray and put it in the oven on 350 for about 20-30 mins. I took it out and it seems just fine. I don't know if this is a smart method to dry it out or not, but hey so far I think it seems to work. Does anyone have any idea how to replace the wick from these ultra expensive coils?

Not necessarily, it is getting warm because when you tilt it no e-juice is getting to the coil so it gets warmer. Once gurgling stops (excess liquid is burnt off) resume normal vaping and you should be fine. It tends to happen more often after the tank is half empty or less. Once my tank is roughly 1/3 full I will oftentimes just top it off.
