evod, evod2, rgm "gurgle issues"

[shaunzy74]

Not sure what tank I want to go with.

I can't even use an evod without it leaking or gurgling. Does anyone know if they fixed that on evod 2? Also does it use the same clearomizer? I thought the issue was with the clearomizer, not the tanks.

Also heard of a RGM glass tank I wanted to check into

Basically thought evods were it, but can't stand that when I take a hit, I have it leaks, ....

I don't really have the info you are looking for but my evod and protank 2 were driving me crazy with flooding and leaking until I changed out the wicks with cotton. Now they are awesome. I am just a noob though so who knows what tomorrow holds.

EVOD's and Protank 1-2 stuff works great with the right coil. Even stock coils tend to work ok. I rebuild mine. Lately, now that it's been heating up here in Michigan I've found that my cheap thin (and awesome tasting!) mostly PG juice will start to flood an EVOD if it's in my hot car. The biggest thing I've found is if you suck hard (think sucking a golf ball through a garden hose ) you will flood it for sure. You'll suck juice right through the wick holes before it gets a chance to burn. Once I learned to build coils with big cotton wicks and suck gently the flooding was nada and I got clouds. Until I started the 95 degree car gurgles...LOL I might try a thicker juice with more VG soon.

sounds like the wick (i assume silica) is not sealing correctly when the coil assembly is all put together. the flavor wicking does help this if you clean it up and look at there the wick jets from the coil body any gaps between the wick and the cover tube will cause flooding and that gurggling sound. also may want to check that your silicon cover cap is setting correctly both on the coil and when its inserted in the evod. had this issue with my protank 2 after a recoilling. after playing with it for afew days and drinking most of my juice instead of vaping it i turned to cotton. also your local vape shop should have evod heads for sale for cheap if all else fails.

Any problems that I have had have been due to either letting my eliquid get down too low in the tank, or needing to put a clean coil in. We have been using Evods since March. The Evod 2 is a dual coil tank, and the base will not accept the Kanger single coils for the original Evods or the Protank 2 Minis. My daughter and I have been using the Evod Glass (like the Evod 2, it comes with a dual coil on a different base from the original Evod) with Protank 2 Mini bases so that all our tanks can use the same coils, and we are having no problems.

The evod 2 and original both suffer sometimes with the same issue.
On balance, I'd say the newer one is more reliable.

I know of a glass tank called RG (200, 250, 300 etc.) and am ordering two dozen from China to rebuild them and give away to newbies.

If it's the same, it has a good reputation, but that's almost certainly down to one Vendor selling them with rebuilt coils/wicks.

An excellent alternative to the Evod's is the Smoktech ARO. It is my main "go to" tank these days.
Great flavor, TH, no leaking, etc.
Here's the black one :

I would just like to add.

I bought both the 2.0ml ARO and the 3.5ml ARO. The larger one is a festival of leaking. Almost certainly the worst I have ever used.

Stick with the small one.

In my experience with an evod 2 to prevent leaking is just add a little bit extra layer of wick under and on top of the coil when rebuilding it

I have been real happy with my evods. They do gurgle when they get low for some reason.

But the best clearotank thing I have tried yet is the Aspire BDC. Gives as good a hit as my Russian 91 with cotton, rarely leaks, heads dry burn pretty easily. Just a good bit of kit, as our English friends say.

Try to top off your tank when it gets about 2/3rd empty and that should help

I found this link on the web. This easy fix stopped all gurgling issues for me on my evod2 and t3d
