Fed Up With Gurgles!

[RevTrip7]

Ok, so I'm fed up with tanks and gurgling cartos.
I have several different tanks that I use on my Provari and I've been trying different size holes on my cartos,
but they all lead to the same thing. I use the carto for 3 drags and then it's as if the boiling heated liquid starts
bubbling too much and the carto seems to flood and gurgle. it's very annoying and I don't know what's causing this.
I'm using 2.5 ohm smoktech dual coil cartos and the holes that I'm punching is just a little bigger than a millimeter in diameter.

Any advice would be appreciated.

It might be the type of juice your using...
I use 3 holes with 100% vg with no problems. There was one time I punched one a little too big and I would get some unexpected juice and when I took the tip off the carto was super soaked. I tossed that and punched again.

Maybe one small hole?!

I hate dual coils. But I still have a few so I decided to use them. Had the same problem as you, when I punched two holes in the carto I got a horrible gurgle. Trick is to just punch one hole, and not a very big hole at that. I always have punched two holes in my boge cartomizers and never gotten a gurgle. I guess the polyfil is just not as dense in the dual coils.

I use the mom and pop sub tank and the smoktek DC tank and they work great. As far as the holes go, I use a saddle valve. I turn it until I hear a pop. I may turn it another half a turn which makes a tiny hole. That works perfect for me. I use a variety of PG/VG ratios and haven't had an issue. I did get flooding like you have when I first tried punching holes, b/c I'de make the holes to big. They only need to be tiny.

I use the smoke tech DC prepunched tank replacement cartos from MV on my lavatube and my ego mega and I do not have any problems. I was a little worried about the hole being so small but they work good for me. I get a little pop now and then but no gurgleing. I use 1.5 ,2.0 an 2.5 ohm. I am waiting on some 3.0 ohm now.

The LAVATUBE

That's the site to buy it at but they're out of stock right now so I'd check back..
Hope that helps!

Ive found that if you have leaks its becouse air is getting in the tank from the top or bottom not beeing sealed correctly. Mabey a slight defect in the o ring. Somewhere you nicked it with a needle.

Im using a saddle valve I purchased at home depot for about 7 bucks..I punch 2 holes, one on each side of dual coil cartos right above the inner 'O' ring on a dct map tank. Turn the saddle valve just until you hear it "pop" and then just a little further. Too much and you go right through the atty, then its ruined.
I use VG juice....So far this technique is working great...no more flooding cartos.....

im getting gurgling now with thinner juice.. i know, old thread..

 

[ChellyNelly]

I'm getting hot juice sputtering into my mouth, a different draw, a quarter of the vapor production as normal, and NO leaking (which I've had many problems with in the past). I'm using a Smoktech 1.7ohm single coil carto in a sub tank from Mom & Pop.

If I stick a paperclip down the middle of the carto and jiggle it around a bit I get a good, normal puff for about 2 hauls and then back to the same.

Please Help!!

I was having the same problem and realized it may be a few things
-either to much air draw which can be fixed by replacing o rings or when you fill your tank up blow out SOME liquid in the carto then fill the tank and resist all urges to puff until the tank is fully sealed
-The connection has some fluid which is a easy fix
-lastly the juice is to thin compared to the size/amount of holes you have

 

[OnceHeaven]

thats the same thing happening on my end. Really depends on the kind of juice. Pear 70/30 has got me gurgling after couple of vapes. Apple 70/30 has a slightly tighter draw minus the gurgle. Guess its more likely a combi of PG/VG.

cheers. Thx for reading

I blame the smoketech carto's. They just flood way to easy. Get some boges, a saddle valve & punch just one good size hole in it. I go about 3/4 turn past the pop.

My routine is as follows & don't have any problems:

I punch a hole, condom fill, insert into tank & fill. Then it's ready to vape.
