I am pretty new to vaping also. I have found the Evod's the most reliable. Only time I had gurgle/flood issue is when I needed to change the coil head. Used thicker VG juice and it was just caked up on the wicks. Nowhere else for the juice to flow but out. I also love my I clear 30, however, it is so touchy. Some tanks you want to screw the coil head tight, other's just "finger tight". Just practice I suppose. I also enjoy the MT3S. It is a bigger Evod, great venting. Sometimes so good I stick a small piece of electrical tape to cover a hole up.
