Is there a clearomizer or tank atomizer out there that doesn't gurgle or spit hot liquid in your mouth?

We have 4 different kinds of clearomizers in the house (iClear 16, Protank mini 2, Evod glass, and Aspire DBC) and they all gurgle, spit hit e-liquid in your mouth and most of them leak onto the battery connection post). It doesn't seem to matter if we have a thinner or thicker liquid in them and It doesn't seem to matter how hard or soft I draw either.

We use heavy vg liquids at the moment, we have non-adjustable ego batteries, vv ego batteries and Smoktech SIDs. We'd rather not drip. We don't have a lot of money to spend on our vaping equipment, but we'd sure like to have something that worked well.

Thanks for the help everyone.

If they are all doing it, different designs, there are common reasons. The two most common reasons for the symptoms you describe are:

Running them at too high a voltage/wattage setting. BCC's are not high voltage/wattage designs.

Drawing too hard and too long will blow right past the partial vacuum that holds liquid in a clearo, suck it right up the vent tube, and then dump it out the bottom of the 510 connector. Long draws and/or hard pulls off a clearo don't work.

Well the voltage kind of depends on the flavor. I'm a flavor junkie and I fiddle with it until I find the best flavor, unburnt flavor that is; so the first hint of being too hot and I'm turning it back down. So I really don't use a certain voltage, it's a very fluid number.

I'm not so much interested in huge plumes of vapor (a moderate amount will do me good) and I couldn't give two hoots about throat hit (in fact I'd do without it all together), but I absolutely do want flavor.

Juice is drawn into the coil by the vacuum you create when you vape. Suction pulls in juice that replaces the juice that is atomized. You can frequently see an air bubble rise in a tank if you look at the juice right after you vape. That bubble is caused by the vacuum you created when juice was drawn out of the tank into the coil. When you stop, the pressure equalizes and air is drawn back into the tank from the coil area.

You can minimize that by drawing gently and slowly. About 4 seconds is average. We all have a habit of treating it like a cigarette at first. That you have the same issue going on with different tanks is the clue.
