I just got a ProTank yesterday and today, as my juice got low my tank is also gurgling. I read somewhere that this tends to happen when the juice gets low and that the tank should be kept filled. So I filled up my tank again and it no longer gurgles - I think it has something to do with the pressure in the tank.
This happened to me during the first tank on one of my protanks. Since then, everything has been fine with regard to leaking from the base. Perhaps, I didn't have the base screwed in tight enough . . . I don't really know.

Same here, pretty annoying. Rewicked 2 with SS, still leaking with 1, but the other, no more leaks ...so far.
FWIW, the T3 had the exact same issue - some would probably say, "it's just the nature of the beast" and I tend to believe that they're correct. Just like the fact that bottom coil clearos are sensitive to temperature changes (causes gurgling/flooding).
I guess you deal with the issues, or go to top coil clearos and adapt the tilt'n'whirl dance to keep the wicks and coil saturated

The thing with bottom coils gurgling and flooding is pressure and how many wicks you have. If your liquid is 50-50 or above, and you've removed wicks, I suggest you put a little of silica above the coil and reassemble. That should take care of it. If the gurgling comes when the level is too low, blow into a napkin from the bottom. That increases pressure and enables you to vape it almost dry.
I have this issue with all the kanger clearos. You have to keep them filled, once it gets to just less then half it starts to leak and gurgle. I clean off the juice take apart the bottom and blow out the excess onto a paper towel. Blow from the end that attaches to the battery of course.
I do this with my EVODs and Protank...I have jokingly started calling it 'burping' it. But, like you said its just equalizing the pressure a bit. Funny thing is though if I have my juice bottle handy, instead of 'burping' it, I just fill it up.
I've had this exact thing happen with my protanks, but only happens when the juice gets to about 1/3 full. Glad to hear i'm not the only one lol.
This happened to me too! Well before it got low, but, to be fair, I was on a long car ride with no A/C, 100+ degree weather and my filled tank got pretty warm. Walked into a well air conditioned casino for a while then back into the heat. Long story short, the changes in pressure from the temperature HAD to be the culprit.
I thought it was just a defective head at first but she's vaping like a dream again after cleaning it out!

Just had this happen to me today. It was hot. Is it just the pressure or maybe juice gets more liquid when its hot as well. I was a little ...... when all 4 protanks started leaking same time
mine never leaks but it does gurgle some times and i just swing it around and the gurgle is gone
How simply manage the Kanger Protank gugling and flooding issues.
I've found this blog extremely helpful in dealing with my protank outside of the recoiling/rewicking suggestions.
At the bottom of the page is a video showing the same thing.

The base makes the difference in my experience. I purchased 5 spare bases and testing them side by side I have one that leaks after a while, one that has a too light draw and harsh taste, and a couple that are just perfect. I didn't take a close look as to why but I can only guess it's due to variations in machining.
Your signature is an interesting twist on this quote from "Dune". Great movie, btw!
