I think I fixed my vision stone gurgling

I've got 4 vision stones, 2 v2s and 2 v3s. I've had gurgling issues with all of them. I may have found a solution. It's been 2 days and the gurgling is 95% gone. If this has been discussed before, I appoligize. I basically eliminated the space underneath the drip tip. Take one of those carto mouth piece tips, you know, the ones that come on a carto that we usually replace with a drip tip. Enlarge the hole so it will fit the pertruding tube from the silicon seal. It fits perfectly and leaves no empty space under the drip tip. I don't know why, but it works for me and one of my coworkers.

Wow. That is a truly awesome, simple idea. Trying it now

Let me know if it works. I thought it was just coincidence so I did it for a coworker and it worked pretty good for him as well. Whatever works...

The gurgling problem I had with the Vision Stones was related more to the silicone cap not being seated properly. I managed to solve most of the gurgle by making sure the coil connections did not intefere with seating the cap all the way down.

However, I do/did have the problem of juice collecting under the drip tip and occasionally getting juice in my mouth or dripping out the end of the tip onto my clothing. I had tried to use some silicone tubing to fill the gap between the bottom of the drip tip and the bottom of the recessed cup in the screw top but it never worked. (It's funny that I had several of the carto stoppers on the table next to me while trying to cut some silicone tubing). I enlarged the hole on one of the carto tops and pushed it down into the cup and it works great! No more little pools of juice under the drip tip. I'm gonna add this to all my Stone tanks!
