First off i'll describe my set up i have an itaste VV set a 7.5W with 2.1 resistance from an iclear 30s. i currently have a thicker liquid and it seems everytime i refill with this juice i get a gurgling sound do i need to bump up the wattage because of the thickness of the liquid? i don't have any leaking from the tank at all i've done some research but most complain about the leaking and gurgling but i only have the gurgling. the hits arent bad the sound just makes me nervous as its the first time i've heard any tank do this without a leak.
iclear 30s gurgling sound?

From the sounds of it you do need to bump up the power a touch, i think that's caused by the atomiser not being able to heat the liquid fast enough and it's flooding it a touch. Try bumping up to 9 watts see if that does the trick 
EDIT - quick thought, if it's like a sucking through a straw sound with a little bit of popping that's probably normal, but if the draws are a touch weak bump the power

You didn't over fill it, did you? Any time I've had gurgling was when I forgot and put too much juice in.
Grab a paper towel, un-screw the i30 from your device, hold towel over threads, and blow through the mouth piece. This might help
thanks mousey i'm going to try and bump it up for the day i kinda figured that this might be the issue i just dont like to over work the atty when i can avoid it. and the sound is like someone taking a hit out of a water pipe its weird.
see i over filled it yesterday and thats when the gurgling started so before i refilled i took everything apart and wiped it clean, refilled it to 2.5ml and it went down to 2.0ml after it all settled and this morning its still making the gurgling hopefully its just the not enough power issue.
Ah yeah that's probably what's doing it, the downside to overfilling is that it takes forever to get it out again properly, Try RoseB's suggestion that should help
I ran it thru a Russian to Englsih translator and this is what I got, still doesn't compute!!
Here we are in and all now I hope I can be that it is to do so in this forum
I've had the same "gurgling" thing with my Triton a couple of times after filling it. I discovered I was getting a tiny bit of juice into the center tube (a risk with top-coil tanks if the atomizer isn't screwed on tight enough when filling).
What I do is similar to what RoseB suggests, except I use centrifugal force to clear out the center tube. I simply take my tank after I've filled it and reattached the mouthpiece, and wrap a piece of tissue or paper towel around the threaded end. Then, I stand up, I hold the tank tissue-side down in my hand, and I swing my arm quickly forward and back 6 or 7 times. The centrifugal energy forces any moisture to the bottom of the tank's center tube and into the tissue. Then I reattach the battery, and vape away. No more gurgling!
It's a way you can clear out the tube of any tank in only a few seconds. I even use this method when I rinse and dry my syringes and bottles. It overcomes any suction effect quite well. Gets my hardware completely dry in no time.

Just to clarify. This is the iClear30S?
On 7.5 watts it won't vape well at all i.m.o.
I vape all my basic clearos at 7.5 watts (evod, T3S, mini PT) to avoid burning. Using a 30S, I turn it up to 9 or 9.5 most of the time.
It sucks up juice madly and gets soggy. Nothing to worry about, but this model require more power than most.

My iClear does that if it gets juice down the center. I unscrew the top and stick a cotton swab on the silicon piece guarding the coils and push down slightly. That is usually enough to absorb the extra juice.
thanks i'll definately keep that in mind very nifty trick. i changed the wattage and haven't had any issues
I usually don't fill my 30s's right up, they seem to perform better filled no more than the 2.5ml mark. I am vaping them at 9 watts on my VTR.

yea its an iclear30s and i've had the suspicion since i bought it that it needed some more power but i didnt want to go threw coils left and right, if it can't be avoided i may be in the market for a different tank
I usually run my 30s at 12.5W for most juices. I have one juice that I can only run at 8W or it tastes burnt. The 8w juice tends to gurgle where the 12w don't.

No worries on that front. I've had iClear30S head last me 7-8 weeks. The current one has done 4 already.
Protanks (for me) don't even do one week.
Vaping it at 9 watts is not going to go through coils left and right.... ask Mr Kanger about bad value...
It is one of the best tanks on the market. Don't stress on the higher power, if you can do it/enjoy it. (I appreciate it will use batteries up faster).
