With either wick type cut the coil wick just a little longer than normal, bend it upwards and tuck part of it under the chimney seal with a needle or tiny screwdriver. This prevents leaking through the wick channel above the coil wick and totally elliminates the need for those flavor killing "flavor wicks".

The folding technique is a trick I'll have to try. The tutorial I followed on re-wicking my coils pretty much ignored the flavor wick. Without it, one gets all sorts of gurgles, but adding an extra cotton wick always seems to mute the flavor just a tad. Thanks for the tip!

No probs Count.
With protank 1,2 & 3 and evods gurgling can happen for a number of reasons.
1. Chimney/Air tube seal bad, missing or not compressed against air tube. Causes juice to enter the air tube then run down the chimney and onto the wick which floods it.To check seal apply a tiny piece of modeling clay to top of seal, reassemble, disassemble and check for clay compression.
2. Missing flavor wick and/or chimney seal flipped upside down when using stock coils. Floods the wick.
3. Leaking tank seals. Floods the wick.
4. Drawing too hard which causes too much juice to flow from the tank and thereby floods the wick.
5. Drawing without firing. This will draw juice into the coil and flood it.
6a. Not enough wattage/heat. Turn your voltage/wattage setting up so the coil can vaporize the juice as fast as it wicks in.
6b. If your battery is fixed voltage change your coil to the next lower ohms rating. This will heat the coil to a slightly higher temp and will vaporize the juice completely.
7. Any of these can also cause leaking as well as gurgling.

Note: if you are using cotton flavor wicking it can get sucked up to the bottom of the chimney causing reduced airflow. This can make you want to draw harder. (See #4 above)

If you are rebuilding, get an RBA.

Much better results :)

I did the same thing, and it's excellent training. After rebuilding a Kanger wick, any RBA is a breeze

I have a cyclone dripper that I build on (cheap too). It's single coil and works great for sampling juices. Right now I have tons of new coils for my MPT2's and for the Aerotank. I can rebuild the single coils and trying to teach myself to do the dual coils. Once I get it right I'll be all set to use those tanks till they are dead. At that point I'll look at RBA tanks.

If you like Kanger gear, then Aspire Products will blow your mind.

I had nothing but issues with them.

Some of which I didn't even realize were issues until I tried other stuff.

My Aspire BDC is terrible. Although I don't know if the heads I got are legit or not. I bought it as my first tank from a local shop and had their branding all over it. I just know the coils I bought there were crap compared to the single coils I use on my Davide. I honestly didn't even like the BDC coils I got with my Davide though and they had the Aspire stamp on them. The single coils have been much more reliable and have had better flavor for me.
