So, I'm currently enduring a problem. One of those problems that causes migraines and leaves a bad taste in
your mouth (literally, on both accounts). My tank is now leaking again after only one day of having a new coil
in it. I have went through four coils already in a month's time. They keep leaking and thus e-liquid shoots up
into my mouth leaving me with horrible tastes and headaches as a result.

My set up:

eGo-C Twist 1100mAh battery
Kanger ProTank 2 tank with Smoktech coils

The Kanger coils were alright only for a few days each, then my little brother got me these Smoktech coils.
The first one I popped in was AMAZING for about two weeks. Then it started gurggling, which led to juice
being shot up into my mouth. I changed the coil yesterday with another one of the Smoktech coils he gave
me and everything was fine. But now, just a day later, it's worse than the last one was! I'm not sure if
the gurggling and leaking are connected, but I am sure they are.

I normally vape at 3.2 volts (the lowest on mine) with my 50/50 juices and 3.6 to 3.8 volts with my 20/80
pg/vg juices.

I could really use some help here guys. If I can't vape I'll definitely go back to smoking, and I love my vaping.

Also, I bored out my holes a little on the 510 connector like someone had recommended and it was fine. Went
to bed and left my tank upside down as recommended, woke up, put it together, and I've got heavy gurgling again.

Could it be that there's not enough wick since I took one of my flavor wicks out?

I am so sorry you are having issues. It can be very frustrating. I use ProTanks and evod's and have never had a leaking problem. I always remove my flavor wicks. When I fill up my atomizer, I do put a napkin over the mouth piece and flick it several times just like you would a old time thermometer. (you've probably seen it on tv) heehee Some juice comes out on the napkin but when I put my atomizer back on......I have no problems at all. I look forward to reading what other people suggest because I want to know just in case I start having any problems. Good luck to you and don't give up. If anything get you different atomizers or something. Everyone needs bunches of backups. :)

I found the problem and the fix for mine.

I had tried my friends mech mod, and apparently it had pushed up the wire in the coil a little,
so that caused the hole and the leaking. I popped a new coil in, and it runs right as rain.
Boring out the holes also worked wonders for the air flow.
