If you changed heads and it's still acting funny I'd suspect the juice.
What juice are you trying to vape and has it given you trouble before?

It's Cherry Blossom by AiV (but I've been using this same EVOD for a handful of AiV samples and it behaved the same with all of them. :( )

I took it and rinsed the current head really well and the gurgling went away, but the draw is still way too restricted. The air holes are all clear, I've tried unscrewing it incrementally from the battery to make sure it isn't locked down too tight. I don't know, I'm at a loss. It's vaping fine, it's just like sucking a milkshake that is too frozen through a straw. My head hurts. :blink:

I've had the EXACT same problem with one of mine and couldn't figure it out...:confused: and did what any slightly nerdy, science guy would do....I scoured EVERYWHERE for info...:matrix: and this is what fixed mine....
1. Clean the coil. I took mine out and gave it a good Vodka soak overnight. (You've done this)
2. MAKE SURE the coil is tight in the base (I don't know why, but they work loose sometimes)
3. When you put the base back on the EVOD tank (THIS is the important thing I think) DON't screw it on so tight. Apparenty this causes a vaccum lock...and is common with EVODS. :blink: I screw mine on JUST till it stops and no further..
4. Decrease your draw on the EVOD.....I was sucking on the thing like I was trying to get a golfball through a hose....:facepalm: A nice, easy draw gives you a better hit and better vapor on the EVOD's..
5. Make sure that little "Bubbles" are not forming over the wicks. Turn it upside down once in awhile to prevent this.

I did those things and it seems to have fixed the problem. No more gurgling, easier draw..ect. Also, it was suggested that if they start to gurgle, to increase the voltage as the wicks may be becoming saturated. I did this several times before I tried the above suggestions but it never helped. You may also want to do a dry burn on the coil that's giving you problems in case you have a "gunk" build up. If ALL ELSE FAILS...........do what I did and get a Kanger Mini pro tank and say TO :evil: WITH IT! :toast:
ONE MORE THING I forgot to mention....:oops: Make sure the little air holes around the base are clear. You can do this with a sewing needle....sometimes they get blocked and this will increase the draw :)

Ordered an itaste MVP from fast tech today! I hope it doesn't take the full 2 weeks to get here. Now all I need is a big bottle of moo and some sweet cream and I should be done buying for awhile.

Forgot to mention I found a 5 pack of evod heads for 6 bucks at discount vapors. Ordered around 2pm and they should be here tomorrow. I looked at the tracking info and discount vapors is about forty min from my house and I had no idea. Anyone know if they have a store front? Good to know I can get next day emergency supplies at a great price!

No he doesn't have a store..in fact its just him and his wife doing it. But his customer service is so much better then some of the bigger vendors I have dealt with.

I was all set to buy me some good AW batteries for my Vamo cause these Efest ones I have are awful. Then Eric decides to put the Protank 2 on his site! Oh well maybe next week!

hey everyone thanks for chiming in on the mbv coil gunk issue- the caramelized flavors gunking faster seems to be the most logical answer- and the fact that they are steeping as we speak..lol hopefully will help a bit...
other than that im not boiling the juice- im using poldiac/did .8ribbon 3 wraps- 0.6ohm and never burned juice before getting MBV which just gunked up super fast and made me wanna gag...it could be the add 1shot option i selected, because i never ran into this issue with my set ups or other liquids before- thanks everyone...
will go back to the drawing board lol, plenty of pg and vg available on hand:p

Love that charm. :) Is it from AiV?
Yup! From one of my full-size bottles, Twas Brillig I believe.


Any tips/hints for their coconut? First day out of the box it had a nice light coconut flavor. Now almost a week later I picked it up again and it still has a nice coconut scent, but smells and vapes very plasticy....
I can't speak to coconut in particular, but I can say that I've noticed a plasticy taste with my last batch of juice, which coincided with me moving from 65/35 to 50/50. I'm thinking it has to do with the higher VG content and the taste is either the VG itself, or the fact that the juice is just going to take longer to steep this way and it's not there yet since the higher VG will also raise the steep time. I'm hoping it goes away with more steeping (or another couple hour long baths in the UC). Even my whipped cream, which I loved at 65/35 +1 6mg nic, tastes like paste at 50/50 +1 0nic. :( And here I thought the extra VG would enhance the creamy notes in it. *shrug*

What's the PG/VG ratio on the juice you got?


Has anyone noticed the total lack of throat hit on their sour flavors? I have been using 12 mg nic for a while now and last month I got some Sour Yum at 12 mg and no throat hit at all! This month I got some Tropic Thunder at 12 mg and no throat hit! I had seen they have some flavoring called CAPSICUM that says it can increase throat hit.

Has anyone ever tried this and how does it affect the taste of the juice?
Capsicum = Pepper (as in the vegetable, not black pepper) so it should increase the throat hit in the same way pepper would.


Edited to add: My free sample is gingerbread which I have not tried yet. Too funny, my order today included eggnog, gingerbread, and gingerbread chai from my other vapemail from Ginger's Ejuice. Christmas in July!
Ooooh GINGERBREAD. :wub: Do tell once you've had time to sample it. I love a good gingerbread. I have The Plume Room's Iced Gingersnap right now and it's pretty good but definitely not an ADV for me. Did you request that flavor, or was it the one they sent by default?

I was planning to order some more stuff soon but waiting on Hawk Sauce to come back in stock. I think there's gonna be a wild stampede heading for their gates as soon as that yummy-ness is back in stock!! :p

DV does not have a store front, but next day service is almost as good. I would get that too, if it weren't for the Brain Trust USPS :laugh:

Congrats on the MVP, enjoy the new mod :thumb:

"Brain Trust USPS". That was good. They do have a serious issue with geography. I placed an order from back east and it went through Hawaii! I guess the package needed a vacation. On the positive side, my devices are well traveled.

Please share :)

Yes! Please!!!


My bet is they are talking about Custards last stand at nicoticket

*touches her nose and points at you*

Yup yup, I went snooping. That would be my guess as well! ;)

Sorry all. I had to go to bed after the last post. I couldn't stay up any longer. Yes the answer was given, but if you want any other information feel fre to PM me, or just look around in various sections. The answer you seek is easy to find :2cool:

Cheriepie- my coconut is actually 80pg/20vg as I got it before I realized 80pg typically hurts my throat, but sometimes a lil stronger is ok or mixed in. Smells a lil less plasticy today after sitting with the cap off all night, so maybe thats the trick. I'm gonna leave it off all day because I absolutely love coconut and want to vape this like nao.

So I asked for Coconut Cream Pie @ 6mg 65/35 for my sample on the 22 and got it but it is 12mg and I just cannot vape it. if anyone is interested in a swap that has 6 or 0 mg lemme know. I prefer bakery flavors but Im open to suggestions. I figured I would offer it up here first cuz you all show so much love.
