I've had the EXACT same problem with one of mine and couldn't figure it out...and did what any slightly nerdy, science guy would do....I scoured EVERYWHERE for info...
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.
4. Decrease your draw on the EVOD.....I was sucking on the thing like I was trying to get a golfball through a hose....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 TOWITH IT!
ONE MORE THING I forgot to mention....
Thank you for the tips and info!
I'm thinking the bolded one might be the issue. I haven't messed with it yet today, but I think I've covered all the rest and that one makes sense. The threads on this one are ever so slightly wonky and I've been screwing it on pretty tight to make sure it doesn't leak on me. That could very well be the problem. Thanks again!
Thank you for the tips and info!
Thanks again!
AND ONE MORE THING......Kanger just replaced the old EVOD heads with the pro tank heads. My son has a protank and I've tried the draw.....VERY airy...HOWEVER...I'm not sure if they re-designed them or not, but the new heads that came with my mini seem to have a draw somewhere between the EVOD and the regular protank. I personally REALLY like it
Not as tight as the EVOD, not as airy as the protank. I just bought a pack of them and plan on replacing the EVOD coils with them. Just some more useless info........
I vape 12mg 50/50 during the day and haven't noticed a plastic flavor to any of my juices. Every time I've noticed a plastic taste to my juices, the fault has been 2 clearos. Once I changed the clearo, the juice was fine (and I dumped the "plastic" tasting juice...didn't want to risk vaping it). I hope it is just a steeping issue for you.... 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.
Whoa, first time I've ever seen this thread slip to page 2!
Yeah, this EVOD is just being cantankerous. It's a tad better since I loosened the base, but still much harder to draw on than all my others. Guess I'll add a handful to my next MBV order! I need more colors anyway.
I seriously want to try the various moo based juices. lol
I still haven't tried any of my new MBV juice except for butterscotch. I've got to get a more efficient sampling method than waiting for clearos to empty. That Afternoon Delight and the Ocean Breeze roonie-tunes sent me (thank you roonies! XOXO) are calling my name.

Is that because they are OOS on so much? I hope that is the reason.
That was my thought as well. Everyone is bummed because all their favorites are OOS.
James must be busy as a cat covering up, because I haven't even seen him "like" anything in a long time!

James hasn't been around for a very very long time now.
And there have only been drive-bys by so many others, myself included, but my reasons is because i'm busy
Maybe thats all it is as well.
My iTaste SVD, cylone clone, and battery cases are in San Francisco. . . hopefully vapemail Friday.
im sorta in vaping limbo right now... got a fresh order of MVB in, some of my faves... i put root beer in my protank and it is OFF THE HOOK rootbeer flavor bomb! holy crap, if every juice were this flavorful! i chain vaped 2 tankfuls.
and now... it must be vaper's tongue. yesterday was worse, today a little better... cant taste any other juice. i can smell the exhale tho. i went ahead and stuck my old Blu carto's on there since it dont mean a damn, i might as well not waste anything good. however, the exception to the rule is ROOT BEER- its still exceptionally strong, sweet, amazing. im afraid to keep vaping it tho!

I have a question for the MBV fans about Freckled Lemonade and America(berry lemonade?) specifically.
I like the Freckled lemonade, I just wish the strawberry was a little more pronounced, to me it's about 75% lemonade and 25% strawberry. Is the America flavor like this too or is it a more balanced mix of the berries/other fruit and the lemonade?

Yup, caps off for 24 hours is definitely step one in most recommended steeping processes (including my own), so I'm glad to hear that helped out.

I'm pretty sure it's just a steeping thing as they haven't been loaded into any tanks or clearos yet, just tasted using 2 different dripping attys. They've been for 2 hour long baths in the ultrasonic, which in the past has always been enough for most of my MBV juices at 65/35. These ones, all at 50/50, not so much. So I think they're all gonna take another bath today. They have a good flavor overall, but just that sorta plasticy aftertaste I'm not digging. In the whipped cream, it definitely comes thru as a paste. Ick!
How long of a steep do your MBV 50/50 juices usually need? I'm guessing they're usually more of a 3-4 week steep than the usual 2 weeks they usually matured at in the 65/35 blend. The flavors by the way are Johnny Chimpo, Almond Delight, Jamaican Rum, Afternoon Delight, and as already mentioned, Whipped Cream.
Thanks!

Very impressed so far with these guys. I ordered with USPS shpping and they actually managed to get it to me the day before I was expecting it (shipped across country from WA to NC). Great experience for my first order!
I just put some week steeped Freckled Lemondade in my DID and it is delicious! I usually only vape tobacco blends but this is a fantastic summer vape.
Flavor west opens today or tomorrow hopefully that means OOS stuff comes back real soon.
For those looking for a grape flavor.. Give Surprise Grape a try!
I finished my 15ml in less than 3 days using my IGO-L RDA. Ordered a 100%VG, 3 flavor shots, 6mg of nic. Addicting smooth yummy flavor!

just placed my first MBV order, Blood orange, and razzleberry both 65/35 with extra flavor shots. I hope they have plenty of flavor, because I usually have trouble tasting some juices.
Ill probably try a little of each, but let them steep a few days.
how do you guys usually steep? cap off for a few hours then recap and set away for a few days?

Have you tried any of their other lemonade flavors, and if so, did you like them as well? I really enjoyed their Cherry Limeade, but didn't enjoy their Melonade at all. It has a "sour" taste to it that comes across as more chemically for me. Also found this same unappealing flavor in their Sour Yum. I want to try more of their lemonade flavors, but worried it may have that same element I'm trying to avoid.
I usually do two 1-hour runs in the UC (with hot tap water) which takes them pretty far in the steeping process. I will notice some juices continue to mellow/blend and change color for anywhere from 3 days to a week more. Most of the single flavor juices I vape (Root Beer, Key Lime, Ice flavors, etc) don't change after the UC treatment. It's only the more complex juices (Hawk Sauce, Thug Juice, bakery flavors, etc) that continue to develop. The other difference between our juices is that I now order the flavorings for my favorites and mix my own juice, and I purchase 15ml bottles of new flavors. If something has changed in the quality of the PG, VG, or nic MBV uses, I might not be able to pick it up right away since I am vaping unfamiliar flavors when I order the juices.....

Whipped Cream is the only flavor we share in common from your list. Mine doesn't have a plastic aftertaste, and it is 12mg 50/50. I hope more steeping does the trick for you.
