My New EVODs Gurgling...

[KingDjuls]

Just got two new Kanger EVODS recently. They both worked flawlessly for the first tank I put juice in, but now I keep getting a gurgling sound with a nasty BBQ like flavor... What exactly do I need to do to fix/prevent this? I am using 65 VG/35 PG juice.

Your responses are appreciated.

Thanks.

My Kanger Protank 2 started doing the same thing after the 2nd refill. I'm going to tear it apart in a little while and see if I didn't push the silicone piece down far enough or something.

I found this lady on Youtube who shows how to clean and burn the atomizer. Helped me get that nasty BBQ taste out of my EVOD. I still get the gurgling sound though, so not sure what the issue is there.

Here is the link though:

I'm no expert but here's some things to try.

Try a new atomizer head if you can, see if it's any different.

Possible wicking issue. Try taking out the top wick, or both. You only need the wick that has the coil on it in there but try just keeping one of the top wicks on.


Otherwise maybe you're filling it too high gettin' liquid in the air hole, or even there's too little juice in there.


Otherwise it would be helpful to know what voltage you're vaping at and what you're using.

Are you vaping correctly, long slow draws and not hard draws?

Maybe take the atomizer out of the base and blow through the air hole, could be fluid in there?

How's the weather there. Is it really hot. I've had issue in high heat conditions with certain liquids.


I don't know. Just some stuff to try from a novice

If they are the stock heads for either the evod or protank, kanger is cheap on the wicking and flavor wick. Either get a old top coil atty and cut the wicks off or use a new piece of 1mm wicking and replace the flavor wick with a longer one. The flavor wick should plug up the hole between the bottom of the silicone cap and the top of the wick inwhich is prolly why they are gurgling and leaking. I got several protanks and T3's and they don't gurgle nor leak.

In my experience once the coil is used it will clog making wicking slower and reducing the airflow.
What is happening you will get a tighter draw and this way you create a negative pressure inside the center
tube drawing liquid from the tank.
Solutions are:
1. dry-burning which is a toss , the taste will be affected to an extent and you have a good
chance to slightly char the rubber gasket and get some flavor alteration from that also.
Another nad thing that can happen it burning the coil if you let it burn too long.
I tried to use this method but honestly i hate the taste after this operation.
2. Replace the coil every 2-3 days. Once you learn to rebuild coils this is THE best solution.
Build coil form good silica and torch them before installing them. Taste is amazing.
3. Another fix I found is slightly enlarge the venting holes on the side of the atty , Original Kangers have 3 tiny holes.
I drilled one out with the smallest drill I could find and the draw became lighter eliminating the gurgle. This fix worked better
on Fasttech Evods.

I'm currently using an iTaste vv 3.0. I have the voltage set at 3.7 and wattage at 7.0.

I'm going to try taking out one of the wicks first and see what happens.

So I took one of the top wicks off and it eliminated the burnt taste I kept getting. Although, I am still getting the gurgling...

I live in a desert city so that could be the issue. Anyways, I'm not too worried. I can deal with the gurgling. Just not the burnt taste.

Mine did the same(Burnt tase), I just cleaned the EVOD by rinsing it in water - including the wick & atomiser. Dried and voila!
