Need some help!

[SnackPack210]

I recently purchased a cool fire 1 (came with a iclear30b) and an aspire bdc. The first day was awesome! Great hits, flavor, vapor. I was stoked! Since then I've had a hell of a time with "the gurggle" with both tanks. Some days are great, others not so much...
I have tried the "shake out" method, but the glugs come back after 1 or 2 draws. The vapor production decreases considerably with a harshness to the hit.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I can do to prevent this issue?

First off - Hi and Welcome to ECF

What is the PG/VG ratio of your juice? My guess would be it is a wicking problem - if thats not it then a bad head. Maybe crappy QC in manufacturing. You can try removing a flavor wick if you feel comfortable doing that... Flavor Wicks In Or Flavor Wicks Out - Thats The Question - YouTube.

Hope this bump gets you some more answers - good luck!!

Is that a variable voltage battery? I can make any BCC gurgle and spit if I run the voltage too high. That would also explain the harshness too.

Greetings, welcome to the forum.

There are a lot of variable involved in getting a consistently good vape; e-cigs obviously are not plug-and-play like cigarettes.

In addition to the things mentioned above, be mindful of good vaping technique, which is slow and steady, not hard 'sucks.' You might find it helpful if you start each vape with a half second or so of drawing on the E-Cig before you hit the fire button.

Here's an ECF sticky on the best technique for vaping:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html

Welcome SnackPack210 to ECF. Take everything apart. Wash out with hot water. I have the Aspire and I take a pipe cleaner and run it down the shaft using a circular motion to get water/e-liquid out. Let it dry. Re-assemble. Make sure everything is tight.

Thanks for te replies everyone! Coolfire is a solid 8.5 W. 3.7 volt I think.
I've tried banzai juice (50/50) and two peas in a pod juice (dot know the mixture). Both at 24 mg nic
I will buy a lower nic juice today to try to lessen the harshness a bit.
Could it be a bad coil causing the leaking/flooding?

Lowering the nicotine will for sure help the harshness. not sure about the gurgle, my iClear30b doesn't gurgle and vapes fine..
