New to building, question

[Ompa]

So I only recently got into building and wicking my own coils. So far I've been using the Pharaoh and loving it. No dry hits, leaking or gurgling but I have noticed I only get "bubbles" out of one side of the JF after a vape. Is this normal or am I wicking it wrong. I guess its not a real issue since I get great flavor with no other issue like dry hits or leaking but I don't want to start bad habits early on that might carry over

Thanks for reading

I usually only get one side that bubbles too. I've never had an issue as long as at least one of the juice holes is wicking.

Juice gets used, air has to replace the space left behind. It doesn't matter which side it uses to get there.

Yeah, I like it when the bubbles come from both (or all) sides, but it doesn't always happen.

Its normal. Tgr bubbles will go out on tge high side.

Bubbles are good. It means all is sealed and drawing properly. It's when I don't see them I get nervous.

I only get bubbles on a new wick.

If your wick is really moist when you reload, don't worry if none are observed..

Maybe you're just not looking hard enough. If there's juice coming out, there has to be air coming in somewhere to replace it. Otherwise the juice would not be able to leave the tank and you'd be getting dry hits on every pull. If not through the wick/juice-flow ports, then maybe it's slipping in past a bad o-ring seal, or something. Do your tanks leak a lot?

Even on a tank like my top air, top fill OBS Engine, which doesn't even have a jfc, I still get bubbles. As @bwh79 pointed out, the pressure has to equalize or you'll get no juice feeding the wick to the coil.
