Noob here, a few questions

[jijiflats]

Hi all,

I've started vaping 3 days ago. I bought an alien smok 220W.

I would appreciate it if anyone could take a look at the following questions :
-is it normal that my device makes a gurgling sound while vaping ?
-is it normal that every time I vape there are condensation drops inside the tip ?
-is it normal that every day I notice small amounts of liquid seaping through the air vents ? (I've set the air vents wide open).

I have not yet changed any default settings of my device. vaping at circa 40-60 W.

Thank you !

Hi!

Try with higher watts to make the gurgling to away, and the other. The wick is probably over saturated.

With my tank I tilt the bottom of the mod up while vaping to clear a gurgle. If it's bad I remove the base and coil, blow out both. Maybe swab out the base.

As stated, increase wattage to eliminate gurgle.
Condensation is normal...warm vape hitting cool drip tip.
Wick is oversaturated. What tank are you using?

one trick for the condensation, i have the alien 220 baby beast kit myself, is to keep inhaling for a little bit after you've released the button. this works with most tanks. the gurgling is like the others have told you, too much juice on the coil, you can (with paper towel wrapped around the base) blow in through the driptip to help get rid of the excess, or you can run a q-tip down through the driptip as well to help absorb some of the excess, it will help a little.

Before filing the tank close the airflow.
