Been finding this a good way to clear my mini nautilus from constant gurgling . Turn it upside down fire it twice for 2 seconds. Is it ok to do this quite regularly ?

it's bottom fed, I know if I do that with my V2's more than a couple times..ACK!
To fix a flooded atomizer take your tank off the battery and blow through the mouthpiece (with a paper towel under it). This will drain the extra eliquid.
When you inhale, take a long smooth draw vs a short sharp draw. This will prevent extra eliquid from being pulled into your coils and flooding it. Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette
Whenever you first sense that your atomizer is beginning to flood try this:
1. Open up the airflow so when you take a hit you are not pulling in as much juice into your coils (if your tank has airflow control) .
2. Raise your voltage or wattage if your battery allows you to do this. This will vaporize more eliquid.
3. Tip your battery up (and take a few hits). By tipping it up you will prevent more eliquid from being fed into the coils.
Give one or all of these a try.

Been doing all these things. I draw very gently for 6 seconds. After 3-4 hits its gurgling again. Take drip tip off flick it downwards. Stick paper towel down to dry out. Then fire twice upside down. It works then 3-4 hits are good then gurgling again. Getting a bit annoying having to do this over and over.
You may have a crack in the threads of your Pyrex tank. Mine did that and I swore there was no crack, but when I removed the top cap, a crescent shaped piece of glass was broken out of the threads and concealed under the metal cap. I bought a new Pyrex tube at a B&M for $7.99 and that restored my vacuum seal. It's worth a try to unscrew the tank and inspect it for cracks.
Juice feed depends on vacuum in the tank. Lose the vacuum and the juice drains down into the wick and causes grief. Those little bubbles you see rising in the juice are a result of drawing juice as you vape. Vacuum sucks air through the wick to equalize the pressure.
Another possibility is the white silicone seals at the top and bottom of the tank. A small tear will break the vacuum seals.
