So this has never happened to me, but my boyfriend is a fairly new vaper. He is using a Protank 2, 1.8 ohm and a vv kanger battery I think 1000 mah with 50/50 12 mg juice. .

So, twice now, in a 2 week period.

It seems like there is leakage, there is gurgling and no air. So I clean it all out, poke the air holes etc etc. And it is still the same, so I open up the coil to see the wick and like it's all messed up. The 2 flavour wicks are like squished and I can't even see them. At first it looked like they dissolved but I tried pulling them out and they were all bunched along the side of the coil, hidden pretty much. It is not burnt at all. He maybe used it for like an hour or two total vaping then this happens.

It seemed like this was the right place to ask this. But I'm not sure. So thanks in advance! :)

I've attached a photo :p Probably won't help, but oh well lol

Happens sometimes with factory coils. Poor positioning of the flavor wick is one potential cause of the leak. You can replace it with new. Factory is 2 1 mm silica flavor wicks, but when I rebuild mine, I replace that with a full strand of 100 % cotton yarn. Or just tease out sufficient cotton from a sterile cotton ball, swab, or ...

And pics always help :)
