1. I wanted to ask the best way to prevent gurgling.


2. What I do is take out the atomizer and blow it out really hard on top of a tissue. Would this have any negative effect on the tank?

3. Some of my mech mods and built in batteries are wet on the connecting post due to the leakage. I also realized the built in battery ecig have a sticky activation/power button. Would this deep leakage somehow short the ecig?

Without knowing what atty you're talking about - one has to guess.

1. I wanted to ask the best way to prevent gurgling.
Assuming a typical clearo, which is a "pressure differential" atomizer - you have a wick "seal" which, with the juice you're using (that may or may not be relevant) is wicking a bit too effectively, causing an excessive amount of juice to accumulate in the atomization chamber of the atty.
It may be that you simply have a poorly designed atomizer, or you've somehow obtained low quality coil head replacements... or you've removed a flavor wick, creating a gap in the wick retainer slot, allowing juice to flow past.
Please read the article located via the above hyperlink for more information on how this occurs and possible ways to rectify it.


2. What I do is take out the atomizer and blow it out really hard on top of a tissue. Would this have any negative effect on the tank?
It would have a negative effect only if you covered the venting system (air hole) of the atty... which would force out the desirable tank vacuum, replacing it with positive pressure.
If you are simply blowing through the positive pressure side of the atty, which is the atomization chamber, air tube and coil head assembly with the intent of clearing excess juice, then no, you are not doing anything wrong.


3. Some of my mech mods and built in batteries are wet on the connecting post due to the leakage. I also realized the built in battery ecig have a sticky activation/power button. Would this deep leakage somehow short the ecig?
Only if they are of poor quality. eGo type batteries, which is what I must assume you mean by "built in", have a seal under the 510 contact pin which should prevent juice from passing into the works of the battery.
