This thing is making me frustrated. Between overdosing on nicotine yesterday and getting juice in my mouth tonight. Time for a Marlboro!
I really want this thing to work and be consistent. I'm tired of smoking. [emoji19]
It's not helping me the past 48 hours. I was down to 3-6 cigs a day since I got it. Tonight I'm at 6 already. Booooo

Honestly those kind of clearomizers are just bad about that. Sometimes you get lucky, but they just have a tendency to gurgle. I would suggest an Aspire Nautilus Mini. They have easily replaceable coils, so you only buy the body one time. Here's a picture of one on a Vision Spinner...

Lucky! I've never been able to make an eGo-type battery last more than three months. The switch fails EVERY SINGLE TIME.

btw nautilus is good, but my full size one leaked all the time. dont know about the mini. i have an aerotank now, never leaked yet

Interesting... I only use RBA's, so idk. I googled "best clearomizer" and the aspire seems to be the winner by a large margin for the most part.

It's my first time trying this vape thing. No luck trying to quite smoking any other way. I bought the spinner 2 and the Vaporotics Solo. Both came with the same tank thing.
The first day I had them I smoked 6 cigs. That is awesome! I was smoking 20-30 a day. So being that I only smoked 6 is really great. I had big expectations for these after that day (last Thursday). You know what is said about expectations though!!!! They only let you down .

It's not uncommon for the first few weeks or more to be spent finding a setup that works dependably for YOU. Vaping is a very subjective experience, so while we can make recommendations, ultimately you will find what works on your own. Once you find a setup that you find satisfying though... That's what REALLY gets you to the point of "I don't need a cigarette".

Good luck!

The clearo you have, does not have a replaceable coil. It's a throw away item.
Also, while it could be due to over filling, lack of vacuum, or just not being placed on the battery properly, most gurgling for new users is due to improper draw.
These are not cigarettes and while the use is basically the same, you have to learn to draw on these a bit gentler than you are use to.
Your drags can be longer, just don't try to suck it down as hard as you can.

Better clearos are out there, even some cheaper ones that will work better, with replaceable coils.

Down let one bad experience bring you down... you went down to 6 cigs on your first day, so you have seen for yourself that this can work. Sure, it can be frustrating when the thing is not consistent, but keep your hopes up. Here are some theories (followed by some pointers):

- Cheap tanks do have problems
- Atomizers (coils) can fail
- Condensation can ruin your vape
- Higher PG % liquids are more liquid than higher VG % liquids
- Parts need to be finger tight.

In the end, you'll have to try a few things to settle this problem:
- Blowing through the bottom air hole
- Press the button for 1-2 seconds a couple of times without putting your mouth to the tip
- Set it upside-down on a paper towel for a couple of minutes
- Make sure the air holes are clear
- Take everything apart and rinse under warm water, but do not let water into the coil for now (get familiar with the device before rinsing the coil or attempting to clean it) and make sure there is not leftover water in the air holes (just blow through them hard enough)
- Using a pipe cleaner through the drip tip clears a lot of excess juice and moisture build up
- Changing the atomizer (coil) could fix the issue, some are just bad out of the box or become weak (how much have you been vaping?)
- Look for cracks in the tank... some juices could cause that
- Make sure the air actually comes through the air holes... not enough air means you will flood the coil
- If you got it from a shop, go back and ask for help
- Buy a genuine Aspire tank. Don't have to go for a Nautilus yet, but if you do get the mini (no problems here while I did have a couple of issues at first with the regular) The BVC coils work much better than the DBC coils.
- Find out the exact tank model and start a new thread with the model in the title to attract people who had the same problem

That`s all I can think of right now, but already a lot to try... only do one thing at a time to see what fixes it. We all had to go through the learning curve and a lot of people will still smoke about 6 cigarettes a day for 6 months before being freed totally.

Alot of us have been down that road; stuff seems to work for a while, then you realise you need something better / more reliable.

1 thing - bottom coil clearos do tend to flood and gurgle more when the liquid gets low; keeping them more than half full helps.

the coil also leaks more the longer you use the same coil.

Looks like a ce4 that someone I know is using and still likes them.
Be careful not to over fill and don't get liquid down the centre tube.
Turn upside down and burn the juice and let it drip out , take the tank off and blow through it.
I used one for the first week then my nautilus arrived but the person who is still using them has been fine , waiting for replacements to arrive as they have reached the end of their life span.

Dont fret though, chances are any problem your having many others have had the same and they will provide fixes and suggestions on improvements.

I'm a semi-noob too, and I own an aspire nautilus but I actually prefer my aerotank so far. The nautilus has to be primed (just with bvc or bdc coils too, guys? Not sure which I have) and I just over-primed mine since I am new to it and got a lot of flooding. Uck. I find aerotank more compatible with my lack of experience, it seems less complicated and I never really had to prime it. Guess there is a learning curve and now that I have a nautilus there is more to learn...

Lots of good advice in this thread, but one of the most overlooked things was already mentioned in the comments.

It's a natural reaction to tighten the tank when it begins to gurgle. Don't do it. Over tightening has the potential to create the problem, or if not make it worse. So if it starts to gurgle, clear it out, then just gently get it snug it and release.

I have 4 single coil EVOD's, none gurgle with this method for me.
