If you hear a slight gurgle, sometimes I will softly blow down the drip tip a few times and it clears it up especially if it's just a little bit of juice or condensation. If it's a lot of gurgling from an overfill, you may just have to vape through it for it to go away.
Shiny new Halon!!!..well will be next week at least

Slave's virginal morning <update>
Hopped out of bed n nabbed the bat out of the charger. opened dresser drawer containing the two prepped tanks, put em in my case. Paused, usually do my first morning analog on by drive in to work, decided ok will hit the Triton first smoke break at work deciding maybe first time while driving might be to much (this would prove rather prophetic) <fast forward>
First break, nab Halo case n head out to the break area. Open it up, errrrrr ok what was my system last night for distinguishin my two different juices errrrrr dammit was Mystic the one with tip cover or was that Menthol Ice gaaaah oh well I'll figure it out next refill.
Fluff seat cushion to make nice n soopar comfy for this moment of awesomeness. Quickly poke my power button 5 times, eyes sparkle with the perdy green of my powah button comin to life, thissssssssssss isss goooonnnnnna be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Review in my head what I know, k 1 second prepuff before the power button <check> 4 to 5 second slow pull (not like a cig ya noob <check> nuther 1 second pull with finger off the power <check> leeeets do dis!
Begin my pre-power up-puff.....oh hey my Triton whistles.......must bring that up in forum (counts one-one thousand in head)
Poke the power button n marvel at my light saber glow, remind myself keep dis to mouth inhale (i'm pretty confident I know what this means) countin in my head one-one thousand, two one thousand (my cheeks are beginning to resemble a chipmunk) three one thousand........suddenly the cross between a hiccup and a cough-sneeze hybrid grips me thereby tossing what till now I am sure is a soopar professional mouth inhale with cute chipmunkface, I have gasped the vapes in my mouth involuntarily (oh disss tastes very very good, this is nummy......errrrr why does my tongue feel like a frozen cottonball) my throat is seized by minty icey hell that quickly transfers to my chest, inexplicably I am still attempting to count in my head between what have now become full blown pot head coughing, again inexplicable I am still attempting to maintain the explained technique time line......my smokers lungs betray me......trying to maintain a steady inhale, for what to this point should be 6 seconds......falls apart, my right eyeball develops an inexplicable twitch, for some reason wheezals 8-bit pixels pop in me head chanting CHOO CHOO!!!!! I jerk my finger off the power button, then curse (ya foorgooooooooot the one second follow thruuuuuuuuuu) attempting to re-engage my drip tip to remedy this results in rapid fire coughs that make sparklies appear, for some reason one side of my tongue feels like sand paper while I am pretty sure I have lost feeling of the other. Remembers Ms Angi's advice tellin me to put dis down that it wont burn...proceed to cough like I have taken my epic .... hit after a junior high school dance.
After cough/tears/sparklies and small amount of streaming boogers subsides....I raise me shiny emerald Triton feeling somewhat betrayed (somewhere in the back of my head wheezal is sayin sagely, ya shud have took dee booz) I notice my prior full tank has gone from 2.4 to right around the 2.2 line errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I sit n ponder, reflect (contemplate the random sparkly that floats by in my vision) what could I have done differently, I had this down man (I knew what went wrong but I was in denial) I freeeeakin hit it like a damn cig, like poooooooooooooowah drag <facepalm> translating SLOW to take SLOW HOOVER LIKE DRAG
Armed with this knowledge breakthrough (cracks neck) lets do dis!!
Begin prep-puff TENTATIVELY...no whistle, good sign (tho slightly disappointing I kina like the note)
hit the power button, count in my head, trying to maintain soopar skeered steady puff, so far so good no throat seizing/chest debilitating cough-sneeze (stop short of the professional mouth inhale chipmunk face)
finger off nuther second of the puff....k I got dis dude!!
Hold da vape in my mouth as instructed....why is there suddenly a Cujo amount of slobber in my mouth, put this problem to back of my head for now. after 2 second pause begin my nose exhale. Again inexplicably my right eye begins to twitch and my nose suddenly feels like I have run outside buck .... nekkid in the middle of December instantaneously freeze drying boogers along the way, slow gentle exhale has morphed into a very ticked off puff the magic you have peed in my cherrios esque the dragon stream of vapor.....again I look at my shiny emerald Triton feeling again slightly betrayed. No coughing +1 (Borat high five)
Pause for another minute per Ms Angi's advice. Cracks fingers, neck, makes tough guy nose sniff, dis time we are gonna rock this!
Begin pre-puff, hit the power button after baby puff. Have thrown dis counting crap out the window, very gentle puff till I feel the onset of soopar cute professional chipmunk face, let off power button, slight puff. Hold for about second and begin mah exhale (for some reason Wheezal is in the back of my mind at this point singing "Hits from the Bo...you know the song) SUCCESS!! I jump up preparing to launch into the soopar excited pygmy whoop when suddenly the earths axis has flipped (wuh da FAQ!!) ohhhhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this is da ya noob ya over nic'd moment geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo Slave has learned
1) We may need to dial down nic level, but too soon to tell
2) Choo choo whistle (tho very entertaining) is bad
3) Counting in your head is overthinkin, we will pause before chipmunk face n calls it good
4) Pretty sure we had Mystic one and it is ssssssssoooooooooooooper nummy, tryin Ice next go

i use a bit of masking tape with 2 letters writtin in a sharpie on it, to label my tanks.
Some people... like Miss Evie are over achievers....
Pretty Picture of a part of Miss Evie's collection;
notice her sexy p-touch label jobs on each tank

Past couple of rounds with what I think is Menthol Ice have gone pretty good. Much more mellow for my newby technique. Tho this tank makes a very subtle click/pop couple times occasionally. Are slight noises pretty common? I got the tank on tight on the battery, pretty sure I got the coil tightened down.
To tight can be bad actually, it restricts the air flow into the two air holes at the base of the tank, where air comes in around the threads where the tank screws into the battery. To tight on that.. and you can make your draw a bit hard. Loosen it just enough that is almost wiggles, but not wrenched down hard. Play around with it, and you will find the sweet spot, through trial and error.
Thanks Zavri n Fallen. I was pretty sure it was a non issue as it didn't sound awful (def not as cool as the choo choo whistle of my first attempt) So far so good. Haven't smoked since this morning, with my modified technique suitable to my newby status only occasional tiny cough when hits to big or I attempt any type of lung inhale. Which is weird after 20+ years of smoking ya would think inhaling wouldn't be an issue lol
The particules of water vapor that carry the nic of the e-liquid into your body are a lot larger than the smoke particles from a cig. When you inhale you are trying to force them down in as far as you used to be able to take in the smoke. It wont work, that is where the cough comes from. Shallow lung inhale is as good as you should try for now. Treat it like a cigar... inhale to your mouth.. hold it.. take 10 to 30% of that to your lungs, exhale it all through your nose. All of this much slower than you would do with a cig.
bah, moar bad advice!
just freebase the delushus joos! stuff it into a turkey baster and inject it right into your pancreas! that's what i do and i turned out allright perfectly banana hoop!

OMG Slave I died laughing at your description of your first experience. 
Remember drink plenty of water because vaping is dehydrating and put it down between puffs.
Over the next several weeks you can expect some changes in your body.
1. Your sense of smell will return. OMG you'll love this. Think flowers, fruits, sweets, perfume and sensual delights.
2. Your sense of smell will return. OMG you'll hate this. Think sour, mildew, rotten, smokers and farts.
3. Your sense of taste will return and you will love how some things taste so much better and some others you liked won't taste as good.
4. The need to over salt or pepper your food will reduce because now you can actually taste your food.
5. Other subtle changes you will notice as well.
It's all good.
And congratulations on starting your journey into the world of vaping and leaving cigarettes behind.

Welcome to halon Nation...home of some of the very funniest and most willingly helpful people you'll EVER find. I see you've already met most of power-veterans! Expertly HILARIOUS description!! Mine was rather similar because in my haste, I filled and IMMEDIATELY hit my Triton....hard like a cig.....please don't EVER do that!! 
wretch, gag, cough, wheeze...I coughed so hard, I was expecting one of my SHOES to come out of my mouth!!! 
Very soon (in each's OWN time) cigs will taste like T-Total chit and you'll have quit completely out of disgust for what you once so craved! Hang in there and enjoy you're journey of discovery....it's awesome and exciting.....for finding your preferred vaping style and ADV (All Day Vape flavor)!!
BTW, +1 for the P-Touch here, as well (old photo....triple this for my current BOX of flavors loaded and ready to go)

I wish Halo would come out with some good cases with their awesome logo on it. OMG I can't wait for the new stuff they've teased us with to come out!! Gawd I'm getting excited again.
OMG I can't wait for the new stuff they've teased us with to come out!! Gawd I'm getting excited again. Rourke dude you so gave me case idea thanks!!!! I was just thinking today I wish the case was less bulky but want the logo like Ms Evie said. Yes Camaro, like you my first ever hit led to a very very Cheach n Chong esque coughing fit.
Day two update, already having the why the heck did I not make this switch LONG ago. So far no analogs today. Still cannot tolerate ANY form of lung inhale yet, I still cough if attempted so 100% mouth hit/nose exhales for me. I suspect this may be because I am a super menthol fan so I have added some non-menthol flavors to try on my to do list (Swedish fish being number 1) The realization that there was a Swedish fish flavor even possible led to a dumbfounded likely amusing moment if ya had been an external observer. To explain being a (with smoking aside, do not question this paradox it will save you headaches) I am a rather healthy person and do not eat much sugary stuff etc. However.........for Swedish fish I would likely slap carebears and sell my soul, think woody harrelson and his twinky quest in zombieland. soooooooooooo this segue into day two realizations......
1) slave needs more tanks for lotsa flavors because 2 just aint enough (my impatience management is almost non-existent)
2) I really did not understand the shear VAST flavor options in the universe, seriously the Swedish fish flavor option discovery left me blinking at the screen and picture of juice likely for full minute before any coherent thought resumed

I picked up one of those eGo clam style zipper cases in the large size. Has enough room for the 2 triton batteries with tanks, and the 2 other pouches can hold like 4 tanks a piece, or some 5-15ml bottles for on the go.
Actually bought it in that site's store in person, and I want to go back on friday to check out the medium and smaller sizes. Need something a little less bulky than the large.
