Hi peeps, bit of a strange question but I hope people can help me. I love rta's and the way they vape but I've recently got the tfv8 and I've tried over and over to wick this dam thing lol. It's gurgling as I take a hit. And I mean from the minute I hit the fire button to the moment I stop it's gurgling or cracking shall I say. No dry hit or nothing but just feel it's not right. I've tried putting my wick tighter looser a bit tight u name it I've tried it. Putting more and less cotton in the wicking holes. I always have to put my wicks super tight in my other rta's to stop this but this one is just not having it. I've watched loads of videos and no one has tight wicks and when they are vaping it its quiet as a mouse. Please can someone give me clue to what's going on. Thank you

Are you using the prebuilt coil that comes in the rts base? Make sure its glowing from the inside out also make sure the cotton is just short enough to sit inside the wick holes but not too long where it blocks the holes on the bottom where the juice flows in. What pg/vg ratio are you using?

80vg I use and yes yes all the basics have been done. I think it you don't do all what you have just said first then you shouldn't even be building. You can't leave wick holes open on this one you have to fill them up trust me watched all the reviews and it's not like the griffin 25 or Crius plus or Gemini plus. It's more like the aspire cleito rta system that it needs plenty of cotton.
