I have no doubt you all will get me there...I still am trying to get the basics down but I am close...my tank is gurgling I assume I have some juice in my tip, how do I fix this? I haven't even touched the wattage yet, the airflow is very confusing I guess I just have to mess with it until I find the right spot lol
I will guess the coil is flooded. Try increasing the wattage for a few hits and see if it dries up.

Funny thing is this just started when I added the pg 50/50 mix, what should I turn it up to to try and dry it out? If that doesn't work I'll take the coil out just making sure I do that right to, obviously by now you know I am overly cautious

Sorry stupid question, my tank is full, I can turn it upside down to pop out the coil and check right?

If you tank is Completely Full, then if you turn it Upside Down and Pop the Coil Head out, you might want to do that over the Sink. Cause the Excess e-Liquid is going to pour down the Center Tube.

BTW - There is One Down Side to a Top Fill Tank.

And that is you can Fill the Tank with enough e-liquid so that if you Need to unscrew the Base from the Tank, you're going get e-Liquid pouring out of the Center Tube.

This Isn't and Issue when your Set-Up is running good. But I tell people that on a New Build with the RBA Section, or when you put a Replace the Coil Head, only fill the Tank about 1/3 of the way.

That way if you have to Unscrew the Base to Adjust the Coil/Cotton, you don't make a Big Mess.

Once things are Running Smooth, you fill your tank to the Top.

Turn up the wattage; instead of 25 try 27 or 30.

Sounds like it's flooded. Do you have a Subtank Top Fill and using the RBA mode? In this event a syringe will help save you the juice and then you can go about disassembling your tank. If you are using the RBA, it's flooding because there's not enough wick, or perhaps the juice holes were not fully covered up.

I have a top fill and I am using the red coil it came with .5 I think, the guy walked me thru setup on the phone. I unscrewed the coil it came with and screwed in the red coil, put a drop on each side and two in the top while tilting. I left for an hour and came back and used it, my screen reads 25w and 0.63 and below that 0.00v I have no idea what any of this means except for the wattage. I filled it from the top, to the top as per his instructions. It was working well until I topped off my liquid with the 50/50 blend which actually made it taste a thousand times better. A little bit ago I flipped it upside down opened the base and a bunch of liquid came out. I cleaned my tip and the inside of the thread and this is where I am at, gurgling and spitting I assume when it's running right it's not supposed to make any of these noises.

Ok thank you, I tried the instructions per the video, I do this with my vape pen and it works but not this one. I took the tip off and there was a ton of liquid in there, I flipped it now and lots came out but when I tried it again same thing happened. I can physically see the liquid in the air holes, under the tip is now clean but no matter how many times I try the trick from the video it's still gurgling I guess I'll have to let it sit overnight if that doesn't work I'll have to take it into a store cause I have no idea what else to do. I am also going thru liquid really fast so I think I must be doing everything wrong

one thing to keep in mind if there is juice in the base is when you are installing coils, make sure that the silicone o ring under the coil (above the threading) is in place - and when you are tightening it down, don't over-tighten it, it can deform that o ring and allow leaking... just something to be aware of, sister

I wanted to say thank you to whomever told me about the various settings if you fail to click the mod 5 times within 2 seconds, this happened to me the first time I took my device out of the box and set it up, I was grateful to know this. Also I wish the jerks at the shop I was going to would have told me that a sub ohm coil basically doubles the nicotine I was using, thanks to dcfluegel I figured it out, for the last week I was experiencing flushed hot face, rapid heart rate (got up to 166!) dizziness and couldn't sleep, turns out I was using too much nicotine, I could have seriously harmed myself. Never did I think that mixing the 6 mg with the 3 mg would have caused this reaction but it did and it took me getting 0 nicotine and asking some questions to figure it out. I feel soooooo much better, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I now appreciate this forum and advice from experienced vapors that much more.... That being said, what are the other two coils in the kit? One has a blue band and the other black. What is the difference between these coils and the one I am using? (.5 red band)
