subtank changing coils (gurgling)

[russo1989]

hi , i making this thread becouse i have a subtank mini for almost 2 month, but almost everytime i change my 0.5 coils it starts to gurgling, i wonder how this happen and why ? is it normal ? does that go away ? the vapor seems to be normal
but the noise is a little annoying, i always be carefull while changing but cant avoid this most of the time.

Have you tried replacing the o rings that it comes with? And your wick is properly blocking the holes on both sides of the atomizer? iif your not using the rba section

hello, thank you for the answer, never replaced the ring, can you tell me how or if it is easy to do that ? and i didnt understand how to wick can block the holes? didnt catch that part

Try priming a new coil/wick by adding 5 drop of e-juice before filling the tank.

What cloud chased is asking you is:
If you look at your coil you'll see air holes on the side of it. After you put your coil on when you install it on the tank make sure you can see the little holes in the coil in the notches inside the tank.

I concur priming sub ohms with a couple drops of juice will get your flavor into the cotton wick so you get a nice taste. Some people have told me that high PG content has caused gurgling and crackling sounds in their tank but that hasn't been my experience. The O ring or gasket that seals your tank can be found at some vape shops, online, or Lowes or Home Depot if you know the size needed for your tank.

I hope that helps. If you still don't understand I can PM you a link that will break it down for you.

If it ain't Gurgling and Popping, then you ain't doing it right!

i think i found the problem , i alternate with 2 brand new coils and i found out that one is gurgling and the other doesnt , this is normal to happen? i think it wasnt the first time , if the coils are new they suppose to work the same ? why this might happen ? the coils are not cheaper and i throwing away money with this situation...

If it's gurgly,
1) fluff up the cotton so that it covers up the holes properly.
2) don't suck too hard when vaping.
3) open up airhole so that you won't suck too hard, hence drawing more juice onto the cotton.
4) use a higher vg juice.

One or all of the above should solve it. If not, you would probably have to rewick it. Which you would get into when you go into recoiling.

Are you using the OCC coils or RBA

 

[LittleBird]

Russo, you are using stock coils (the ones you buy), right? They usually do pop a little bit - my experience is that they pop for the first tank of juice. Once the coil gets a bit of "gunk" on it, the popping will subside. There isn't anything wrong with the coil. Don't stress

I'm very new at this, but love this tank, not much luck with the OCC coils. In my uneducated opinion, the rebuildable part has work fantastic. There a a number of videos out there on how to do it.

OCC coils .. bought from store the 5 pack , its the second pack i bougth and i think some of the coils in the pack dont work so good like others

thank you .. nice to know that, in fact i think the noise is better after several hours vaping.. i think you are right, lets see after some more vaping

rebuildable you mean doing your own coils at home ? so its better to make your own coils ? can you tell me how i do that and what i need to do that like you ? and what are the risks of doing your own coils ? thank you and sorry for to many questions

You should watch MANY Youtube videos about rebuildings coils BEFORE even beginning to think about making coils.

There is a wealth of information in the rebuildable section of this forum too....but Youtube has some really good videos available.

Buy an ohm meter too...one of the most important tools to have.

Those OCC coils you're buying do snap-crackle-pop, their basically junk.

After they junk up a little it stops.

 

[inspects]

Or....you could buy an Atlantis tank, they have .5 coils which don't snap-crackle-pop.

They have never done it to me anyway.

aallright thank you, thats what i will do now , just three quick questions before i investigate , once you do rebuildable coils they are efficient at least like the stock coils ? and a ohm meter is expensive ? and they last the same time like the stock coils ? atlantis is good but almost everyone says subtank is way better

All the parts including the ohmmeter are CHEAP....very CHEAP.....

Building your own are much better than the OCC coils.
