Tank is Gurgling with a Tight Draw

I'm not familiar with the Smoktech PBC, but it looks similar to the Protank and what you're describing sounds like flooding. You might try doing what you can to clear the excess from the coil and center tube, make sure all the parts are snugged together without overtightening, and try using a higher voltage/wattage?
Yeah, sounds like you over filled and/or flooded the coil head. May be able to vape through it to clear it out. With my atomizer, when filled the atomization chamber can get flooded if not filled correctly, so I just take slow easy hits, while pushing as many watts as possible to vape out the excess juice. If all else fails, drain the tank into a bottle or just out, then vape it until it's all cleared up, then refill being carefull not to over fill and flooding the coil head.
You can also try taking the atomizer off and blow through the stem into a tissue, this can help clear out the flooded juice.

Thanks, guys! I actually took it apart last night to find a lot of leaking onto the battery. I cleaned up, blew out the center tube of the coil head, and was good to go for the evening. Never had that much leaking with my Protank, nor did I have flooding. Guess I need a better tank!

It is not necessarily an issue of tank quality.
If I get in my car today and feel colder than I did yesterday, it's not necessarily because there's a problem with the car. It could mean that I need to adjust the thermostat because it's colder outside the car today.
If my food is ruined, it may not be a problem with the oven. It could be that drying fruit needs to be done at a lower temperature than cooking a frozen pizza.
Vaping equipment, similarly, requires some adjustments from time to time.
The number of wicks I need in a Protank, for example, varies by juice. The number of watts I need varies by juice. If I get dry hits or a burned taste, it's probably because the juice isn't wicking to the coil fast enough to match the heat. I may remedy this by removing a flavor wick and/or turn the power down. If the atomizer floods or juice leaks on the battery, it may be something I can remedy by adding some wick back on or turning up the power. Over time, I think you'll find that small adjustments like these can fix a lot of the problems people sometimes attribute to "faulty equipment."
Well, unfortunately, I have done all that I can to attempt to remedy the problem and I believe that it is just a bum device. It floods more than any tank or clearo I have and, in comparison, it is just not a keeper. But thank you.
