so I wake up this morning and start to vape on the same setting as I have since I got it which was only been a week. I kept it stored vertically so drip tip sticking up usually I keep it on it's side. so I start to vape and it was producing less vapor. I assumed it was just cold as I have this issue daily when waking up and vaping after class since the classroom is very cold. However I am hearing and feeling this weird bubbly feeling when vaping. it feels like excess juice that hasn't been vaped. basically think of chocolate milk in a glass and you put a straw in it and blow air into it. it feels like that.

PS- just tried it again and it is working fine and the bubbly feeling/sound is gone. why does it do this though? first time I've had this issue. typically it isn't so excessive but this morning took in a few hits maybe like 8 all had this problem.

Flooded coil.

Since you left it vertical, when there is a temperature change, and the temperature rises, pressure builds up in the tank, and pushes liquid to the coil

bottom coil tanks are better stored upside down for this reason

ahh I see. I saw a video on this somewhere but it made no sense to me as they didn't explain why we had to store it that way but just to store it that way. thanks it is working fine. will store it upside down from now on. is it still okay to store on it's side?

should be ok on it's side, you will find out from experience if your's happens to leak when on it's side.

most times when on the side, one wickhole ends up upward and the other downward, and the air pressure tends to find a way to remain equalized.
