What causes gurgling?

[silkyfurz]

My pv just began gurgling/rattling when I draw on it. Anybody know what I've done to it - or how to fix it?

sounds like youve overfilled it/flooded the atty.

Just don't put so much juice in it next time. You'll get the hang of it.

It's either because your atty is flooded, which you would fix by putting your mouth on the threaded end and blowing it out into a paper towel. Or there's some liquid/condensation trapped in your cart/mouthpiece. Take off the cart and inhale... does it gurgle without being attached to the atty? If so, you can stick a paper clip in the little hole that you inhale through and pull the end out, then there will be another piece with another little hole that you can pull out the same way. Then use a qtip or a rolled up corner of a paper towel to clean it all out of there.

This is all assuming you're using a 510 or similar.

Oh geez! I hate being so dumb! It's a Riva, and I think you're right, too much juice. I kept vaping on it and now the gurgling's stopped. I usually fill the cart until it pools and then blot the top with a paper towel. I'll blot deeper from now on. I was afraid I was hearing a death rattle!

Thanks guys!

As Born said, there is a learning curve. But you are in the right place to get your questions answered. Good vaping to you!!

Alot of people say to blow it out into a paper towel and that is very true except I have found it helps to fold the paper towel over so that you blow through the towel through the hole into the towel. Doing this keep the liquid from coming out the air holes into your mouth. just make sure your using a high quality papper towel so that you dont blow particles into the atty.
