Why does my ego cc sound like I'm sucking liquid thru a straw?

Having used mine just a few times so far, the only advice I might be able to offer is to check that the ring that holds the atomizer in place is screwed all the way in. I noticed I had a lot of gurgling (way more than I would expect, though I don't think I'd describe it as empty glass type), and tightened that connection up and it seemed to help. Sometimes, even when I'm SURE I have everything tight, I get way more gurgling and spattering than is reasonable (for example, right after I filled it this afternoon). It may be an issue of over-filling, but it was certainly unpleasant.

Not normal... First thing I'd check is the coil unit and the base that holds it. Sometimes when unscrewing to fill, it loosens the coil base. Take the battery off, then unscrew where you fill and check the tightness of the base/coil unit. You might also eyeball the wicking in the spike. the top of the wicking should be visible inside the spike. Tighten everything and try again.... If no joy, then contact the vendor.

I have six of them and haven't had any gurgles. I do get the characteristic Joye Type A atomizer snap, crackle-pop which I actually like the sound of. How a gurgle happens other than possibly what has already been said is beyond me since gurgling is usually due to juice getting in the air tubes running through the center of the clearo but the ego cc doesn't have an air tube... that is if you mean the real ego cc and not the one like a CE4 called that.

Good point. The ego ce4 kit is sometimes called the ego-cc.... I like the snap/crackle/pop too :)
