So ive been trying to figure out how to fix this problem--and everything ive read, i tried, and nothing seems to be fixing it and i want to scream!!

Ive got an eleaf istick 40watt with an aspire stlantis tank. It consistently starts slurping, making bubbling noises like im drinking soda through a straw, and everytime it happens i try the various methods of fixing the problem--ive unscrewed everything, and cleaned it all out, ive tried blowing into it and emptying liquid out thru the airflow holes, etc... It sometimes fixes the problem for about a half hour, sometimes less. I cant seem to make it stop happening and is totally ruining the experience for me to the point where im ready to give up and go back to analogs. Im so tired of this happening and it ends with eliquid slurping into my mouth and a waste juice and paper towels and time and effort and i want to break the damn thing.

Is my tank just defective and leaky? Or am i not clearing it out correctly? Any advice or links to methods of solving the problem?

I want to cry and im cravingg my nicotine :(

Try a different coil. Also, what wattage and resistance are you vaping at? You might have the wattage up too high.

try a thicker liquid.


it is always a balance between
dry hits
or
flooding (gurgling)

with a couple of my tanks I always noticed it was fine upstairs in my house, but if I go downstairs where it's warmer (and quieter), I hear gurgling.

So I got in the habit of taking my rda downstairs instead. In that case, when I hear it start popping, it tells me that it's time to add some juice.

1: Bad coil, but you've already changed that right???
2: vacuum leak. Close off as much air flow as you can, put your fingers over what's still open and give it a pull....You should see bubbles come up AND you should draw a vacuum in the tank...If not its an air leak....drain, disassemble reassemble and make sure everything is good and tight....Air tight too!


Good luck!

Too restrictive airflow setting or too hard of an inhale will flood the head, this pulls more liquid into the head than is being vaporized. Causes gurgling, leaking.
May be a bad head, how long have you been using the same head?
Have you tried properly priming & installing a new one?

Condensation will build up in the air tube which will drain back down into the head causing gurgling leaking flooding.
Normal maintenance of drying the air tube with a twisted paper towel / napkin occasionally will prevent condensation build up.

Is the head tight into the base?, sometimes they loosen up when removing the tank.
Head should be tight in the base, make sure the o rings are in place & undamaged.

Unless you bought it used I doubt a $10 Atlantis is an authentic Aspire.
The clones/copycats of the Atlantis are very problem prone.
