How It Happens

Gurgling means excess liquid has flooded the coil's airflow chamber. Instead of being vaporized, the liquid is being pushed through the mouthpiece as droplets — "spitback." According to Fuzion Flavor's 2026 guide, the causes are: overfilling, drawing too hard (creating suction pressure), a coil at end of life, or a flooded chamber from temperature changes.

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Remove the pod from the device.
2. Blow gently through the mouthpiece into a tissue — you'll see excess liquid come out the airflow pins.
3. Wipe the airflow path with a cotton swab or tissue.
4. Check fill level — if above the max line, empty some juice out.
5. Take gentler puffs. Drawing too hard creates negative pressure that floods the coil. MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices need slow, gentle draws — not aggressive pulls.
6. Replace the coil if gurgling persists after cleaning — the coil may be too saturated or at end of life.
