If a replacement pod, different device or Vapestore product page makes sense, we will say so clearly and link to the relevant guide or tracked buying option.
absolute nightmare lads. was refilling and overfilled the pod, now it's gurgling and spitting every time I draw on it. tried firing it a few times and it's still doing it. how do I fix it without wasting the pod?
Don't fire it repeatedly – that can burn the coil if it's flooded. Try this:
Remove the pod from the device and gently blow through the mouthpiece (not the airflow hole) over a piece of tissue. This pushes excess liquid out of the coil chamber. A few firm but gentle blows usually does it. Then wipe the mouthpiece with a tissue and leave the pod upright for 15-20 minutes to let the cotton re-settle.
If it's still gurgling after that, you can also remove the pod and give it a gentle shake downwards over the tissue to encourage any excess liquid out. It should be fine for continued use once cleared.
Good advice above. Just to add: going forward, always fill to the fill line rather than right to the top. Leaving a small air gap at the top actually helps the pod draw correctly and prevents flooding. Sounds counterintuitive but it works.
blowing through the mouthpiece sorted it out completely, what a tip. cheers mate. pod's working fine now, saved it. won't be filling to the brim again lol
