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.
Hi everyone. Each time I refill my XLIM Pro 3 pod it makes a slight gurgling noise for the first few draws. Then it clears and is fine. Is this a problem or is it just how it works? I've been vaping for about 3 months and still not 100% sure what's normal.
Completely normal, especially after refilling. When you add liquid to the pod, a bit of air gets displaced and can create a slight bubble sound for the first draw or two. The gurgling you're describing that clears up quickly is just that air working its way out.
If it persisted for more than a few draws or got louder/more frequent, that would be worth investigating (usually means a flooded coil). But brief gurgling right after refilling is nothing to worry about at all.
Yeah mine does this every time. I actually let the pod settle for 30 seconds or so after refilling before I draw on it, which reduces the sound slightly. But honestly it's just how they work.
Oh brilliant, that's such a relief. I'd been worrying about it for weeks. Will just let it settle a moment before drawing from now on. Thank you!
