How To Stop Vape From Spitting / Gurgling

If your vape is making popping, spitting, or gurgling noises, don’t worry — it’s a very common issue. The good news is it’s usually easy to fix once you know what’s causing it.

Quick Answer: Vape spitting and gurgling is usually caused by too much e-liquid in the coil. Fix it by clearing excess liquid, checking your coil, and using the right e-liquid for your device.

Why Is Your Vape Spitting or Gurgling?

Spitting happens when excess e-liquid floods the coil and gets heated too quickly.

Overfilled pod or tank
Flooded coil
Drawing too hard
Using the wrong type of e-liquid

Quick Fixes You Can Try Right Now

1. Flick the Device (Gently)

Hold your vape upside down and flick it gently to remove excess e-liquid from the airflow.

2. Blow Through the Mouthpiece

Remove the pod or tank and blow through it onto a tissue to clear excess liquid.

3. Fire Without Inhaling

Press the fire button briefly (if your device has one) to burn off excess liquid in the coil.

Check Your E-Liquid Type

Using the wrong e-liquid can cause flooding:

Nicotine salts and 50/50 e-liquids → best for pod kits
Shortfills (high VG) → best for sub-ohm devices

Using thin liquid in a powerful device can lead to spitting.

Check Your Coil

A worn or faulty coil can cause gurgling.

If it’s old → replace it
If it’s flooded → clear it

Most coils last around 1–2 weeks.

Avoid Overfilling

Filling your tank or pod too much can cause leaking into the coil.

Always leave a small air gap
Close seals properly

Adjust How You Inhale

Drawing too hard can pull excess liquid into the coil.

Take slower, gentler puffs

This is especially important for pod systems.

Prevent It From Happening Again

Use the correct e-liquid
Replace coils regularly
Don’t overfill
Store your vape upright
