An annoying gurgle?
Your Kayfun/Russian, that has been good as gold, may, for no apparent reason, develop a slight (and very annoying) gurgle during use.
The reason for the gurgle is too much juice onto the deck and wicks,finding it's way down the air hole.
The cause of this excess juice can be a few things, from accidentally restricting the air hole with you finger (and drawing in too much juice), inadvertently loosening the component seals when unscrewing from a stiff attie/mod connection (and upsetting the vacuum) or a poorly seated top chimney o-ring.
There is a quick fix - Remove Kayfun from battery, hold, upside down, and blow through the air intake hole.It has to be upside down to do this, so that all you are blowing through is air and not just increasing the problem by forcing even more juice into the deck/wick chamber.
Unless the problem was caused by a poor fitting top chimney seal (which will have to be re seated), this should clear the excess juice and cure that little gurgle.
Bearing in mind that once the deck and wick have been nobbled by excess juice, it's a devil to correct, and this fix should get you through to vaping the tank empty,at which point it's wise to disassemble, have a clean up and do a 'start from scratch'.
