First of all if you have smoke coming out of your mod you're in trouble. We vape and there should only be vapor coming out.
What wattage do you have your mod set at?
55
I have it set at 55
It sounds like the coil is flooded. Hit the fire button and blow into the drip tip hard for about 3 seconds, repeat if necessary. That should unflood the tank. Flooding can happen when you fill it, try closing the airflow next time you are going to fill it, then open the airflow once the cap is back on.
Still not a lot of vapor comes out and it still heats up and makes a gurgling sound
Its a super mesh coil that has 0.2
It should be heating up and some minor gurgling can be normal. Do you get spit back? Spit back is gurgling that causes hot juice to pop up into your mouth.
If you have a flooded tank and blowing into it doesn't fix the problem I'd guess there's an issue with how the tank is sealed.
Can you give more details on what's happening. How long are your pulls, have you tried different wattages?
Lastly I'd prime another coil and try that, it's not uncommon to get defective coils in a pack

I do get a bit of spit back yes. So the tank isnt sealed properly then? The pulls are about 3 to 5 seconds and i have tries different wattages
It's either not sealing properly, or it's the coil. I'd take it apart, check the O-rings and put it back together nice and snug. If that doesn't work change your coil.
Lastly I'd ask when things changed, that's usually q good indication of what's wrong. You said you got this set up yesterday, was it vaping fine then? Did things change after a tank fill?
Its been like this since i got it
Do you have another coil to try?
Yeah. How do you take the coil rn off. Does it just unscrew?
YouTube is your friend.
Make sure you clean up any excess juice under the coil when you unscrew it. Drip some juice onto the cotton in the center of the coil, fill the tank and wait five to ten minutes before vaping on it. It's important to follow those priming steps to get the cotton nice and wet to avoid burning it.

Agreed, I haven't used a sub ohm tank in forever, but that's the tank that came with my Legend a year ago and I did use it a few times.

It unscrews from the base, turn to the left. It's tight from the factory, you might need a damp cloth for extra grip.
They take it out in the video I suggested above.
Wdym the base. It doesnt even turn
Here's the breakdown of your tank. The coil is very tight from the factory but does unscrew as depicted in the pic below
I already screwed the new one on but theres another one attatched to the top fill chimney
That will unscrew too
Its not unscrewing
I got it to unscrew and put everythinf back together, primed it and its working perfectly now
I should have kept reading. I didn't realize you had it going already
I was recalling my first setup and you're doing better than I did. Believe me LOL!
im curious, What was your first setup?
Congradulations to the advertment of this minor catastrophe by @Theboss. Good looking out for the new man with vape issues. I remember how frustrating things could get at the start. Great advice given and problem resolved. BTW welcome to VU from mostly sunny Clearwater Florida. Enjoy your stay with us.
