    Petersen gurgle issue.

    Tokerpipes, in my experience with Pestersons, I have owned quite a few, that with the Systems, if you tilt the thing, the reservoir can spill over into the smoke hole causing the gurgling. Also, the humidity of the tobacco can also affect the gurgling. I would suggest trying to air out the...
