Pretty sure that this may be my problem. Most of the time, when the gurgle appears in force, its when I am doing something else while smoking. I will hold the pipe in my mouth more and I am not paying as much attention to the smoke.

I also tend to breathe out through the pipe, which I thinks adds more moisture to the smoke. Doh.
