IT' BURNING MY ATOMISERS!!!

[Nathanman]

I have just purchased a Kanger K Simar 20 and I loves it! Only problem is that the voltage is far too high for my Kanger Protank 2. It is giving me plenty of vapour but no taste apart from the burning.
This is the 1st mod I've bought and have been using the vapeonly V Power which is perfect with the protank. I love the feel and look of the K Simar 20 and want to hang on to it. My question is do I now have to start looking at a higher end tank for the mod to counter it burning my atty and what should I get.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is a variable wattage mod right? Turn the power down, start at the bottom(7 watts) then slowly go up until you get a good hit.

 

[Thrasher]

Its burning at 7 watts? Or have you not tried turning it down just cause it can run 20 watts doesnt mean everything needs to be run that high

 

[Nathanman]

Thanks folks. It runs at 7 all the way up to 20. I currently have it set at 7, it's lowest voltage.

as was already mentioned turn your mod down for now Lots of peple swear buy the Kanger SUB Mini and Nano also the Aspire V2 Atlantis is supposed to be pretty good. You will have to stick to the higher end of the coil head selections with a 20 watt mod but if your looking to up grade there is a good place to start.

That mod does not have "step down", so you need to use enough atomizer resistance for the wattage you want with a fully charged battery.
(it can boost above battery voltage, but it can not reduce below ambient battery voltage)

add:
So you would at least need a 2.5 ohm coil in your protank to get down to 7 watts with a fresh battery.

 

[Nathanman]

I thought this might be the case. About time I looked at a new tank anyway. Thanks peeps!

The K Simar 20 is a wattage regulating device. Some kind of gyroscope or something is used to adjust wattage. My guess is that you ran the coil too hot and cooked the cotton. Now it tastes burnt no matter what wattage you try. Put in a new coil, run it at 7 watts, and step up from there in 0.5 watt increments until flavor starts to dry out. My guess is that 8 to 10 watts is all that tank can handle. Thicker juce will magnify problems, too. No point losing the tank if you're happy with it, though. Try to find its sweet spot and don't get wrapped up in running at higher wattages just because the mod can do it.

Lots cheaper to get a 2.2 - 3.0 ohm coil for the protank.

 

[Nathanman]

Thanks for the input. I ended up trying one of my spare nova's to see what it was like. It is showing as 2.8 ohms and isn't too bad at all. Is there anywhere I can 3.0 atomisers for the protank? I have looked a couple of places and all I can find are a max of 2.4.

 

[Nathanman]

I will try a new atomiser in a bit. I think you're right though, I did try it a little too high to begin with so that might be a problem.

 

[tj99959]

You should be OK with 2.4 ohms. You PV would start regulating down to the 7 watts when the battery drops below 4.09v.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I run 2.4 ohm Evods ar 3.9 - 4.1 volts. the protank 2 takes the same coil. Maybe with a slightly longer stem, or was that the protank1?

According to the Kanger site evods and protank 2 take the same coil.

 

[Cloudmann]

Yep. You burnt the coil if the new one worked out. Move the wattage up 0.5 at a time until the flavor starts to dry out and mute (not burn). Then step it down 0.5. That's your sweet spot. It'll vary about 0.5 from coil to coil, too.

 

[Nathanman]

Well I cleaned the tank and fit a new atomiser which reads at 2.6. Again, all I get is the burning. I will have to look for some 3.0 heads.

 

[Nathanman]

No luck finding any 3.0 heads. I was wondering if a tank with a variable airflow help any such as an aspire nautilus?

 

[zeus01]

well it looks like you just want to buy a new one,dont worry that's normal we do it too

hehhehe

kidding aside,
if it has a burnt taste,
rewicking it should be fun or shoot for any coil above 2 ohms and start with the lowest setting available

Thanks zeus, you've got me bang to rights. Any advice on any tanks I should be looking for?

atlantis aspire
or kanger sub,
(not really sure if these tanks hgave the option to rebuild coils)
as most people here would recommend.

personally id shoot for a rebuildable tank ,
something like a kayfun or similar,,since it gives me the liberty to make my own coils and make adjustments on the spot..rather than buying a premade coil..

again its just me

Thanks for all your input over the last couple of days guys. I ended up going to my local vape store (Celtic Vapours) and ended up getting an Aspire Nautilus after some chat from the helpful chap there. Just got home, filled it up and let it settle. Vaping like a dream. I figure the double coil must be doing the trick because there is no hint of any burning whatsoever with the added bonus of looking EPIC!
