Reliable Thick/Dark Juice Setup?

[Mjodmir]

Hey, everyone. My gear: MVP, EVOD batteries, Mini PT3, nautilus (new BVCs) tanks.

I want to be able to vape the dark, creamy, butterscotch, custard, and tobacco flavors that I love so much, but recently my two vape setups just taste terrible no matter what I do. I've grown sick of the sugary, fruity flavors that only seem to work in my setup and so I type this with a lip full of Copenhagen and heart full of regret (I was tobacco free for almost a month). So, what setup can you recommend so that I can get back to vaping those thick, dark juices? I will try RDAs if it is the only reliable way.

Thanks.

Any "tank" system will struggle to provide enough liquid to the coil. The tiny wicks can't keep up supplying enough liquid to the coil, resulting in dry burnt hits. Thick dark flavors are the worse for gunking up coils and causing wicking issues.

I recommend either a bottom feeding box mod (mechanical) or a rebuildable drip atomizer on either a mech or regulated mod.

bottom feeding box mod (ie Reo mod)

Bottom feeding box mod is like a RDA which is fed the liquid from below by squeezing (or sqonking) a juice tank inside the mod.

Six months is about the time flavor fatigue sets in. It was a hard time for me, too. It might help using unflavored or something overtly strong like a coffee or pineapple for a week or two. If you have a juice bar locally, go visit and confirm if your taste is deadened across the board. Ask them if they can pull the base off one of your wonky coils to check the rubber grommet for scorching which could be your problem, also.

Have you tried the BDC coils in the Nauti? (haven't heard much good about BVC coils). Are your coils the new ones with cotton or the old ones with polyfil? if cotton, switch to polyfill, if polyfil, switch to cotton.

RDA is always the best choice as far as reliability is concerned. Not to mention I can hit mine with a hammer.

A great "tank" for those sorts of juices are the ones that use filler material. You can easily access and change your wick at any time, and have it changed in 2 minutes.

Take a look at the GP Heron and Spheroid or one of the Prometeys.

Atlantis 2.0 doesn't seem to struggle with anything I throw at it. You need some heavy wattage to push it though. RDA of course will never have a problem but you lose some of the portability. I like tanks if I'm not at home so I don't end up with juicy pockets.

Pretty much all the newer sub ohm tanks like Herakles, Starre, Atlantis 2 handle Vg thick juice with no problem

if you want botht the reliability and portability get one of the rebuildable tanks that can handle subohm, thick vg juice with dark flavoring will gunk up premade coils like no other, so it would be better off to get a rta so u can just rewick it when it when it gets clogged, instead of replacing the whole head.

I just stick with lighter colored liquids for this very reason. I also hate any liquids that turn darker as you vape.

iStick30/igoL. Best bang for the buck.

if you get an igo-L be prepared to drill out the airflow hole or get a new topcap, unless of course you like sucking through those tiny martini straws. I got an Igo-L on as my first RDA and that sucker is like a 1mm non adjustable airflow, stock airflow is horrible and caused the RDA to get uncomfortably hot.

Yap, learn the RDA. Run just about anything you want in it. Changing wicks in a simple two coil set up takes about 5 minutes max. I used to wash mine out with every wick change, then I realized I don`t even need to do that, LOL. Vape em dry, pull em out, dry burn, brush the crud off, rewick, cut, tuck, VAPE!

oh yeah, forgot to mention. If you really dont want to learn how to build your own coils or dont want the fuss, you can order pre-made coils as well (not the premade tank type of coils, just the coils), fasttech sells them in bulk for cheap. You can use RDA's without having to deal with the fuss of rebuilding, the premade coils come with the resistance you want, and you can get them for as much as 50 pre-made coils (whatever resistance u chose) for only 10 bucks.

Found 143 pre-coiled at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

ordered a bunch recently in different resistances just to try out when im lazy and dont want to rebuild, and theyre not too shabby.

Man! Thanks for all the fast and insightful responses everyone! I think it is time I venture into RDA territory! Wish me luck and thank you all, again!

You're right, I need to do that. I only started using it again once I got my iStick.
