    Clearomisers? No taste ...

    :lol: You can do it cheaply if you are into crafts. You can wrap devices in coloured contact, apply enamel and glass beads, whatever you fancy. I can understand not liking the Evods. They do have a small window to see the liquid but my failing eyes have trouble in low light. The T3S might...

    Clearomisers? No taste ...

    Just be careful, when you get a device that works better it will also improve the efficiency of the nicotine delivery. 24mg/ml which you require with your current system may be too much on something that is producing more vapour. ;-) Nearly 35 years for me. You can do this but you'll have...

    Planned obsolescence? No, I don't think so - I think it's just China doing what it does best, which is building to a price. Am I right in thinking that you got the Vamo V2 from Fasttech, and it would have been around 20 quid in your money? I remember some years ago a guy I knew (microscopes...

    Clearomisers? No taste ...

    If you don't want to spend too much money, just get an Evod with 1.8 ohm heads, as I said. I'm pretty sure the battery you have is indeed only 3.3 volts while the cheap CE4s are often 2.4 or even 2.8 ohms so the power applied may be less than 4 watts - there won't be much vapour either. That's...

    Clearomisers? No taste ...

    The clearomiser and the voltage it is being run at have everything to do with the end result. The ego 510 batteries are often 3.3V output, which is fairly low. What resistance are the clearomisers? You should probably try an Evod clearo with a 1.8 ohm head in it. I think you'll find the...

    Innokin iClear 30 high ohm reading

    I'd say the head is faulty in some way. Possibly it is poor connections where the coil wore contacts the body of the head, however you should make sure that the head is screwed into the base firmly. The first step in problem solving is to remove the head from the base and take a measurement of...

    I think you just did. It's really disappointing when you realise that some of these factories are using unskilled labour for critical steps. Not surprising but still disappointing. It is nice that these things are so easy to fix though.

    6 month vapping B-day today

    The most common reason for finding vaping unsatisfying is that there is not enough nicotine in the juice. What are you currently vaping and how much nicotine is in it? DIY is a steep learning curve but very rewarding since you can design the flavour how you want. Just be careful as the most...

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    Because they want even more vapour than a standard setup can give them. There's an art to doing sub ohm, or running SR coils at high watts and most of it is to do with making sure the wick can stay wet enough to prevent burning. The first step is probably rebuildable atomisers and wrapping...

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    Yes, 1.8 ohm heads only need about 3.3 volts. Many people have trouble with them because they tend to turn them up and as soon as they chain vape on them they burn badly. I generally recommend 2.2 ohms because they work well at 3.7 or 3.8 volts so great on a fixed voltage Ego, but they can...

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    I haven't used the iClears, but used to run Vivi Novas before I discovered the Protanks. The fix with the Vivi's to make sure there was no excess pressure on the wicks was to remove the rubber top cap and put a 1mm V notch in it where the wicks come out. Putting these 'V's in the cap kept it...

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    No, the juice popping is happening on the coil. It occurs because the juice inside the wick heats up and blows some of the juice off the wick with a 'pop'. An occasional pop actually gives you a good idea that you are in the optimal zone for a factory wick. Excessive popping would indicate...

    I'm pleased you found it useful and hope you get a lot more out of your BCC's now.

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    That's correct. All of these devices with factory heads have a limit on how fast they can wick the liquid. A protank is theoretically in a better position since the wick is always covered. Any top coil device requires you to "tilt and twirl" to sure the wicks stay saturated. One of the main...

    New to vaping need some help.

    Not ruined exactly, but it may taste a little off and may also not produce as much vapour. I'd actually recommend the voltages on the table in the blog I linked to for 2.7 ohms - 4.0 to 4.2 volts. This is more in line with the recommendations Kanger give for lower ohms. Stick with the lower...

    Hi From Brisbane Newbie.

    Ah, I grew up at the Bay; when we moved there I was 7 and the population was about 7,500 in the off season. It's a different place now...

    New to vaping need some help.

    Well you've certainly jumped in the deep end. We need to know what resistance the coil is, and what voltage/wattage you are trying. The Protank will produce heaps more vapour than a cigalike, but you have to run it at the Kanger recommended settings and let it do its thing. It may take...
