    Why am I getting a burnt taste all of a sudden?

    With any of the top coil clearomizers make sure that you tilt and twirl your mod before you vape it, especially when the eliquid level is running low. Usually when people are getting dry hits it's because they assume that the wicks will pull juice straight up to the coil on demand, but gravity...

    Best place to order silica wick?

    Check eBay as well. I got an email from them earlier today asking me to spend more money and as I deleted it I thought I would search for some silica wick and some Kanthal wire. There is A LOT of it available there. I think when I need to reorder I will go that route and buy a whole spool of each.

    Need help rebuilding Kanger Protank coil..

    OK, but if you try to wrap 100 coils all the same size for the same device with half of them having 5 wraps and half having 7, on average the coils with 7 wraps are going to have a higher resistance. That's all I was saying.

    What to do if ecig vents?

    Personally I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to treat my batteries with care and let the chips fall where they may. The metal box is a good idea, but are you planning to carry it with you everywhere? It's not guaranteed that you will be home if and when something goes wrong with one of...

    Need help rebuilding Kanger Protank coil..

    Actually, the more wraps you have the longer you need the wire to be thus increasing resistance. At least that is my understanding.

    Need help rebuilding Kanger Protank coil..

    I just did my first recoil this morning using 3mm silica wick and 32ga Kanthal. I ended up using a 4/5 wrap and got exactly 1.8 ohms. I was going to guess that the Kanthal was wound too tight as well, see if you can wrap it a little looser or add more wick.

    Vamo V3 misreading Ohms?

    I'm thinking about changing mine proactively before I have a problem with it. It seems easy enough.

    Vamo V3 misreading Ohms?

    I just recoiled an EVOD/Protank head and had that problem with the resistance jumping around on my VAMO V3. 0.2, 0.1, 0.6, 0.0, etc. There was actually a short, i had left the leads a little too long and as soon as I screwed the head into the tank it shorted out. Look at the EVOD head itself...

    Curving Your Appetite?

    Mine has been curbed; not sure what a curved appetite looks like. :tongue: Joking aside, I definitely have less of an appetite than I used to. I know some of that is caused by the nicotine, but I think vaping dessert and fruit vapes tricks my body into thinking I'm actually eating instead of...

    Kanger Protank question

    I do the same, but I would recommend trying the head out with all of the included flavor wicks first. Some of the replaceable heads have worked perfectly for me after removing a flavor wick but others have leaked on me with thinner eliquids.

    Evod head clean/dryburn details -- burnt taste at first?

    I put the head back together after doing a dry burn, then rinse it for a while under hot water. I then dry off the outside of the head with a paper towel, and finally I hold the paper towel against each end of the wick for a few minutes to suck some of that moisture out. After that I fill it...

    Kanger Protank question

    If you are talking about the silicone cap that sits right above the wicks and is mounted on the center post don't touch it; that prevents leaking. If you're talking about something else please clarify so we can help you out better.

    Are "they" phasing out the KR808 threaded batteries/atomizers...

    There are a few vendors that sell KR808 devices almost exclusively, but I think 510 connections have become the norm. The one that I know of for sure that sells a lot of 808 stuff is Vapor4Life E-Cigarette.

    Kanger Protank question

    If you like the vape at 7.5 to 8.0W, then keep it at that setting. If you are using variable wattage it won't matter whether you are using a 2.2 ohm coil or a 1.7 ohm coil; the mod will output the correct voltage to achieve that power setting.

    You have to have a certain number of posts before you can have one I think. I'm not sure what that number is. Eventually that option will unlock for you.

    Vamo V2 - bad chip or...?

    Any chance the battery is bad? And if it is the chip, I did see a vendor selling replacements recently. I can't remember where at the moment, but you could buy the whole unit with the screen attached. I do remember thinking that you could almost buy a new VAMO for the same price, however.
