100% VG - what tank should I be using?

[RayBans]

I have viva novas and iClear30's they all worked ok till I tried to go 100% VG. The problem seems to be in the wick. I'll get a few good vapes then the burnt taste. I did not have these issues when I was at 70VG 30PG. So, my question is what do you use if you are vaping 100%VG?

tanks a lot!

If I have to use a clearomizer for 100% VG, it would be a bottom coil, giving more time for the thicker juice to wick back into the coil between hits.

Is this what you are using NicoHolic? Kanger T3 eGo Bottom Coil Clearomizer???

The Kanger T3 is indeed a bottom coil and will do the job for you, but I use the pyrex Kanger ProTanks on my eVic (and Mini ProTanks on my eGos).

I use 100% VG and have gotten into the habit of taking some "dry" hits if I toke a couple times in a row. BCC works better with VG but even then I'll have to occasionally dry hit it to draw some liquid into the coil chamber quicker. iClear has a tighter draw than Protanks, which may be on purpose to provide more suction which is needed to pull liquid up the wicks better. Since Protanks are BCC their draw is looser, otherwise there'd be too much suction and you'd flood your coil.

Ok, Thanks Nico, I mixed up a batch of 70 30 just so I could go on. I do have a ProTank2 and I have a SID, I just never finished the 70 30 juice out of the Pro2. YEA there is hope! Thanks so much. Bottom feeders with 100% VG seems to be the way to go. I needed this encouragement...

Yes! a mouth full of juice and the blisters a few days later are no fun.

Try keeping your wattage around 7W. I can run 7.5W with most juices, and a couple at 8W, without getting a burned taste.

OK, I'm gonna clean out my Pro2; put a new atomizer in it and try my 100% VG - I'll be back...
hehehehe

 

[burtonsnowww]

100% vg sucks to vape in anything but dripping or on botton feeders imo

 

[NicoHolic]

I've found it best to clean the Kanger tanks and heads in very hot water every coupla refills, and to give them some time to rewick juice into the coil between hits. The juice in the bottom of the tank and in the head gets darker and thicker with heat exposure and refilling on top of that makes each next tank progressively harder to wick. I don't use clearomizers or the eVic much any more, but I do use my two ProTanks on it for AVE's Boba's Bounty and Havana Gold, which I don't vape very often.

I do love the cleaning of the Pro2 as apposed to what I used to have to go through. Ok here we go...

Let us know how it goes after the first tank full.

Thanks Jay,
This is what I'm learning. You really spelled it out for us here.

 

[RayBans]

Yea I know, the taste is running a little hot at 4.0 I'm gonna try the volts suggested and give it a tank full before my final opinion.

ANYWAYS thanks everybody. We are all in this together!

Thanks for the wattage info, I'm going at 7.0W on this first tank with a 2.0 resistance atomizer. The flavor is there, no burnt taste, gotta break in this new atomizer...

 

[RayBans]

I do have to say that the ProTank looks pretty on my SID hehehe....

 

[RayBans]

ok, WOW! After going through 3/4 of the tank the atomizer really kicked in. I was getting great taste but low vapor, once the atomizer kicked in I'm getting the clouds of vapor and the taste I wanted. I went up to 8 watts and every vape is wonderful, just the way I like it.
