A Couple of Atmomizer Questions...

[Sed Contra]

When I first stepped up from the V2 cig-a-like, I bought a Joyetech eGo-T 1100 with a Kanger M-T3 & 1.8 Ohm atomizer, but soon after I realized that I was having a problem. I was quitting analogs altogether at the time (it has currently been 2 weeks!), and I was vaping like crazing. I was getting bad hits, so I went to the local store where I bought the stuff and asked the guy what he thought was the problem. The problem seemed two-fold. First, some flavors were burning, and he recommended going to to a 2.5 Ohm atomizer. So, I bought a Pro tank II and popped in the 2.5 Ohm atomizer. Everything worked like a charm. The second problem, apparently, was that I was hitting on the M-T3 so often and with such long draws that the 1.8 Ohm atomizer was heating up too much and that was producing a bad draw. I've had no problems with the Pro tank II in that regard, though it is rather airy, so I bought a different skirt to reduce the airflow. Anyway, the guy said that I should try putting a 2.5 Ohm atomizer in the M-T3, and that seems to work just fine: no more burnt taste and, so far, no problems with overheating.

My questions:

1. Does anything sound screwy in what I've described? In other words, does it all make sense?
2. Do the exact same atomizers work in both the Pro Tank II and the M-T3?
3. I don't want to just throw out the 1.8 Ohm atomizer, but it's already wet; is there a way to let it dry so that I can reuse it later?

Thanks alot!

1. Sounds fairly accurate to me, I notice I can't chain-vape on my PT 1.8ohm heads in an Evod without getting a burnt taste or dry hits after a while, using a 2.2ohm is perfect.

2. I don't believe those are interchangeable from what I've heard, I know the Evods and PT1/2/Mini all use the same head but I seem to recall someone saying the MT3 is a different head. See if the threads match up, if they do, might work if it all physically fits together.

3. Rinse it with alcohol or hot water and just let it air-dry, I do that all the time with my Evod/PT heads and haven't had issues at all, granted they do usually go right back into a tank of juice..

I use a 1.8 in my t3 but a 2.2 in my vivi. I haven't noticed that as bad but I am running at 4.0 for both with a twist.

I would make sure u clean your tanks weekly or couple time a week. Also some liquids are thinker or thinner depends in pg and vg mixtures.

Clean old ato in hot not burning water and air dry. keep in case your in a pinch......

What I'm missing is.... A) did it work well at the start, and then start to burn and fail after a day or more? Or B) did it fail from the start?

If A) your juice probably gunked it up a bit too. It coats the coil with gunk. Then, as you vape, you hit it like crazy to make it work and it cooks the gunk and burns. You may have to clean it more or try clearer juice.

If B) the 2.5 ohms should solve it.

Thanks guys. The dude insisted that the same atomizer will work in the M-T3 and Pro Tank II, so I took him at his word. I'll know for sure when the Pro Tank II atomizer goes bad.

Thanks, AttyPops. If I recall correctly, I noticed the problem sooner after getting home from the store. So far the 2.5 Ohm atomizer has been awesome, so it seems that it has solved both problems. Thanks!

I have gone thru a few different tanks, cartos and drippers. My favorite is the inexspensive Dual Coil 1.8ohm clearomizers DV Brand from Discount Vapers. Hope I can post this.
DV CE5 Rebuildable Clearomizer - Dual Coil - 1.8ohms

and the replaceable heads or coils here:

These have worked great for me and man I heat these puppies up! I use these with plain ole ego style batteries, the Vision Varible Voltage and the Vamo V3. I like my vapor warm and a lot of vapor. I clean them and reuse them. Since I do heat these up so much and depending upon the juice, I do get buildup on the coils and have burnt some coils. Flavors are different at different voltages (my opinion, or taste buds). Heck...if you use to smoke a pack a day ($5.00) you still save a sock full of money of going through 1 or two of these a week, depending on how much you vape. I vape three to four times more than I use to smoke analogs and pipes! I vape in the car with the family, in the house, in bed, in the living room, at work at my desk, on-site at customers location, in restaurants. This is why it is three to four times more.
