Ello! So I just got my setup about 2 weeks ago, Vamo V5, protank 3 dual coil. I've been vaping like a dream, getting wonderful flavor, big clouds of vapor, etc etc. So after going through avout 4 refills of the protank, I decided it was time to give it some cleaning time. I took the thing apart, ran it under water, and left the head to soak in water for about 4 hours. After that I did a very small amount of dry burn. Didn't need much sense the thing is practically new. So now that I have the tank together again, it feels like the flavor is a bit dull and muted. Like its not quite there. I used to start the drag and immediately taste the juice, now it takes about 1.5 seconds after I start to taste the flavor again. It also feels like I have to suck (for lack of a better word) a bit harder to get the vapor out. I doubt this is normal. I find if I vape at 4.7 and above, it returns to normal, but I used to vape at 4.0 volts at the max. I don't wanna vape to high and burn the juice or the coil. Any thoughts on this? I don't feel quite comfortable with it. It's kinda nagging me in the back of my head every time I vape.
after cleaning protank 3, flavor feels a bit dull?

I suspected this as well. Im theory, if that's the case, the eventual vaping would get the water out wouldn't it?
It might, I am not for sure. The only time I cleaned a Kangar coil was for my mini Protank 2 and I let it sit over night.
Dry burn it again until the coils look "clean" and glow red hot..........I could be wrong, but I dry burn the **** out of mine (protank 2) and they work fine after that.
Skip the water and go to a vodka soak allowing for ample dry time........
(vodka dries faster and IMO is better for dry burns))

found similar with mine..and there was one of the coils nearly functional..changed and back to normal!
I use the protank 3 too with an itaste VV3. I used the vodka clean method and it works well. I did read about replacing the wick with organic cotton, I plan to try this next. If you google "stop throwing away your protank coils" there is a great demo for the protank 2. The dual coil of the protank 3 might throw a wrench, but I will give it a try. Folks report a better flavor experience once they ditch the original wick.
And.. I added the protank air flow control to my setup and that really helps to customize the "pull", drag... not sure how to explain.
