Aggravating eVic/Protank problems.

[Sam McMillan]

My apologies if this is the wrong subforum.

So I bought a new evic and twos Protank 2s to upgrade and I'm having huge problems.


The first night, it worked great and I was so happy.. Then, starting last night I started getting really nasty burnt hits no matter what I did and what voltages/wattage I tried.


I stopped by the vendor to ask for help. At first I thought it was the eVic, but they used a voltometer and everything was outputting correctly. We determined it was a wicking/dry hit problem. They offered a few suggestions: 1) flipping the rubber grommet upside down on the kanger head, or 2) removing one of the flavor wicks to help with juice flow and wicking. We drained and cleaned both tanks and tried both those methods in separate tanks.


I tried them in the shop, and they worked wonderfully... until I got home. The one tank (removed wick) started leaking/flooding big time. I figured that the removed wick was making it leak so I put it back in to no avail. Lost nearly 3ml of liquid. The second (flipped grommet) one started with the dry hits/burning again.


I don't know what to do anymore, I spent nearly $200 and they have a no returns policy.

I had a somewhat similar problem. I found out it was the eliquid i was using. for some reason it was gunking up the coils and tasting burnt.

I change coils. wash and dry burn the old ones every other tank full.

Have any 100% cotton balls laying around?

I tried the cotton ball trick -- dry hits.

And now I'm really confused. I put both protanks on my girlfriends iTaste VW, and they hit fine, no leaking and no burnt taste... and if I put an eVod on my evic, it hits fine with no burning or issues.

What the heck is going on?

 

[Sam McMillan]

Thanks! Turned out to be an issue with the eVic itself.. it was shorting out coils really quickly (10-12 hits). They exchanged it (after much fighting) and the new one works as it should be.

I keep my PT2 on the Vamo. I just don't like the way it hits on the eVic although I could just use an airflow controller, this works for me. PT2 on the Vamo, which I don't care for my carto tanks on; and the carto tanks on my eVic, which I don't care for the PT2 on.

I know a lot of people swear by removing a wick from the Protank but I've nothing but leaking problems whenever I've tried this. I'm glad you got your issue solved though.
