Hello all. Hope everyones juice is hitting em just right! (Mine is MTB vanilla ice max vg.mmmm )

O.P. -- all of our tastes differ, but there is no one that enjoys a dry hit. I vape quite heavily, bout 4 to 5 mil a day. I have one clearo that i am never without and thats a innokin iclear dual coil. My zmax reads it at 2.2 ohms at 4.5 volts its the best vape iv consistently had. A plume of vapor and taste like no other clearo IMHO. definetly worth the purchase. I hope this helps. Iv struggled through the learning curve and am now enjoying vaping more than any nasty cigarette. Good luck to you. It gets WAY better.

Jeez this guy needs some real help. I'm on my break, otherwise i'd jump in here.

If you want, like, a good vape, you should probably do some research on resistance/ohms and voltage.
Like, resistance, is going to determine how hot your coils are heating up, proportionate to the voltage of the bat.
If your getting dry burny hits, then your probably not getting enough juice to your coils.
Or your using too low a resistance for the voltage of your battery.
1.8 ohms is a pretty low resistance for clearomizers, especially clearos that aren't wicking well.
Your ego battery starts out at like 4.2 volts and then drains down slowly before it dies completely.
With a fresh charge, you'd probably like to use 2.0 ohms, or 2.x ohms for a nice vape.
You usually have to double the 1st number of your coil ohms for your voltage. So 2.0ohms = 4 volts.
You have to make sure your coils are getting thoroughly wet before vaping.
If you aren't making sure your coils are getting thoroughly wet, you can burn your wicking material.
When you burn your wicking material, your coils aren't going to perform as well because they'll be gunked up.
So every so often, you might want to try flipping the clearo so the juice hits the coils for top coil clearos.
For bottom coil clearos, u are gonna want to take a couple hits without firing if your getting dry hits.
(to pull liquid into the coils) and when bottom coils flood, you have to tip them and fire to get rid of excess juice in coils.

GREAT my break is over. Idc I'm about to clock back in and go right back to the break room, screw it.

i have had good luck with the v2 clearos, but if its not rebuildable, you need a syringe to really rinse them good. You also might need to adjust the pg/vg ratio to suit your tastes. There are various videos on rebuilding them and troubleshooting them and it might help to see. You also might want to try less MG of nic.

Voltage + low ohms + PG = hot vape with throat hit. Your problem will be keeping it wicking under those circumstances.

Yes you will have to tilt the clearomizer more often....

At 2.4 I am often vaping at 4.0 to 4.4v depending on the juice. One benefit of a regulated mod is even if you like vaping at just 3.7 it will stay consistent at that voltage (or wattage if you adjust that way) for the life of the battery charge rather than having the voltage drop throughout the day all the way down to 3.3 or so. The Vamo looks like a good mod, i'm sure you will enjoy it.
