Burning taste anything above 60watts

[CDinHD]

Hello everyone this is my first time posting on here and fairly new to vaping. At the moment I'm working with an Atlantis v2 IPV4 mod and whenever I vape at anything above 60 watts for more than 2 seconds I get a burning taste. I prep the coil properly with a few dabs on the hole and on top and let it soak in. Fill the tank take a few dry pulls without firing coil, let it sit for a few minutes. Could it be 80/20 juice that I'm using which is causing the coil to not wick properly? The atlantis V2 has large holes at the base of the coil and I never let the juice get low. Any insight / help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

60 watts is a lot for even a tank -- even a sub ohm tank -- what ohm coils are you using? I use my subohm kanger tank at 15-20 watts max

.3 coil. . I usually vape around 40 to 50w. But sometimes I just want to take it up a notch . I will eventually build a coil but I don't know much about that yet I need to do more research.

80VG?

thats cool -- even on my rda's i use 35 watts most of the time some times when i'm feeling the urge i bump it up to 50 not getting in to much over that -- my poor ipv3s are being underutilized.
oh... dont get me wrong -- I live in CO and enjoy it but the mods may have a problem with your avatar...

80VG?

Yes

Yes

Its probably too thick of a liquid. Try 50/50 or 40/60.

Ok cool I'll give that a shot. I haven't had this problem using the same juice on the atlantis v1 at 30watts though. Thanks a lot guys.

Without a doubt a wicking issue. It's not really the ATL2's fault, that's just a lot of juice getting vaporized quite fast. I use 80VG juice in my ATL 1 and 2 but I vape around the 45 range and they both keep up.

So I take it that the higher VG juice is really for dripping.

 

[tehdarkaura]

yeah, I use max VG -- 90-95% it doesn't play well with Temp Control either for what its worth

Not really. High VG juice is thick. Wicking is wicking. RDA's or RTA's do tend to have more of it... but at the end of the day, if you're "burning off" more juice than the wick can bring to the coil you're going to get dry hits. It's just a matter of balancing your power with your juice/wicking.

That said, it seems like you're after a warmer vape, and I've noticed the ATLv2 does need more "umph" than ATLv1 for some reason. So, you're gonna have to back down a tad on the ratio of the juice (or the wattage). Maybe try some 70vg/30pg and work down from there and find your sweet spot.

This is my train of thought anyway.

(Just to clarify, ATL = Atlantis)

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Anytime, my friend. Check back and let us know what your findings are. I'm curious myself and it will help people in the future.

I cant imagine what you guys find on high watts. I am an old vaper, new to RTAs. Ok they produce more vapour. With my one month Orchid and taifun GT2 devices I hardly go upper 7 - 7.5 Watts and my room looks like foggy. and the vapour is very satisfying with aroma and feels all right. What is the use of 60watts is far beyond my understanding.

1-2 second draws that imitate a cigarette. Thats my purpose, at least.

Will do

I've got the .3 coil in my atlantis V2 on top of my sigelei 100w and I've taken her all the way up to 85 watts with no dry hits or burnt taste. I use 80 vg juice. even with good 5-6 second lung hits I've had zero issues so far.

It becomes a hobby. It's like taking a Mustang that is fun on its own, and seeing what you can make it do, just on a smaller level. Some people are just fine with the Mustang getting them where they need to go, some like to see what they can get out of it.

I cant accep this as an answer. Smoking and vaping are different things and you should try to forget smoking. this is something else. As long as you remember smoking, they find a way to get you back. Enjoy vaping and forget smoking.
