Backstory: Starting vaping bout 2 months ago, my work said they would pay for any quitting smoking aid up to $100, bought the green smoke pro kit, tried others V2 and felt it blew them away, then I discovered the world of ejuice, got some liquimax clearomizers from V2 with adaptor and a hefty order of 10 30ml bottles of 50/50, 24nic, xtra flavor bottles from VapeDudes with 40% off coupon, hey...had to make it worth it, right? Then upgraded to Lavatube V2 with AMR 2000 and standard tube tank, recently decided on getting Kanger Protank, but...heres my issue

Out of my 10 bottles my fav by far is the Mocha Java Nut and Mocha Java Drizzle, decided this would be my go to vap and filled my 7ml tank, loved it, filled it again, started gurgling, tasting burnt, fiqured I flooded it, threw in another cart, good to go, 2 days of heavy vaping later...same thing, fiending for the Java I threw it in my Liquimax....gurgling, burntness :mad:...no issues with any other flavs so figured its the juice, I've read to try diff vendor/ratio's so on so forth, but...tried a few vendors and love the flav, choices (190flavs) and service of VapeDudes, before I purchase Kanger ProTank, does anyone know of atomizers that can handle these darker juices? I dont want to be restricted in choices, will spend the money upfront if it will save in the long run, and I can stop losing precious ejuice, rebuildables and such, anything but losing my fav flavs

Any comments/advise will be greatly appreciated, thx

Darker juices like coffees gunk up the coil faster than lighter ones. I like coffee too. I vape mostly cartos and Vivi Novas. I use it only in the VN's because I can dry burn as many times as I need to to clean the coil. So, anything with a dry burnable coil will work much better for you than things you can't dry burn.

Thanks for quick response, cant wait to place my order, so researched dry burning a bit, would like a bit of a stockpile as to not be without, should I invest in replacement atomizers as well as replacement coils for ProTank? I've read a few reviews on Protank vs VN's, like the look of the ProTank, its hard to keep up with versions of VN's, some with great reviews, others not so much, guess a lot is personnal preference, is v3 newest? what are some pro/cons of diff models? Sorry for plethora of questions, would like to purchase a bunch in one shot, guess I'll have to leave some to trial and error as best way to learn, just a lil expensive at times

Ordered protank, got plenty of replacement heads and checked out face meats protank rebuild, super cheap on ebay for thread and coils, here I come Mocha Java Juice! Thx for the help :vapor:

This is just my experience and I fully admit I am a total NOOB on VV or VW devices having only had my vammo a couple of days.

I filled up my protank with a chocolate hazelnut juice (also a very dark gummy juice) and proceeded to slowing increase my wattage trying to find the sweet spot. Got to 6.5 watts got the first indication of a burnt taste which is my signal to back down the watts. Backed down to 6 thinking I had my sweet spot and took a big long hit. Fried the wick.

Now I have seen many people suggesting 7-8 Watts as optimal for vaping with the protank. I didn't even get close. Either I didn't understand something along the way or this setup is off or maybe its something in the juice. Just go slow my friend and be careful.

You might be in the wrong mode...if you're using NO 1 switch to NO2. I think you hold either up/down button for a really long time to switch between modes. Try that and see if it helps you out.

I am in NO 2. First thing I did when the Vamo came in. TY for the suggestion though. :)

An other alternative is to get a small Rebuild-able atomizer like a DID clone. Very easy to clean (just rinse off the wick & coil with water & dry-burn the gunk off the coils).

You can find any number of them for under $20 that have everything you need to get going (stainless mesh & Kanthal wire to make wicks & coils). Just Google "did clone", or "genesis atomizer" and you will get hundreds of choices: here's just one example of what I'm referring to:
Atomizers - Rebuildables


It's not that difficult to master rebuilding an atty, and once you learn to do it - besides getting a much better vaping experience, your costs will drop by about 10X or more....no more buying cartos, clearos, heads, etc (unless you want to - I still use a few carto-tanks for convenience once in a while).

There are a couple of RBA threads here on the Forum that go through the process of building coils & wicks, and tons of YouTube videos on various techniques to try.

Give it a shot - it's actually a lot of fun once you build one or two coils/wicks and develop a feel for them.

Have fun....

Back to the OP's question I'd try an RDA. You can dry burn these and rebuild the coils yourself. SMOKTech RDA Rebuildable Atomizer For the price I say get three lol. But that's just cuz I got one a week ago and will be ordering more.

Actually I picked up the Octopus (waiting for vapemail) I think it is the same thing.

Man, I didnt realize some of the rebuildables you could get for that cheap, thx for the link, already ordered the protank though, will give that a go for awhile before I order one of these, been going kinda crazy lately with the ordering, kinda half the fun though, now can I dry burn with the ProTank? If I buy some silica wick and kanthal wire, I can dry burn and rebuild with Protank?
