Can't seem to go much higher than 3.7v

[withravenoushunger]

I've tried various clearomizers and various attys at different ohms. It's difficult to push them above 3.7 without getting a burnt taste after a few drags. I've heard going 2 volts over the ohms is best but I'm at 2.6 ohms and I can't go much higher than 3.7. Sometimes if the tank is completely full I can push it to around 4.2.

Hummmm that's odd! Exactly what kinds of delivery systems & pv are you using?

 

[withravenoushunger]

I'm using a Vamo and Vivi Nova tank

Also Boba's Bounty and Snickerdoodle coffee

Well if you've burnt the wicks then you have to trash those. Were they brand new wicks? If so make sure you give them ample time to absorb the liquid. I also found that if I chain vaped I needed to twirl my pv around to make sure they were absorbing. Thicker juices were even worse in my experience. I'm sorry I don't know the answer but you should be able to go at least 2 volts higher like you said before. Could the novas be knockoffs?

Their new wicks and I've confirmed they are genuine. This juice is a little thick. Well very thick. I have no idea what the Snickerdoodles ratio is.

I still would think you should be able to get higher than 3.7 without burning. I'm sorry that I wasn't any help. Hope someone comes along with better advice soon!

Bobas is 100% VG, and just about the thickest juice available....not sure about the Snickerdoodle - depends on who made it - if it's Alien Visions, it's also 100% VG.

Vivi Novas are great (I have a bunch if them myself), but they don't feed thicker juices well (no "top-feeder" does)...even some 50/50 juices don't work that well in a Vivi. You can always try diluting the juice a bit with DISTILLED water (about 5-10%)...it won't effect the flavor, and should wick better...

Good luck.

I guess I'll try and get some high PV juices. Could I mix High VG juices with some PG? It could be nice to add some throat hit to Boba's Bounty. Thanks guys!

You can dilute your high VG juice with some PG, but when you do, you'll be diluting the flavor, too, so I wouldn't add much.

Your vivi nova came with a total of 3 heads correct? Try putting the 2.8ohms head in the tank. It should help with the wicks burning. It helped for me anyway. Good luck

You can also do some tweaking to get more flow around the wick. Vivi wicks are like a rope. Try unwrapping/fluffing them. Check the silicone wick cover and make sure it isn't pinching the wick at the slot. Notch if needed.
Maximize flow and you will have no problem turning up the power.

Yes, 1.8-2.0v over ohms is a normal good vaping point. You have to have something to vape though.

Never toss a burnt Silica wick.
Burnt is just the juice, you can't burn silica. Rinse clean, expose to see coil and dry burn. Short power on pulses until the coil will glow orange and the juice burns off. Blow clear once cooled off(never while hot) and reuse when needed.

Your problem is not the eliquid, the tank or carto, etc. You need to switch to "variable wattage" and stop using the VV function. Switch from VV (NO1) mode to VW (N02) RMS mode and you will be able to vape at higher power levels without any burning. If you are using 2.6 ohm heads, then set the VW between 7.5 - 8.5 watts and you should be good. I would start with a fresh carto, clearo, etc.

Missed the post that the Op has a Vamo.
Press your up & down buttons 3 seconds to switch to Watts
Press your up button for about 15 seconds to switch to NO2
This will give you RMS watts for a much more stable power output.

This ^^^^^^

I have 2 Vamo's and both of them came shipped in AVG mode.
RMS mode should fix you up.

Heck, I have one juice that tastes burnt @ 3W in AVG mode.
I usually hit it @ 6-6.5W in RMS.

It really doesn't matter if you like using volts or watts as your setting.
It's really about RMS vs AVG.

The only thing I like about the Vamo V3 is they disabled AVG.
