As a newbie to the do it yourself vape experience, I often buy stuff and then go back later and say "now what the frick was I gonna do with this"? Being somewhat unfamiliar with coil heads I purchased several different types, namely vision bottom coils, protank 1.8 and 2.4. I'm pretty sure those are also used for the EVOD, which was why I chose them. So I managed to fry one in my evod by letting the tank go dry, and this would be the first time I had to change one out. Ok, so I thought the original one that came with it was 2.4, so I just popped another one into it. Took one huff and gag, cough, gag, forgot to prime it, cuss cuss cuss. Pretty sure I fried it, so stick another one in, this time pretty sure I got it right. The thing is, the taste just doesn't seem right, has very bitter alcohol like flavor. First thought is, well maybe I should pop a 1.8 in and see what happens. Same thing, vapes ok but the taste, well it's just "off". Is it possible there's something I'm missing here? I cleaned it, primed it, don't think there's much to it. Just can't quite figure out why the flavor has changed so drastically. I dumped the juice and put a flavored one in, that seemed to help. Does it just need to be used a bit to get it going? I actually prefer the evod to the protank, it's a nice vape for me.

What are you using the Evod and Protanks on? Is it a variable voltage device? Chances are, you need to fiddle with the voltage output on your device.
A general rule of thumb is to add 2 to your head resistance to get your starting voltage. So if you put a 2.5 ohm head into your tank, your starting voltage should be 4.5 volts. Vape, then adjust upwards or downwards as necessary until you find your sweet spot for that setup.

Ok so maybe I should try it with my spinner. I'm currently using a regular 510 with a Evod.
for what its worth, i usually let my newly installed wick soak in the juice for 1/2 hour, the first couple of vapes are so-so but then it gets much better and if i take care of not overpowering it the wick lasts me 2-3 weeks.
protank 2 or puritank with 1.8 ohms protank wicks on Provari at 3.7 to 3.9 volts.
cheers!
