I know that with my protanks, they tend to mute out some flavors.
I also have Crème Brulee and the caramel is not overwhelming at all. It may be a combination of the two factors. I would let it steep for a while longer and see what your results are. If it still doesn't taste right then it is definitely the tank.
I stopped using protanks because I had too many issues with them (flavor, flooding, coils only lasted a day or so) and I switched back to cartotanks. Crème Brulee is AMAZING in a cartotank!!!

Good luck!!

ps: I saw your other post about ordering Frenilla- You are going to be blown away!!!! I have never tasted an e juice that is so good. And I have tried a lot!!!!!

That's GREAT to know, I just ordered two more AGR's after setting up my first one with one of my ADV's. Not only was it a BREEZE to set up, man was it outstanding! I also enjoy not having to change the coils every few days, and haven't had to fill up in three days and still about 1/3 to 1/4 left in her! I plan on getting some Creme Brulee next order, right now I'm waiting on my first order of H1N1 and Doodle. I waffled back and forth on Creme Brulee and even CLS, before just deciding on the Doodle lol. I like caramel, and depth, which do y'all recommend between CB and CLS? I know it's all subjective, just curious about what y'all experience with the two and which y'all prefer. Sorry if my Texas is coming out y'all!

The first lesson is that the coils that come straight from the factory are notoriously inconsistent. Even a fresh never been used factory coil can't be "trusted". Also, save all your burned atomizer heads... I have a feeling you will be rebuilding soon after you continue to experience the frustration of stock heads. Just throw them in a dixie cup or a zip lock baggie and stash them away.

Top priority is a roll of 30gu Kanthal, a bag of organic cotton balls from your local pharmacy, and a couple of youtube videos on rebuilding Kanger heads with microcoils. Don't just do it for my liquid, do it for all your liquid... it will give you control over the experience.

If you buy any more stock heads, get the lower resistance option, always. 1.8 or so

Why the 1.8's? I always switch them out for 2.0-2.4's, as I tend to vape around 3.7V and 8w, preferring a cooler vape. I have saved ALL of my coils and have tinkered around with them repairing some messed up ones but haven't rebuilt a coil yet, that's my next project. My kanthal wire came in last week and I have organic cotton, as well as bamboo wicks. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't remember what guage the wire is, I'll go check and report back!

Do you rebuild coils, do you have any suggestions for me, as I'm fixing to start rebuilding my dual coil Kanger aerotank coils. Any special tools you recommend? I was considering an artistic looping tool, or something of that nature along with a micro jewelry making tool set. If you see my other posts, I posted what I've been vaping at. I usually use Kanger aerotanks, Evod 2's, Evod orginals, and most recently AGR cartotank, if not dripping. Thanks in advance! You ALL have been great in helping us new folks out, self included!

Sorry for the multiple posts all, and if it seems like I hijacked the thread, I sure didn't mean to, should I combine the posts, or will it automatically do so?

Generally speaking, most people have had better luck with the lower resistance coils. On a variable voltage device you can push higher wattage, and the liquid tends to excel with the extra heat. Also, my personal thoughts are, less wire, less opportunity for screwups... but that's just voodoo. ;)

I'd highly recommend CLS but your mileage may vary. Both are favorites for different individuals but for me CLS is the winner.

I alsp prefer to buy the 2-2.4ohm protank heads but I often rebuild them to 1.8ohm. I find the stock 2.2ohm heads last longer than the 1,8ohm, but when you rebuild them with cotton, 1.8-2ohms are where I've been happy lately.

FWIW, I have a couple of Kanger EVOD 650 mAh VV batteries and they have a very hard time pushing a 30 gauge Kanthal coil. I had to go back down to 32 gauge.

This might not apply if your battery is the 1000 mAh version.

As an aside, from what I've been reading I NEED to try Frenilla. Haven't seen it on the website yet though...

Oh man, he better get ready for a Nicoticket Spring. Protests in the streets, H1N1 poured all over the sidewalk in protest, Marlboro Reds being smoked everywhere. It would be a very ugly scene.

OH WOW, I'm DEFINITELY infected! And I feel stupid!!! I was kind of having an off day and was mostly trying to spend time with the family today. So when the mail came today I glanced at the few envelopes that had came and figured they were some tanks and dripping atomizers I had ordered....SILLY ME didn't notice the purple envelope OR Kent's name on the envelope since I wasn't expecting it till Monday!! :facepalm: Fast forward to a few hours ago, I finally couldn't stand my office and vape space anymore and my OCD kicked in and I started cleaning it, some tanks that needed it etc. After I got everything in order and was waiting on something I decided to open the mail. Imagine my HAPPINESS that was almost dampened by the idiocy I felt!!! IT WAS DA JUICE!!!

All I can say is WOW!!! FINALLY something that lives up to the HYPE! I just want to say THANK YOU Kent and Katy, for making this heavenly elixir! And thank you Nicofans for putting it on blast, or I might never have found it! The thought of that might just be too much to bear he he! I IMMEDIATELY went to the website and put in an order for MORE! I'm torn between wanting to shout with joy all about it all across the FB moutaintops to ECF's, AND wanting to keep it on the DL, less there not be enough for ME when I need it ha ha! I'm not even sure I'm going to tell DH about this.....surely this could cause problems in our marriage fighting over it, so I better not! Shhhhhhh, if I sound crazy, it's TRUE! I'm infected I told you, I got THE VIRUS!

P.S I haven't even tried the Doodle yet......I just can't seem to put this stuff DOWN! Mind blown, Kent and Katy, you're a juice GENIUS! I've FINALLY found the PERFECT ADV! I just can't imagine how much better it can get, and definetely had to get more in order to find out! If I had the money, or WHEN I have the money I should say, I'm getting the 500 mL in case of the "Ban'opocalypse"! Wow....just wow! Not sure I even can go to bed now......

P.S I promise I won't drive the 3 hours to Omaha and wait outside with a mod in each hand waiting for my order to finish....I think! ;)

Such a beautiful thing. The joy of it is the happiness of getting the purple package doesn't go away. Other juices that I tried and though were real good, I wasn't super excited about ordering again. It was more like, "Yep, gonna need some more of that, don't want to run out." But with Nicoticket, every time it's exciting. And that's just with the regular flavors, the short runs? You wanna talk about a good time. Every other vendor, if you get something new, you are a little apprehensive about opening the package, and your mindset is "okay, lets see if this is vapable, or if it tastes halfway real" Even with some of the "high end" juices, that level of being comfortable is not there.

If the ban goes into effect, I think we should all go in together on a mansion in Omaha and get the NT J on the black market.
