Dry hits on Kanger T2?

[Susaz]

Yesterday my throat was sore all day and mouth is burning. Each time I took a vape it would scratch like hell. I changed the head, and loaded a local Flue Cured Tobacco that I don't love but I know it was the right mix. And suddenly it dawned on me that what I was experiencing were dry hits. The tank is almost full, and I don't want to flood it as it happened before. Any other cure for this rather than filling up the tank and tipping? This didn't happen the day before so much that I vaped it right to the bottom... I often vape horizontally so the juice gets to the wicks and avoid tipping and flooding. I don't know why it dry hit, never done it before...

Top coils all rely on the 'tilt-to-vape' law, but since you already do this, I would say something is wrong with the head.
Open it up and inspect it as most issues can be solved this way.
Also, since the heads not working right, change it. Don't continue to use it.
I have never had this issue, so it will depend on what you find on your inspection.

I made my own coil and wick for the kanger and havent had any problems for the last couple days. It is the same as changing a head for a vivi nova or stardust, but the parts are a little tougher to get back into place. I was able to get everything done cramming em back in with a toothpick, but cutting the extra wire off was the only real challenge.

You may be experiencing a "pinching" of the wicks, in that the silicon cover for the head is being pushed too far on to the wicks when you screw the drip tip on. You might try cutting a very small triangle off the silicon cover where it meets each wick. This will open it up to flow better, and as long as you don't go nuts with how much you cut out, it won't cause any leaking issues.

Right... or try pulling the sleeve up jut a little bit. If it helps then start chopping!

Sounds like a grand idea, I'll try today! Thanks!

Ahh, the old seal lifting. Yeah, it's such a habit now that I forget about it and it's part of my routine.
Every time I remove the tip, I lift the top seal slightly with my finger nail and let the tip reseat it.

Yes! Now it works wonderful!

just don't forget the "tilt"...

Only when it gets to about 1/3... Fortunately if you vape it horizontally enough liquid gets to the wicks.
