Ahh. Never been more angry.

Ok. So I've been vaping a for a long while, but I can still never figure out why the hell everything I put on any e smoking device I have gets burnt..

I am a heavy vaper. I mostly use my Vamo V2. I know about the atomizer resistance, variable voltage, etc.

But like I said.. EVERYTHING I PUT ON MY VAMO GETS BURNT ALMOST RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I've tried under powering things. I've tried higher wattages, higher and lower voltages...

What finally pushed me over the edge is today I bought 2 replacements for some old tanks I have had for a while. A Iclear 30 wick and a Vivi Nova wick.. I replaced both wicks, made sure everything was tight. Filled them with juice and let them wick for about 10 minutes each..

About 3 puffs into the Vivi and the I-Clear they both gave a disgusting burnt taste and are now completely wrecked.. I am so tired of throwing money into different tanks and replacement parts knowing that this is going to happen. I am concluding that it is the juice that I am using. Aloha Juice, form the shop that I work at.

PLEASE HELP! OMG,haha!

Your taking huge hits and overpowering the ability of your coils to wick the fluid. If it were one or two occurences I'd say you might have gotten a bum piece of equipment but since you say it is everything I would say your technique is the issue. You might need to try to change your method or try a different type of atty. You will never get a dry hit with an RDA. I hear Cartos are pretty decent but I have no experience with them.

Yes, I agree w/sucker dad. Maybe not even your technique is at issue. Both of your tanks are top-coils. I started on bottom coils and later (like 5 months in) tried the top coiled tanks. After a few draws they always gave an underlying burnt taste to my juice. I was doing all the right things; slow draws, swishing the juice around to keep the wicks wet, etc.

Honestly I think it's your tanks, not you.

Try a bottom coil clearo, or even an Iclear30S which is a bit different than the regular one, or go rebuildable like a Kayfun or Russian91. I think you'll have better luck.

I do like taking huge hits! :)
I absolutely do not like cartomizers. The vapor production is sad. Flavor is GREAT though!

Yeah. I have a trident and a IGO-L coming in the mail. SHould be here any time.

The thing is though. Even when I try to be EXTREMELY careful with my inhale times and pulls, i get the same results. Even when I am just trying to take a small vape...

I don't know man. I've spent so much money on replacement parts and new tanks. Just grinds my gears.

I'm with alisa - I hit my tanks hard, often, and without mercy. I've found that top coil devices cannot bear the wrath my lungs unleash upon them. Therefore, I only use BCCs and have chosen to accept the attendant occasional leaks and gurgles in order to avoid roaching my wicks.

I've been a fan of my BCC tanks. Hits are great, taste is great, everything is GREAT!
I only use clear(er) juices. So my juices are always pretty thin! =)

Ha, when I first started vaping i mixed a couple drops of Mtn.Dew in with my eliquid! Didn't go great!

So pitch your vivi and your iclear and vape happy! :2cool:
