Falcon King not performing

[a1m330910]

So I recently brought myself a new Falcon King tank after hearing really good things and getting pretty annoyed at buying coils week for my smok.
Now the thing is every coil I have put through the Falcon has tasted real bad. I've tried priming for 20 minutes and 1 hour plus breaking in from 30w. I can never get good flavour, in fact half the time I'm getting dry hits even though my coil is saturated an the cotton is not burned. I'm using it with a Smok R-Kiss. I cant really tell where I'm going wrong I and if it's the mod or the tank.

Hi and welcome,
How much power are you feeding a "broken in" coil?
How is your air flow adjusted?
What is the nicotine content of the juice you are using?
What is the brand and flavor you are using? PG/VG content?

If you are not drawing hard enough, the mesh coil may not feed liquid efficiently nor be cooled properly.
Are you taking hard strong 3-4 second pulls or are you trying to vape it like a cigarette or with a "normal" breath type inhale?


Cheers

Thanks for the reply,
So I normally go up from 30 in 10 watt increments every 5 puffs until I reach 60 then 5 watts till I reach 75 with airflow open which is the recommended wattage.my juice is always 3mg and at the moment I'm using Wild Roots blueberry/cherry/lemon at 70/30pg and yes I take long draws.
Thanks.

Close the air flow down about half way and suck just a bit harder.
Search youtube for some reviews of the tank and mimic the reviewers draw strength and speed using a similar wattage.
If you prefer longer, more relaxed draws; this may not be the tank for you.
You mentioned having similar issues with the Smok unit. Perhaps a tank with a more restrictive, MTL type draw is a better choice for you.
Do you have a vape shop close to you?


Cheers

Thanks so much for all advice, after doing some googling and research + a little (too late ) common sense I decided to change out my O-Rings. Coils are wicking great and I'm now getting amazing flavour and enjoying vaping again
