First post.. SID issues

[Timbuck55]

So I bought my first APV after a good amount of research. I have a 10650 battery in my SID.. A xJet tank with a 2.1 ohm atty.. I have the vv set to 3.7 and had the vw set to 6 watts. Either the atty burns out extremely quick or I'm getting burnt hits consistently.. I've done all the calculations in terms of voltage x voltage / ohm for watts and voltage / ohm for amps.. Got poor results.. Then read that the sweet spot is between 6-8 watts. I'm still getting burnt hits more often then something pleasant. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Probably a wicking issue... Make sure you are getting enough juice into your Atty. Most likely not wicking properly.

I've went through about 5 attys thus far. Unless I'm constantly getting bad wicks.

What type of tank is it?

What type of wick is it?

I'm guessing you meant 18650 battery?

What kind of juice are you using?

How thick is the viscosity?

Have you tried just turning the voltage down? I usually vape 2.0-2.1 ohm coils around 3.3-3.5 depending on the specific juice.

It's a Vision X.Jet BDC Vivi Nova Clearomizer.

Whatever wick that comes with the tank

Yes 18650 battery

The juice I'm using is suicide bunny original bunny or "OB"

It's a pretty thick juice but same as the others I've used it seems

Yes but when I turn the voltage or wattage down I'm not getting much of a throat hit

I can't help much, but the likely problem is in the atty.

I have a SID, it takes on all-comers. No odd-ball behavior of any type.

Sounds like you are getting dry or burnt hits off the clearomizer. This could either be a poorly wicking head or your puff/draw technique is wrong.

You can't hit an e-cig like a cigarette. The draw technique must be a long, slow, gentle draw of 4 - 6 seconds in length. Imagine sucking on a straw in a thick milkshake. Taking too hard or a hard short draw will either flood the juice attachment or cause dry hits because it can't keep up with your technique.

If your e-liquids are particularly thick, any wicked juice attachment may struggle to wick properly. Hence, give the wicks time to feed juice to the heating coil with the above described techniques. You might try thinning down the liquids some by adding a small amount of distilled water to the tank.

Thanks for your help everyone. Maybe I should just buy a diff tank. Maybe a kanger 2 or something.

Protank 2 is a really good one. I use it with SID all the time. 2.8 coils at 3.7V is perfect for me. Those 1.8 coils always burn too hot for me, but I know a lot of people like them.

Just FYI ,I have been using Kanfer T2 and T3 now and just tried a thicker juice and have had to change out my coils in 3 days instead of 14 days like normal. I am looking for a different tank now ......

 

[Timbuck55]

Ya it feels like I'm changing them every 2 days

I've changed the way I hit the ecig and getting much better results. Thank you. I'm used to smoking a pack of newports a day and I'm in the army so I'm used to smoking a cig in about 3.2 seconds.. Now that I've slowed it down it's far better. Thank you much.

What juice are you vaping? Some you can get better results by taking the head cap off and removing one flavor wick (a couple of wicks that lay over the coil).

My juice right now is suicide bunny original bunny.
