Fixing Aspire Clieto Tank Problems?

[Yael.A]

Ive been having problems with my Aspire Clieto tank for a few months now. The biggest problem is that there seems to be an airflow problem, causing dry hits after 5 to 6 hits. Ive had to unscrew the cap, take a puff or two and then screw it back on to get stop it from dry hitting, which is obviously a pain in the ....

Im using Naked brand liquid, 70/30, 6mg and an SE 18650 VTC5 battery on a Pico.

Before I throw this tank out the window and buy a new one - anything i can do to fix these problems and have this thing working as beautifully as it was when I first bought it?

If your using premade coils,I can think of two options,use thinner mix or loosen the cotton.just a guess.

Thinner mix of VG/PG? Why would that matter? And how do you loosen cotton?

 

[stols001]

Thinner e-juice wicks more easily so less dry hits. More PG will give you a thinner juice.

I think he meant if you were using an RTA-- less cotton. If you are using drop in coils, I don't remember exactly how those cleto coils were designed, but sometimes you can poke holes in cotton (if you can see it) with premade coils as well, if you are having wicking problems.

With all that said, I might suggest taking the entire tank apart and giving it a very thorough cleaning, especially the airflow area, something may have gotten clogged, might be a good time to replace any 0 rings that look worn, too..

Good luck

Where would you poke the holes? Just a couple small ones randomly?

And Ill try a higher PG, ive mainly been using high VG, maybe thats part of the problem

if you poke the cotton make sure you don't hurt the coil inside of said cotton. sorry for just guessing, I'm not familiar with your tank just the principal of it. Anna had a good point of a good cleaning. the thinner juice does wick easier but will give you more of a throat hit.

 

[Yael.A]

Im cool with a good throat hit, I just head more vg gives you more clouds, but since I cant do any longer than a 2.5 second hit without a bad taste in my mouth, more PG will have to do.

And I have cleaned it all out, replaced all the rings, made the coil tighter, which helped with leakage, but not dry hits.

once the cotton gets burned,it will stay burned.sounds like the coil is trashed.

Well, the cotton isnt burned, i inspected it, it perfectly white.
