I am having a terrible time getting my vapes to taste good. I am using a Kanger pro tank 2 mini. The coils are 2.5 ohm and the battery is an EVOD. I also have a Kanger T3S and ego battery. Here's what I'm running into: With the T3S and the ego battery I was having pretty good vapes. I changed to the EVOD battery and vapes started to taste worse. I also did not like the "drag" on the T3S, I thought it was too airy. I stopped up one of the air holes and liked the taste and the inhale better. The vape seemed to be consistent between the ego and the evod battery. After getting the 2 mini I was having a bad taste again. I tried the same fix by stopping up one of the air holes. It helped but did not fix the issue. It seems that the EVOD battery is even worse. I have returned everything to factory conditions and still have the burned taste issue. I have tried different coils, (all were 2.5 ohm coils) rotating the batteries between the two, charging the batteries to full charge, taking out one or both of the flavor wicks (destroying two coils in the process) and nothing seems to work. I have also tried different liquids varying from 100% VG to 100% PG, dry burning, priming the wick, etc. Nothing seems to work. I have been told everything from go to 1.8 ohm coils to just get a VV battery. My question is: In your opinion what is the issue and how should I go about fixing it? To my understanding a ego battery is 3.2 volts unregulated and a EVOD battery is 3.7 volts regulated. Is this correct? Between the two, would that eliminate the possibility of needing a VV battery? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello again, bk!
First the batteries--because it's easy. Your batteries only offer you two set voltages. VV batteries offer a range from 3.2-4.8Ω in .2v increments. That said, if you find the correct resistance atomizers that work with your voltages, you may not need a vv battery.
Since we've already talked about chain vaping and correct vaping techniques, all I can add is this check list.
If you're using clearos and getting a burnt taste it means that not enough juice is getting to the coil and you're basically vaping dry, hot air or inhaling smoke from the gunk that's burning off of your coil. Not a good thing. Another case of bad taste maybe the tank itself--some arrive covered with some kind of nasty grease; wash them with soap and water (just the tanks--soak the coils in PGA or vodka).
There are a few things you need to remember when using a T3 or an eVod or a ProTank--in addition to keeping your coils clean and free of gunk that accumulates on them.
1) Make sure that the atomizer coil is screwed into the base tightly--every time you refill; they often come not fully tightened from the manufacturer, or may have gotten loose through repeated refills.
2) Look at all the inner seals and gaskets to make sure they haven't become dislodged.
3) Make sure that you screw the tank into its base tightly. If it's not tight, it will leak.
4) When you screw your clearomizer into your battery, do not overtighten--screw it in only until it makes contact--no farther, or you may push the center post in too deep and cause all kinds of problems, including leaking. When the draw becomes tight or the taste and vapor production begin to diminish, replace the coil. This will happen sooner (even as soon as one day of heavy use) if you're using dark, viscous, or very sweet juices. The old coil can be cleaned and dry burned.
5) Make sure you're not getting any juice in the center tube when you're filling--this will cause your eVod to leak like a sieve. If some juice gets into the tube, close the top cap, place a tissue under your tank and blow gently through the clearomizer to get rid of any excess eliquid. Also, extra condensation inside the tank may, on some occasions, drip back into the center tube. Wipe your mouthpiece dry with a q-tip or a tissue when you refill (or more often when/if needed).
6) Take an occasional "primer puff" (a slow draw without activating the battery) when you vape. It helps move the juice into the coil chamber and removes any air bubbles that sometimes form in the tank and may cause gurgling or impede proper wicking.
7) Take slow long draws rather than sharp and quick ones like we used to do while smoking cigarettes.
and last but not least
8) Do not remove any flavor wicks if you're experiencing any leaking or flooding. Those wicks are there for a reason. If you feel that you have to remove a wick because your eliquid is particularly thick, do it carefully--one strand at a time.
Good luck and happy vaping!
