not sure what eazymango is referring to but check out atomic cinnacide @tastyvapor (but as above said, cinnamon isn't really nice to poly tanks and can crack it)

in the end, you gave it a shot and maybe you're just a carto guy. i too prefer the flavor out of cartos but still continue to use my evod due to the convenience.

Love the Protank and still use my nova as well. Just got a carto tank the other day, I think it's the smoktech one. Well my first tank seemed fine but then it seemed like the cartomizer was not pulling any juice. It has 2 pre punched holes and I believe it is dual coil. When I go to take a vape I get no bubbles at all, could it be the cart is flooded? I don't get any gurgling at all but I stopped using it because I don't want to burn it out, it's the only cart I have currently. Any ideas anyone?

Did you prime the carto? After you fill the tank drip some juice into the carto as well. Kinda like priming the pump. :)

Is the carto leaking? That's a sign of a flooded carto. An acquaintance of mine had an interesting way of priming her carts. She put a toothpick in the center hole to plug it and dripped a bunch of drops. I fill the tank, put the drip tip back on and take a few good hard pulls with the hole at the bottom of the carto covered with my finger (you'll noticed the level in the tank go down a lil bit), take off the drip tip and I'll drip a few drops in but not into the center hole. Tilting the tank and letting the drops go down the sides works well.

It's not your juice and you are not crazy...maybe.
I have been a vaper a while. I do RBAs, SS, Carto Tanks, I have tried all sorts of gear.

Now, I love the EVOD. I have to build my own coils, but it works great. In my opinion the Protank out performs it slightly in vapor production, but TH is about the same flavor UGH!
I don't know if any of you had this happen, but when I first opened my protank "gift box" the insides stank like chemicals....had to be the glue from where the glue the foam in. Stank to high heaven.
So I cleaned the tank well. I tossed the two heads that came with it and bought new ones.
I still am getting a chemical- almost a machine oil, aftertaste. I do not get it from the EVOD. Not sure whats up.
I have removed wicks, added wicks. I have built coils. I have used silica in my protank, I have built Stainless wicks for it...the flavor remains.

I am familiar with the various vagaries of various juices, so I have tried changing juice, etc.

I may get some straight PG and just soak the whole darn tank i it for a week to see if it helps, but I am definitelally getting a strange taste out of this pup.

No problems with the EVOD, so I can't speak to any issues there (works well with stainless if you are into mesh)
