Help please :)

[Sandiej02]

Just bought a new Infinity Pro and need some advice and/or help. First, it's a beauty and the vapor production is outstanding. The people at Notcigs are the best ... very helpful and just "nice people". They're great.

My problem is that I've been vaping an Ego for over a year and was looking for something to increase both vapor AND flavor. The Infinity has definetely increased the vapor ... but I can't get ANY FLAVOR from it. I've read the forum ... and have tried EVERYTHING, believe me (changing atomizers, cartos, omhs, tanks, soaking cartos the condom way, etc.) Maybe it's just built "differently" - for vapor and not flavor?? Not sure.

Anyone know HOW to increase the flavor? That's what I was mainly looking for ... increasing the flavor I get from my juices ... and I'm getting VERY little from my Infinity, if any.

Help.

PS I was told there may be an adapter that would increase it. True? If so, would it give me more flavor than my old trusty Ego?

Gee Sandie, I'm sorry you are having an issue with flavor! You've tried a bunch of things, the simplest thing to try with VV is dialing it down or up. You've tried doing that, right? The only other thing I can think of is to ask for an extra shot of flavor when ordering your juice.

Someone else may have other things to try and will be along shortly. In the mean time, I hope you figure it out. (This is the first time I've heard of this issue)

 

[Sandiej02]

Thanks for the reply Tracy ... and yes, I've tried dialing it down and up ... doesn't help. I always do get my juice with an extra flavor shot - it's good on my eGo - thought it would be even better on my IP. Nothing ... hopefully it's a simple fix and someone has the answer. Thanks again.

 

[908Tracy]

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you on this one. With your dial set at green, it should be the very same taste as your eGo, as it's the same voltage. (3.7)

What about the PG/VG ratio? I hear that PG carries the flavor better. Also atty or cardo on the ego? atty or cardo on the Infinity? Perhaps that the difference i.e. atty on ego vs. cargo on Infinity.

 

[Sandiej02]

Tried that, too. Tried every place on the dial. The vape does get "warmer", and there's plenty of vapor ... but the flavor's not there no matter what. But ... thanks again. I'll check back later and see if someone has an answer or experienced the same thing. I'm "crossing my fingers".

 

[Sandiej02]

Thanks for the reply dmako ... I've tried everything I have. Started with the Boge 3omh carto ... and then everything else I had (including tank with 2omh carto) ... same problems on all. I'm using a 50/50 mix, all with extra flavor shots.

 

[dmako]

All the same juice vendor? I think Pink spot makes one if the most flavorful juice

 

[Sandiej02]

I get juice from a couple different vendors ... always extra flavor shots and have always tasted very good. Never heard of Pink Spot, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the info dmako.

At the end of the day, the pv is a power delivery system, it does not do anything to the eliquid or carto other than provide a consistent voltage.

Holding the pv, carto pointed up, spin the wheel towards the right, so the red dot appears, and you get higher voltage, topping out at 5.5v a bit past the red. Higher voltage directly equates to more warmth and vapor, however if you overshoot, yes, the flavor may actually decrease and/or taste "burnt".

Rotate the dial to the left, so the green dot shows, and voltage is decreasing, down to about 3.5V when at the stop, just past the green dot.

At the lowest voltage, 3.5v, you are just slightly above ego voltage. The vape warmth, vapor quantity, and taste will be just a bit more than an ego.

Since you seem to be seeing the power (warmth and vapor), it sounds like the pv is working ok, you either have a weak bottle of eliquid, have overshot the eliquid maximum workable voltage, crud carto or atty, or just have a dead taste buds day.

I've never heard of Pink Spot either. They seem a little more pricey then other vendors, are they worth the few extra dollars? I'm currently in the market for a new juice vendor and don't mind paying a little extra if it is good.

That's got to be frustrating Sandie! Normally the flavor should get better at a little higher voltage. The main things that will effect flavor are your atty/carto and voltage. Out of curiosity, are you still smoking ciggs? Absolutely not a judgement ( I still smoke a few a day) but it takes time for your taste buds to adjust...and sometimes I still have days where everything I vape tastes blah. When I got my first Buzz it took a week or so to gradually bump up the voltage while my mouth got used to it.

You say that as you dial it up you get warmer vapor so it sounds like your IPro dial is working. Do you have a volt meter to test it with? This is an interesting problem and I'm stumped unless your buds are just being rebellious

ETA: LOL Mark! You and I were posting at the same time...and thinking the same things!

 

[BuzzKill]

Ya if you dial the IPro down to the green mark it will have the same power as the Ego , I think you are just used to that atty you have on the EGO , sometimes an atty will be killer and just work great and you are used to this , a Boge carto does NOT taste like an atty really.

The voltage is doing what it is supposed to do that is why you are seeing a change in vapor production. This is what the Ipro does control the voltage so you issue is really one of the carto/atty you are using , D oyou have an EGO - 510 adapter ?? that way you could use that atty.

 

[Sandiej02]

Thanks for the replies everyone ... appreciate your input. Ha,ha ... no, my taste buds are working fine today. But what BuzzKill says may be the answer (I hope). I'm use to vaping on an eGo with Smok dual coil xl cartos (the big black ones). I get flavor pretty good on them - was looking for "more" (we're all looking for that "perfect" vape you know). I did order an adapter for my IP yesterday (510 extension) that hopefully would let me use all the Smok cartos I already have ... do you know if THIS WILL WORK ON MY IP? I think they're 1.6 omh dual coils. Or what do you recommend? I also ordered a Stone II tank system that's on it's way. Thanks again!

1.6 ohm will work up to about 4.7 volts , higher than your ego for sure ! I hope that is it , my taste buds are all over the place . The smoketechs should screw right on ! unless they have the Ego SKIRT ????

 

[Sandiej02]

No ... I think they'll be able to screw on. Hope that's the "fix" ... I really like the IP - just need the "taste". Ha,ha. You've REALLY helped ... and we'll see what happens when I get the adapter here. Thanks BuzzKill!

The only thing that I can think of that could be causing your problem is air flow. If you take an unpowered draw from both the the ego and the IP does the draw feel the same? To much restriction of the airflow can cause loss of flavor. Depending on the Attu that you use, the screw used in the connector on the IP can block the hole at the bottom of the atty restricting air flow. It is normally worse with cartos but I have ran across a few attys that have a problem with this. I got a 510 to 510 adapter from empire when I got a drip shield that I ordered. This eliminated this issue for me.

 

[Sandiej02]

Thanks Prophetz ... checked it - the draw seems about the same to me. Can you tell me what type of cartos, tank or attys you use? What omh do you usually use? Just checking ... Also - is it Empiremods you're talking about?

I think the element affects flavor the most is the carto/atty. I've tried quite a few and I've found the IKV Fusions produce the best flavor for a carto. The IKV i06 atty produces the best flavor I've EVER found.

Sounds good! Where can I can these? And are they a 510 connection or do you need an adapter? Do you use them in a tank, or how do you use them? Thanks Wharf Rat!
