So I was using 2.2ohm coils with my mini protank and it bit the dust. Went to my local shop and alas they were out of them. I purchased a 1.8 head and promptly removed the flavor wicks like I do. I started using it and got dry burnt hit after dry burnt hit. I replaced the wicks and haven't had a dry hit yet. Maybe luck maybe it's working as indended. Thoughts???
I think I found the purpose of flavor wicks

I'll have to experiment with this when the stock coils on my EVOD go south and I rebuild them. I haven't had any trouble with mine just yet but am very open to experimentation.
I will read the other post ASAP. Playing bar trivia now playing with my vape trying to get it to work correctly. I really do think the extra wicks help to prevent burning juice on an ego with the lower res coil.
You didn't say what type of device you were running the mini Protank on, but if you are using an Ego battery with 3.7 volts the 1.8 ohm coils are putting out more watts (heat) than the 2.2 ohm ones. Taking out the flavor wicks could have cut down on the delivery of the juice to the coil which was hotter, thus causing the dry hits. This would be especially true if the wire was wrapped too tight on the main wick inside the coil which would choke off the juice delivery. The flavor wick could have been bring more juice to the hotter coil.
Before 'flavor wicks' showed up, Modders were placing 'extra' wicking on top of coils to prevent dry hits.
