Issues with Kanger Evod2 starter kit

[Tunka]

I'm a lazy ..... I started with a Stardust kit from RTV in Tennessee. Two 1000mAh batteries, two CE4 tanks, case, charger and my choice of two juices. I am pleased with the CE4 tanks, good vape plus a SCREW on drip tip. No leaks, AT ALL! Sure they are disposable but for me they are fine. Anyway...

I bought two EVOD2 tanks from a EV retailer that deals in EV stuff exclusively. I am so disappointed with those pieces of ...... Drip tips are so loose that they rattle, leaks galore, almost no vape at all. I filled them, let them sit, primed them with no voltage and pfft. IMHO, crappy gear. I don't have the time or the desire to mess about with changing wicks, buying more heads, making wicks, etc. Like I said, I'm a lazy ..... If I buy something, I expect it to work. I had heard Kanger was having issues with these that's why I bought TWO. Figuring if one was bad....lmao, doom on me, both were bad. I'm keeping them. Maybe, once I retire, I'll have time to mess with them

Keep on chuffin'

Kanger BCC clearos are solid and reliable--but there's a learning curve, like with any other piece of vaping equipment. I use them all the time and never had a problem, except for an occasional gurgle (eVod only--when the eliquid is really low in the tank). My favorite Kangers are T3S, Protanks 2 (mini and regular, especially with Aerotank base) and Aerotank, not necessarily in that order.

Check this list--maybe you'll find a solution to your problem there. Good luck!

Kanger Troubleshooting 101:

If your clearo is flooding, the connections are not tight enough--or too tight. Keep reading.

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. Do not over vape, chain vape, power vape. Let the juice travel to the coil between drags.

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. If your liquid is super thin, you can thicken it with a bit of VG (USP--pharma grade) or you can add another strand of cotton to your flavor wick. Don't add too much or you'll choke your atomizer and get a dry hit.

Also, make sure you're vaping at correct wattages; I like 5.5-6.5 watts for single coils. Evod 2 is a dual coil, so it requires more wattage than a single coil. Try using higher voltage--start at 4 volts and increase voltage as/if neccesary.
