Kanger aero mini question

[hyck]

I am using a e-go c-twist, and after my 1st few days went and got a Kanger aero mini. Seems I have had nothing but trouble.

It has leaked and also constantly gurgles. When I vape w it for more than a few minutes it gets really, really hot (the button on the e-go gets hot too). The juice starts good, but I get burnt taste after a few minutes - correlates with the heating up I think. Also, it seems really 'airy' no matter where I put the airflow dial.

I have done the blow into kleenex method and taken apart, washed, and reassembled several times. It doesn't seem lime anything is loose or broken ... but it just doesn't seem right.

Any advice or tricks? Thanks!

the aero would have come with dual coils;
they need more power.

your ego twist probably cant handle that power;

if you can get a 2 ohm coil it should work better;
otherwise I think you need to run it on a bigger battery; like an mvp2 or an 18650 mod.

Seems too much liquid is getting into your head. See if this helps:
Try vaping on the biggest airhole. More air, less liquid that gets into your head
Get thicker eliquid. Most of the time 60/40 will vape well
Try to keep your liquid in the fridge, specially in summer
Get a Kleenex and roll it tightly, sticking it into your chimney.Turn the clearo upside down, blowing from the airhole to lodge any liquid or condensation behind.
Turn up the voltage just a bit. Normally 2v over your head's ohms (for instance 3.8V for a 1.8 ohm head).

If all fails, the head might be dirty. Wash it under hot tap water, as hot as it can be, from both the chimney and the bottom side for a couple of minutes. Then leave it in alcohol for a couple of days, rinse and try again.

Thanks for the quick replies! I'm going to try all your suggestions. One other question. Would this happen possibly because I was using a dark juice (a coffee flavor) in it? Looms like the blend is 65% pg / 35% vg. I went ahead and got a Kanger aero (not the mini) so I didn't have to refill as often and so far it is awesome - but I have only used a clearer juice in it.

Thànks again! Will post how it works out.

darker liquids tend to gunk coils faster.

high pg liquid wicks faster; more likely to flood a bottom coil.

Sounds like just a bad coil to me. The unit heating up excessively and performance falling off is one of the signs the coil is going for me. Depending on where you bought it, it my have come with garbage coils.
I see you solved you problem with a better tank but you may want to try one just to have an alternate clearo.

I am using an aerotank mini also and it was leaking too at first. I found that taking it apart and cleaning it really well, and changing the coil solved all my problems. The key for me was not over or under tightening everything. The base got really hot also but changing the coil solved that issue.

I have the weakest ego twist there is with the regular sized Kanger Aero on top, and it works just fine.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Looks like my aero mini needed a real clean, rather than a rinse under the sink! I did a hot hot water soak, wiped all the nook and crannies w a qtip, and soaked in some vodka. Dried all out and put in a new head (is that the right term?) - doing much better. Not as hot, and good vapor again.
