Kanger Protank -- anyone vaping BWB Malty?

[whatmonkey]

Over the last year or so I quit everything, then back to vaping, then back to analogs for awhile.

Trying to move in the right direction again, I now have Protank/Vision Spinner as of the last 2 hours or so, and I'm loving it.

BWB Malty has always been my very favorite juice, from the first time I tried it. However, in both my Ego-T and Ego-C it would trash my coils beyond redemption amazingly fast.

Thriftiness (rebuildability) is a component of why I picked the Protank, and I'm not averse to following one of the guides that has been posted recently regarding rewicking/recoiling the head for the Protank -- but I don't want to be doing it all the darn time.

So I'm curious if anyone is running Malty in their protank, and whether hardware seems to cope with it well, or whether it just gunks everything up too fast.

I can't believe you asked this question!! Malty is my favorite juice also. I got my pro tank a couple of days ago and Malty is the first and only juice I have tried so far. I'm extremely concerned because I can NOT get that great Malty flavor out of this protank!! I just don't get it. Everyone raves about the pro tank and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This same juice taste great from my evods and my phiniac tank but the pro tank is a bust. (so far anyway)

I don't do any rebuilding of hardware, so sorry I can't help you with that. I have not had any problems with Malty gunking up anything. A few times I have added a couple of drops of distilled water to my Malty to thin it out a bit.

Good luck with your P tank and your Malty. I am going to keep looking for info that may help me like this pro tank. I got 2 of them so I hope things get better.

I did see a few threads that mentioned removing one of the "flavor wicks" for thick juices in order to get good wicking.

I'll see if I can dig up a link.

Also (and this is just a guess -- I have never had a variable voltage battery before) I wonder if you might need to up the voltage a bit?

I've vaped a few tanks of Malty in one of my Protanks with zero issues. I clean and dry-burn every other day or so, regardless of what juice I've been using.

I'm currently vaping malty mixed with boba's on a protank and it's darn good, havent had to remove any wicks yet.
Facemeat, how thick is your flavor wick? Are u using a small piece of the 3mm wick?

@bullymom and anyone else who is interested --


So I discovered going through my desk drawer that I had ~25ml of Malty left from before I slipped back to analogs. I had thinned this significantly with distilled water trying to get it to work in my Ego-C, but it is still quite a bit thicker than the 50/50 mix I've been using so far in the protank.

Filled up my tank with it, and have to agree that the flavor wasn't as strong as I remember. i suppose this could be age, however.

So no worries there, but I did notice that I had to pause longer between "toots" or I'd get the occaisonal dry hit. (Not super-duper-gagging-dry, just off and slightly burnt.) Adjusting voltage didn't seem to prevent this. Over the course of the day, the juice was also becoming quite a bit darker, but malty has always done this for me.

Eventually I threw caution to the wind and (carefully) yanked about a third of the flavor wick material as I've seen FACE MEAT suggest in other threads.

Now it's wicking great, no flooding issues (so far) as I was worried I might get, and I do think it boosted the flavor a bit, but maybe that's in my head.

And -- I'd forgotten what clouds of vapor Malty can produce. Even being old and having a bit of water added (if I recall it's at least 10% distilled water now -- I got pretty desperate trying to make my Ego-C happy with it), there's easiy 2x the cloud (if not more) as I was getting from the brand new 50/50 that I was vaping all day yesterday...

Just a bit of anecdotal observation for anyone who might be looking at vaping Malty or otherwise thick juices...
