Hey Guys,
I'm having this persistent problem with my ProTank type devices. I keep getting this nasty metallic taste when I vape. It tastes a lot like the smell of really old, nasty guitar strings; like there's some corrosion going on in there. I can even smell it when the tank is detached from my mod.
I've tried soaking and cleaning it with both alcohol and soapy water. I've even tried replacing the coil head, but I discovered that even the tank itself, without the coil head, still has that nasty smell. My last resort was to thoroughly clean the tank and coil head while wearing gloves, in case it was the acid in my skin [remembering that my fingers tend to kill guitar strings pretty quickly], but it still didn't work.
At first I thought it was the coil head, since when it first happened, I was having to stretch its life to over a month. Then I thought it was the cheap fasttech DCT style protank, but now even my authentic Kanger is doing it. Though, oddly enough, my EVOD has been doing just fine, maybe because it is composed mainly of plastic and not metal.
I'm desperate to fix this, especially since protanks are by far my favorite device to vape! I'm getting tired of using my EVOD since I have to fill it every few hours, and it just looks so dinky on my SiD. PLEASE HELP!!
