MT3s burnt?

[apuck]

Hello all!

I've been vaping for quite awhile and several months back I got a good deal on some MT3s. I enjoyed the MT3s even though I'm not getting anywhere near the life out of them that I was with the Vivi Novas. Lately though, I'm experiencing a bad burned flavor from them, and the occasional dry hit feeling. I make sure the tank is full, I make sure the coil and wick are soaked, but still burning. I've tried changing heads, and am still having the same issue. I'm not sure why this started all of a sudden, I'm not doing anything differently than I've been doing. The heads I'm using are 2.5ohm, and I'm dialing way down to 3.0-3.4 volts (I usually run high 3s and low 4s) and I've tried several different devices (VAMO, SVD, Itaste vv, Ego, Spinner, SID, etc.) still no change. I'm using the same old juice that I've always used which is just a 50/50 mix and some flavoring. Here is the really strange part, if I unscrew the base and take it out for just a second and screw it back on, everything is great again for about 2-3 minutes then back to burnt.

I'm wondering if maybe I just got a couple of "bad" heads? I'm not sure what would make them "bad" though, as they are reading at 2.5 and are brand new.

Any suggestions would be marvelous since I'm stuck with about 3-4 months worth of heads, and I'm not really interested in having to order a bunch of new tanks/heads.

Thanks.

Try removing some of flavor wick? There should be about 3 or 4 pieces of flavor wicks. You can try removing 1 or 2. That should help.

It's not wicking properly. I find that sometime, removing all the flavor wick is required as factory coils may not be optimal.

Good luck.

You can also check how to on Utube for protank or evods since they use the same coils.

Cheers

If it's a burnt taste, then it's either overheating or a wicking issue - most likely the latter, since your voltage is actually kind of low for that resistance coil.

You seem to have done what you need to prime the coils, and your juice hasn't changed, so I'm thinking it's some bad coil units. Sadly, this happens entirely too often these days with the kanger units, and I've experienced it.

Try taking out the top flavour wick to aid in saturation, but it could have to be chalked up to bad QC.

Over heating? Hardly
3.0-3.4v with a 3.5ohm head - knowing Kanger(2.5 to 2.8ohm) Is Cool to luke warm.
E-liquid build on on wick/coil. Becomes a burnt mess.
Opening Floods fresh liquid around the gunk and allows a fresh vape for a few seconds until the liquid is spent.

Are you purchasing Original Kanger Heads or Generic replacements?
Have you considered purchasing the T3s Bases and using the new style heads?

Need to address wicking and bring the heat back up.
Your Vaping around 3.8 watts when you should be near 6-7 watts for good performance.

Update:

I forgot about this thread so sorry to take so long to get back and update you all.

This is where things get strange... I took the heads that I was having an issue with and put them into a different tank (body/housing?) and this fixed the problem. I have no explanation for it. Exact same juice, exact same heads, exact same type of tank, but I'm back up to 4.1+ volts and tasting smooth. I thought I was cracking up and so I put them (the heads) back into the old tank and got the burnt taste again within a minute or two.

Any ideas why this would happen? I wouldn't think that there could be any restriction in the flow of juice to the coil, but that is all I can think of.
