I just upgraded to the SID VV/VW and I should be getting out in Thursday. It goes from 3v to 6v and up to 15 watts I think. What would be the best combo with this to get the best experience using it to its full potential? I am currently using an ego spinner and have been experimenting with different clearomizers. I have the problem of getting a burnt taste from most of them even at the lowest volt setting. Anything to combat this? Thanks!

Hi Cowboysfan. So the issue may well be the fact that the wicks in your clearos cant supply your coil with enough liquid to keep pace with your vaping. The other issue that may fall into play could be the liquid you are using is more delicate than your preferences allow.....
I am a high wattage vaper. I typically use a 2Ω coil cartomizer both in and out of a tank, at 5-5.7volts. Nothing special just a Boge on a normal day. I also use the Vision Vivi Nova, with a 1.8Ω head right around 5.3volts. I also have a Rebuildable atomizer that I like to use at 6.4volts with a 1.9Ω coil. All of these configurations would wreak havoc on a delicate liquid, These are go-to devices for me but from experience there are many things in the vaping world that come into play when you are having issues like you are describing. All things considered My first inclination is to place fault on the combination of the wicks not feeding enough liquid to the coil coupled with a liquid that does not perform well at higher wattage........ So I would suggest you take a look at a standard cartomizer setup and get accustomed to keeping them wet and happy. They are picky but once you get that challenge mastered you can pretty much feel out most any other feed system. If clearos are more your speed then the bottom coil units like the eVod may suit you better than what you are currently using. The one thing I would advise you to avoid (for now) is the rebuildable units. They are great once you get them built foryour prefrences, but there is not much more in the vaping vorl that is disheartening than having one that just wont cooperate and you have nothing to vape..... Save that for when you have stored up some extra patience and have plenty of good working feed devices that you can fall back on while you master building your own wick and coil..... Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Ok that makes sense. But what kind of liquid would be better? I am currently using full vg. Could that be the problem? I know vg is thicker so maybe it's not wicking properly? I am going to start getting 50/50 liquid. Do you think that could help? Thank you
Well, yes the thickness of your liquid may be one of the faults, but the other thing that may be part to blame would be the flavoring itself. If you have a flavor profile set then your best bet would be to find a few different versions of that flavor, in different vg/pg ratios. See if the thickness is the issue or the actual flavor itself.
For example. I have a tobacco flavor that really works well at the wattage that I normally use(~11-15watts)...... I have three others that are different versions of the same flavor and they do not work well at all above about 8watts.... The flavor of all of them is very similar at 7 watts, but once they get higher in wattage they begin to loose flavor or taste burnt all together. Not all flavors are created equal, even if they taste the same(or similar) at one specific wattage......
I think your Vg thick liquid may be the place to begin tinkering with the liquid mixture to see if thinning it would help with the burning flavor. You could even make a small test batch with say 5ml of that exact liquid and a very small amount of distilled water, add a few drops, shake and check your thickness. I personally use all Vg liquids that I mix distilled water in at 12% water by volume to thin my liquid to a consistency near that of pure Pg base liquids. If you thin your current liquid it will reduce your nicotine concentration but you will know better how to address your current issue.

im amazed with the voltage you use at those resistances... lol for the 1.8 ohm vivi nova just a standard ego at 3.7V is the perfect match for me. but hey, to each their own, YMMV
Rule of thumb is start low and work your way up! A lot of guys take the resistance of the device and add +2 to it to get a good starter voltage. Wattage doesn't care what tank you have on it so take 8 watts as probably the most common ballpark figure and go from there.
I vape 50-70% VG and yes, VG will make the juice a LOT thicker and slower to wick well. I think the bottom coil devices like the kangers are preferred for thicker juice but don't take my word for it as I've never tried one.
Every flavor will act differently at different power settings, whether you are using VV or VW or DC. Some will taste better with a little less power, some will take some more power to really taste like they should. I have one favorite of mine, a "Caramel Apple", that half a watt down and I can taste more apple on my tongue during the inhale... half a watt up and I taste more of the caramel on the exhale. I try to find that happy spot in the middle
