Not getting any flavor

[quest]

Hi, I recently purchased some betelgeuse, virus, and custard's last stand 2 weeks ago. I decided to try some betelgeuse first because I figured the other 2 would benefit from some steeping. To my surprise, I couldn't really taste anything. So I put it in my cabinet and let it steep for 2 weeks. Tried it out again but the flavor was one dimensional and subtle. I couldn't taste any raspberry, mango, pineapple, or pineapple. Every now and then I could taste a warm sugary sweetness but that's about it. So here I am for some insight!
My current setup is an ego-c battery with a 2.0 ohm evod glass clearomizer. I have a feeling that my setup just sucks because I've tried everything else (getting rid of vapor's tongue, changing atomizer heads, cleaning my tank, steeping). Perhaps I need more power to heat up the liquid, which my ego battery can't provide? Also I'm getting the itaste mvp 2 with a kayfun lite+ soon so I hope I'll be able to taste something then. Thoughts?

You should definitely taste using the MVP. At this time that's what I have also but I do have an EGO-Twist and run all these juices through similar tanks and generally 1.8ohm coils. I get plenty of flavor from the Twist and it depends on the juice whether I go from 3.6v to as high as 4.2v.
First question I can think of is...How long have you been vaping? It took several weeks before my taste buds recovered to the point I can now taste a TON more. I also don't seem to get vapor's tongue any longer after the first month to month and a half.

I started about a month ago. I don't think it has anything to do with my taste buds because I had juice from a different vendor and I could taste everything it was described to taste like. The one thing I changed before getting a hold of some nicoticket juice was my setup. Before, I was vaping with the standard atomizer that came with the ego-c starter kit. The flavor was quite nice on that atomizer. After all the juice ran out, I order some nicoticket juice along with a evod glass clearomizer. That's when the flavor just suddenly vanished. Leads me to conclude something is wrong with the setup I'm using

I recently got some nicoticket and it was full of flavor, straight out of the mail. But I never get much flavor from bottom coil devices like the evod. A lot of people love them, but for me they mute the flavor a lot. Maybe try the juice with your old atomizer and see if you taste more flavor. Good luck.

Well it was worth a shot, you could be correct. Perhaps some of the more experienced folks will chime in with some more thoughts. I've not had an evod clearo so I can't say, I use the Aspire ET-S bdc and have no issues at all with flavor as well as a handful of Smok RBC's and flavor is fine for me in all.
Hope you can get it figured out so you can truly enjoy these delicious juices.

FYI the BG juice for me is a mango primary, I don't get a ton of the other flavors just a hint on those.

EVODs are great little clearos, at least they were. There have been some quality control problems from Kanger with ALOT of bad heads.
I think you got batch of crummy coils. Almost every Kanger head I've had this year was bad out of the pack, or only lasted a day or two. I had to rebuild them all. If you're not rebuilding yet, its worth it.

I would lean towards bad coils. When I was using pro tanks I was having really good luck, flavor and vapor production for a few weeks.
Bought a hand full of new coils which were the same resistance as the ones being used. Filled up three tanks with different flavors and new coils one morning and then ran out the door for work. Couldn't get a good vape all day. Emptied the PT's and never used them again. It was a helpless feeling not have a good vape on a 12hr shift. Carto tanks is the direction I went. I enjoyed better flavor and vapor right away. Then that went south.

But that's another story for another time.

Try another coil, tank, atomizer etc. NT liquid is full to the brim with flavor.

Have you thought about rebuilding your coils and using a cotton wick. I had the same problem and cotton cured all my taste issues.

Join CASAA (they do good work). PM me, and I'll send you a few coils built with micro-coils and rayon wicking. It'll up your game tremendously. They'll be brand new, I just pluck that dog of a coil Kanger puts in, put the micro in them, get'em firing right, then wick, chimney back in, and they'll be on there way.

We can't have a family member vaping on stock coils . . .

Yeah my inclination is to think it's a coil issue. I am super picky on juice and real only enjoy very strong, in your face flavors. (Nothing subtle about me even in vaping lol)
I had a similar experience with CLS, over a month later I either don't get much flavor from it or it's just not for me. But Betelgeuse and the Virus are huge, complex and amazing flavors. I think the Kayfun Lite and the MVP will change your vaping experience 1000%.

I agree it could be the heads, also did you rinse the evod before using? oils could be left over from manufacturing and could cause flavor issues....
best of all take up Flavoreds offer, its easy and cant be beat

I remake my PT heads and the flavors really pop for me at 1.1-1.5 ohms with cotton wicks and micro coils. I have tasted flavors that I never got before stock heads. Any one who wants help rebuilding PT heads please PM me...it's all free because I LOVE rebuilding coils! I mean it!

Or send me your used heads...don't throw them away!

Well, we can fix that, young lady. I'll call you out in the CASAA PIF thread, and we'll put you to work making coils for new members.
