O.K replaced head today on Vivi Nova with a 1.8,Also got new juice today from backwoods brew,Malty toffee 70% Vg 30% PG
It seems the more I chain vape I start to lose flavor to no flavor,
I keep having to put it down,And If I put it down for 15 min, It starts up with sweet flavor.What is up with this??
1. Is this a battery is getting low and needs to recharge issue.
2. juice needs to steep
3. Are wicks are too long.(The wicks reach down to the line before the threading,Are they short enough or should I trim them,And if so how short.
This is one of those issues that bothers me about vaping at such an early stage.:(

before you start modding your gear, take a step back. it's not uncommon to vape a juice and the taste go away. change up with a different flavor now and then, and drink lots of water in between. once i start getting a muted flavor, i drink some water, return to the same flavorand it comes back again. vaping will dry you up. i have some fav flavors, but sometimes you might have to put them away for a few hrs. before coming back to them. even juice that i didn't like will taste surprisingly well when rotated. tastebuds are kinda weird like that. i'll bet that is where you are with the taste. i always try to rotate 3 diff flavors throughout the course of a day.

A 1.8ohm atomizer vapes juice fast (hotter), and high VG juices (thicker) wick slower. Be sure to turn your PV horizontal and roll it every few hits. Try to keep the wicks as wet as possible. good luck
