I see a lot of questions on here about what tank/clearo/carto/etc is best. Being a new vape aficionado (5 weeks now), I went and bought several different styles of juice delivery in my quest to find my happy place. I have evods, protank2, iclear30 and a UDCT carto tank. I've found that they all fill a role, but none works 100% well for everything so far in my opinion.
I vape 50/50 juice at the moment, although I plan to order some higher VG shortly as I think I may have a mild sensitivity to PG, so this may change my observations and opinions once I try it. My PV is an MVP2 and I also use some non-VV egos when I don't want to lug the big guy around.
I prefer the evod for light/fruity/menthol juices or simple flavors, however, more complex flavors don't really come through. My biggest problem with these is if I take them off the ego, I have to adjust the head or it won't make contact on the MVP.
I like the iclear for bakery flavors(banana nut bread, etc) since the warm vapor just feels right with them, but ruins lighter flavors. I'll probably stop using this once the head dies since they are a bit pricey and look nearly impossible to try to rebuild, plus it goes through juice like crazy.
I like the carto tank for tobacco/darker/fuller flavors like hazelnut or coffee. I can't use it at all with lighter flavors, all I can taste is the filler material. I need to try different cartos (especially the fillerless type) because I really like this tank otherwise. I've also started getting a bit of flooding with my current carto (smoktech 2 hole dual coil 2.0 ohm) out of nowhere. Used it most of the day yesterday, then late afternoon it just started flooding like crazy. It's never done that before...
I picked up the Protank 2 on a whim yesterday after the carto flooding debacle. So far, I'm not impressed. I had assumed it would be similar to the evod since they use the same heads, but I'm getting very muted flavor and a TON of burnt hits. I rewicked a head with cotton last night and that was much, much better, good taste/vapor production. Got up this morning; first hit, burned cotton taste. Put a brand new factory head (2.3 ohm) in, muted flavor was back and the burned taste returned within 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure it's a wicking problem. I'm frustrated with it at the moment, but hoping I can fiddle with it a bit and get it running well. Wondering if blocking some airflow would increase the juice draw and help stop the burnt hits. Any other suggestions?
I've had no problems with anything but the protank running at any wattage my MVP2 supports, but at anything over 7w, the protank instantly tastes burnt regardless of the juice in it. I really want to like it, but I'm kind of wishing I'd bought an RBA instead...
