One of my ProTanks is wimping out on me, looking for help

[Discord]

I have a ProTank on a VAMO that is producing way way less vapor than it was before. I sometimes have issues with it being a bit too airy, but it's never dropped off vapor production this much.

The battery is freshly charged, and another ProTank I have fires up fine, tons of vapor, but this one just seems to be so week. I changed the head to a new one, still the same issue. I've been vaping this same juice (TastyFinger) for a week or two without issues before, so I know it's not that either. I really can't figure out what's going on.

Not the battery, not the juice, not the coil. I really don't know what's going on, so I'm looking for some advice.

try another head besides the 2 you have and see.

I was getting this wimpy effect, but then changed the head, same result. I don't have any more spare heads right now (ordered a few last week should be here this week). I suspect it's possible that one head could just start acting bad, then the next one I put in was already bad, but that feels like a long-shot

I Would Rewick It, That Should Solve It.

just ordered wicks and other RBA supplies yesterday, I guess I can vape on the "good" protank I still have till that all gets here ><

Is it flooded? Do you hear gurgling when u do a dry pull?

Buy the evod replacement heads to reduce the airy draw. They screw right on.

no gurgling at all, totally clear. and just to be clear, it IS vaping, it's just a lot less vapor than before. I am on the NO2 mode on my VAMO (before anyone asks) and the other ProTank works flawlessly, as this one did until today. It's odd too, with this juice I don't get the PW rattle snake, but on my other juice (that has a much higher VG content) I get the rattlesnake all the time.

I'll check that out, but I just bought like 10 replacement heads for the protank >< I'm also going to try a trick someone suggested with using a particular eGo Thread Cover to get the ProTank to sit in the VAMO tightly without having to over-tighten (that's on order too)

Still new with vamo and KPTs myself, but it sounds like the little rubber grommet/cup is expanding and restricting juice flow to the wicks. You can either flip it so the cup is up, or snip little triangles where the wicks are.
Re-wicking with cotton is a fine option as well.

I actually pulled out the cup thing and removed one of the 3 wicks (one is wrapped, 2 over the top of that, removed the top one) and it's working a lot better now. it's weird because it worked fine before stock, but then stopped working well. now with the cup and 1 wick out it works like it did before. I suspect it's something to do with the thickness of the juice, but it's opposite of what I thought it would be, because the juice that's working perfectly is very high VG in comparison. I'd think that thicker juice would have more trouble, not less.
