Problems with all top coil clearos

[yepimonfire]

Never have been able too get them to work right, not sure what im doing. So far ive tried vivi vison, iclear 30s, CE4, and most recently a champion, done a few others ive forgotten as well. They always give burnt hits, i've tried using thinner higher pg liquid which only sort of helps, but they all still burn and don't wick right. It really stinks because a lot of them give off good vapor when they don't hit badly.

Any ideas where i'm going wrong?

I have never had any success with top coil clearos.

If you are getting burnt/dry hits it sounds like it is not wicking well. Make sure you always keep the tank full and every now and then through the day make sure you turn it upside down to make sure the juice runs all over the top coil.

failing that do what I did and switch to bottom coil tanks. So much better in my opinion

Tried that, and it didn't work.

I'm afraid I am at a bit of a loss then mate, I only lasted about a week with a top clearo before moving to kanger protank style bottom coils/tanks.

Maybe someone else will have an answer for you.

What's your power setting? Might just be too high so the wicking can't keep up.

Or you may be drawing too hard, causing the same thing.

But I've not used a top coil in a long time, either....

Haven't had an issue with my Kanger T2's as far as burnt or dry hits - but I routinely tilt the clearo to keep the tops of the wicks saturated between draws. Not sure about the models you listed, as I've only used the Kanger T2 top coil, everything else I use is bottom coil.

Not sure about your juice, but high VG doesn't wick as well as PG. I have my share of mop tops but like others have stated before I prefer the bottom coils now.

I've never had any issue - in fact I still use iClear 16's (only when traveling) as the top coil tanks are less prone to leaking on an airplane. That said my top coil tank I usually run at 4V max! I also use 70% VG so not sure really.

Certain top coils - Kanger T2's and Vision Vivi Nova 2.5's - work very well for me, and have held up with long coil life using approximately 2/3 PG. I use them at 2.2-2.4 ohms and 3.7 - 4 volts, and find them less harsh than bottom coil devices.

I just got back into Iclear30 and I16's use to never get dry hits from them before but just got alot of them on sale and it seems that every other head will not wick right with burn't hits.I know how much wattage they will take and about tilting when needed also have even modded the plastic cap on head which usally makes it flood.These are legit heads from reliable vender have these heads just got worse in the last year?

I use to use these alot when they first came out and a head would last me weeks with dry burns without much problems and never dry hits...don't rebuild don't have time,mainly use bcc now but seen these on sale for great price and thought I would put them back in my arsenal.Any info would be greatly appreciated,especially if there is a fix for these heads with bad wicking.TIA
