I have been vaping full time for nearly 2 weeks now. My setup is a Vision Spinner 1300 battery with a Protank 3 Mini tank.
My wife is using the same setup and we have been switching 3 tanks between the two of us.
I am very impressed with the Protank 3 Mini, it provides a vape that I didn't think was possible compared to some of the trial puffs I had had on friend's ecigs.
The last few days things have been getting worse though. Sometimes I am experiencing a strange kind of sharp and moist hit that catches the throat, with another tank and coil, I feel that more effort is required to pull a draw. I understand that maintenance is required and have been rinsing the tank and coils thoroughly every 2 or so fills. It just seems a little early for the coils to be going? (I do not vape during the day apart from at weekends and tend to go through 1ml on weekdays and 3ml at weekends).
I pulled the chimney and out of two of the coils last night, and found one was considerably blacker than the other. Is there a right way to clean these properly and extend their life, I have read some people saying dry burning is good, but others saying it is a terrible idea. Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent guide to clean and extend the life of the coils?
My next questions comes on replacement coils. I understand the rules of Ohm's law and the relationship between Voltage, Resistance and Power, but what are the other factors affected by the resistance of the coils.
The coils that came with the tanks are all 1.5 Ohm, I generally used these at around 3.6-3.8 V
The replacement heads I bought are 2.0 Ohm, I have tried one of these and just feel I don't get as good a hit, it takes more effort, even with the voltage at 4.2+.
What are the reasons for this, do higher Ohm coils produce less vapour? Will they drain battery faster? etc. etc.
If anyone happens to have written a complete idiots guide to cleaning and choosing the right Protank coil then that would be just dandy!
