Protank and EVOD replacement head issues, please help

[xKrazYx]

Hello, I noticed they don't make EVOD replacement heads anymore (with the shorter cylinder) so now I have to use the Protank/EVOD heads, which are noticeable suckier than the old EVOD ones. The biggest problem i'm running into is that I get SO MANY dry hits. I used to get NONE with the EVOD head. Even though they look the same, i'm sure something's different here.

Does anyone else have this issue? I removed one of the wicks, and it's still doing it. The only fix i've found so far was leaving my ecig in my hot car, which makes the juice a little thinner.

I see this post is a bit late but for anyone else having issues... I have had similar problems with Evods and getting dry/burnt hits. My issues at first were with the factory wicks. I would dry-burn, clean, put back together, and more dry hits or flooding. I then took out the factory wicks, and re-wicked with cotton, overall much much better, but there is a learning curve to this.

I have found that if I use too little cotton, I get dry/burned hits as well as flooding. By rolling the cotton more firmly, and getting the cotton snug inside the coil (but not tight inside the coil) the heads worked much better. Now, if you are vaping at lower volts, say 3.5-4v, and you juice is thinner (80-20PG/VG - 50-50PG/VG) then you will need a flavor wick to prevent flooding. My Protank worked great w/ the flavor wick (1.8ohm @7-8W), but if I turned up the watts to 12-15W then that flavor wick started to burn as the coil needed juice faster than the flavor wick could supply. By removing the flavor wick I can fire at 15W without burning, and the single wick in the coil keeps up. If I drop the watts back down to 7-8W, without the flavor wick, then I start to get flooding as that extra space where the flavor wick would sit is over-wicking and the coil is not keeping up the the juice-flow.

So it is def a balancing act. You need to have the right balance for your set-up... just enough wick, but not to much and not too little. Lots of trial and error.
