Okay quit smoking cold turkey two months ago and turned into a vape addict. Being an excessive I have 3 Kanger Aero Tanks, 4 Protank 2's with the Aerotank airflow valves on them, 3 Iclear 30S tanks, Itaste 134 Full Size, Itaste VTR, MVP 2.0 and an X Gun. Ton of flavors from about 5-6 vape stores I have visited in the Atlanta area.
Pretty happy with my gear and am considering a Kayfun or Russian 91 rebuildable tank purchase this weekend.
Observations and questions:
Most of my current tanks have 2.0-2.2 ohm coils and I typically use my mods in power/watt mode. I see alot of people on the web and in reading cranking the mods up to 8, 10, or more watts and vaping away. I do this on my setups and while I get a denser/bigger fog after one or two repeated hits it seems to dry the wick and I get a metal/mechanical burning taste that is awful. So I dial mine back in at 6.5 to 7 watts and from there I can typically get 4-5 good hits off it before having to wait awhile for the wick to soak more juice or I'll tilt the mod/tank so that the wick can soak up more juice to avoid dry hits. I have tried adjusting the airflow valve to avoid this but it still happens on occaision when I chain vape.
I'm now reading and researching Kayfun/Russian rebuildables. Lots of information. Will these type of tanks keep the wick wetter to avoid the dry hits that I am describing above and can I adjust the wattage up on my mods with less chance of drying out the wick and getting the burned taste?
One last thing, I see the vape charts on the internet and typically with 1.8-2.2 ohm coils it shows that the power should really never be above 8 without risking burning the coil out, burning juice etc. So whats the point in having a mod that is adjustable to 12-15 watts of power or even 20 on the DNA chip mods?
I'm betting a dripper tip would avoid dry hits all together but I just don't feel like holding a mod in one hand a dripper in the other and dealing with it as well as possibly sticky mess.
Input, thoughts, experiences welcomed... Thanks.
