One other problem I am having that is more then likely cause by my juice ( cinnageek which is a sweet cinnamon juice from Vapegeek.com )
I must change my wick and dry burn at least every other day or vapor and throat hit go to crap, the coil will be all gunked up and take a few to light up when I dry burn it.
could I be vaping the juice to high, 11 watts on a mvp and causing it be caramelized?
it never tastes burnt unless I have my wick to tight and its not wicking well.
I have had a coil in for nearly a week before wrapping a new one but it was still good just wanted to try something different.
How long does a micro with 30 gauge last y'all.
Imagine cooking and butter. If you heat it really fast and not too much you can really punch the flavor. Too long, you pour it on your popcorn and it's flat. As it cools some flavor recovers but its not rich. It's lost the creaminess leaving it, perhaps, greasy? Cook it too fast and too hot and it starts to caramelize, yes.
The way I see it you're looking for the optimal heat or energy for that juice in that pan (the device). On good cookware that result could be easier or better because of the quality (denseness) of the material
more efficient heat distribution. On the 5 buck pan from xyzmart you can fry it in a heartbeat, and yes, scorch it.
On the KPT, clearo's in general, caramelization is a problem. I run thick juices or variations starting with my main Johnson Creek varieties. The closer I run to 8W the less tank time I get before I start to see discoloration. Once it starts, there's no return. And continued application of significant heat only accelerates the process. Too much heat applied and the carbonation on the coil starts to spit off, you may not hear it. But you can taste it and even
feel it as a gritty taste or throat sensation in the vape.
It's been my observation, even as I try to limit the exuberance to under 8W, that once a tank falls below 45-50% cap., that's when trace discoloration or texture changes begin. Usually on a second fill. My max time for 95% VG is about 3 fills from 1/3. All of this to round up on strictly 30g using contact coils between 1/16" and 2mm.
I'm not thrilled about that arlien. It's a lot of work maintaining these tanks on flavorful juices. But it is what it is. You wanna press that gas pedal and sometimes the speed limits at 10W, expect to hit the end of the road sooner. Pure physics.
I've been busy here trying to find ways for newb's like me to quickly efficiently produce tight builds with satisfying results. That's been the focus of my posts. And I appreciate everybody's contribution on this thread confirming efficient basic building techniques and results. But I am experimenting in a lot of areas myself. And your question once we get beyond controlling hot spots and flooding a very good one.
Myself I agree with Lance Wallen, the creative talent at his mod company Steam Monkey, and no slouch on the
theories of electricity and flavor I don't believe that the optimal of flavor for a human is necessarily at the extremes of either low resistance or high wattage. A lot of nice parlor tricks may be made of these or delivery methods that provide the equivalent of huge acceleration in heat transfer. I think the answer is right under our noses. And the solution the most efficient application of energy to those fine scrambled eggs we have as infinite variety of juices. Within that there's a lot of room to play without burning the pan.
I'm personally heading in the direction of ceramic based devices like the Ody and Immo. They have the potential to provide the cool efficient heat transfer characteristics necessary to max out flavor. But the builds, like those for clearo's, must be carefully precise. My experience with the the ceramic based Immo has impressed me that the balance of power and flavor is in a carefully balanced center. And I'm working on finding the tightest builds on that device as well as Kanger's.
I appreciate your observations on twisted wire. Although not practical to my discussion on this forum. We share a similar observation though. I'm no longer as concerned about resistance and increasingly more interested in applied wire surface values. Still for the beginner it's important to know where the
center of the flavor band is and learn efficient wind methods to target it.
A recent quick read consolidated some important observations I've seen spread all over ECF on power and flavor

Although I love pushing the envelope and more prepared to get there than most, once I understood the mechanics here, and why folks where having such difficulty, I became focused on one mission Trying to help end that as painlessly as possible by demonstrating the most efficient techniques for consistent repeatable builds. To shorten the struggle for a reliable straightforward vape. That's what the rest of us want.
This thread can go sideways like a million others with all of us posting our personal wins. I hope it doesn't too much and stays focused on the premises of building reliable microcoil for the Protank. Confirming those wins and details. Or everything we've said or added, desert sand.
Good luck arlien. That is a nice wire.
