Depends on which one you use

Until recently only the Evolv kick was variable wattage, all the clones were vv.
Hey dudes, just checking in. Im at about 50ml on this 2ohm, now 2.1 ohm coil. The wick was clean and nothing was burned, it was very gunky around the coil. I decided to dryburn and now it tastes funky. It performs great, justs tastes nasty. I probably burned the rubber or something. PT2 ceramic experiment is OVER. 50ml on one coil is not worth the money or trouble. I'll be trying ceramic in my hated kayfun next.
OT
How can you like a ProTank over a Kayfun? Shallow juice channels in the Kayfun or some other issue?
This was my last build before I got a new base with deeper channels, vaped like a champ...so much more flavor than a ProTank.
Dandy look'n coil 54.
Always thought the protank 2s I use never tasted quite right. Just got in a pack of silicone insulators from LightningVapes and wow what a difference. I even dry burned the coil and still have a great clean taste.
I agree with t.d. I bought an original Kayfun Lite Plus, thinking it would be vaping heaven. Well, turns out it wasn't the best of friends with my undisputed favorite juice, Grant's Vanilla Custard.
Anything above 3.5 volts on a 2 ohm coil and it would taste either like burning or metal - and no, it wasn't a short, it was just how it was.
And at 3.5 volts, I wasn't getting enough flavor, compared to my PT2's.
A handful of coils and several ml's of precious juice wasted (fearing it would be contaminated with the crappy flavors I got), and the sum'b**ch went up for sale.
Back to my beloved PT2's, ah, vaping heaven again
Having a lot of fun with a cheap, slutty IGO-L "Style" RDA from SlowTech these days though. GVC tastes great with a parallel 1.2 ohm coil at 4.2 volts (ProVaris amp limit kicks in if I go higher).
And here's a pic of my big ol' 12x2 wrap Kanthal A-1 30 AWG coil:

This article may shed some light...
Formaldehyde release in ecigarette vapor The New York Times story explained in detail
Thank you Ecigarette Research Advocates Group.
I only vape 100% VG.
Good luck.
Hi Mac,
That study comes from the oldest and most respected cancer research institute in the USA, here in Buffalo. After reading it, I am sticking with my protanks and limiting the power to 7 watts.
I respect and understand your stance.
I will take any slight inconvenience for the massive improvement in flavor, I primarily use an RDA at home and a Russian while out and about. Wick changes happen less frequently than on a ProTank for myself.
I loved my ProTanks but after moving forward it's simply not possible to move backwards, the flavor is all wrong.
Did you read the published study itself, or the NYT report on it ? I thought the complete study hasn't been published in a medical journal yet.
Haven't made up my mind as of yet, waiting to read the study in its entirety. Keep in mind also, that formaldehyde is just one out of dozens of carcinogens in cigarette sm0ke. All of them put together are likely not as harmful as tar. Just to put things in perspective.
Long term exposure to all kinds of chemicals can cause cancer, even clean living causes cancer in a lot of cases.
Interesting article but the science is lacking in what's available to read.

Thanks brook. We're starting finally to build a small community of our own here. Full of awesome vaping technologists!
Good luck all.
I hope they are right for you and your building style. The silicone doesn't hold precision tension and the leads slip skewing the coil with torque as you screw on your topper. Pop out hangers faster than a teen does pimples. However, LV's hard silicone grommets are exceptional. Actually denser than Kanger's original PT1 grommets of which I still have a few. They hold termination and accordingly resistance like none before .after several dozen tests. Verified.
The only difference pj is that the soft silicone does not taste as badly as imperfections in the coil scorches it. It still does, you just won't taste it. One time use throwaways. They effectively discourage rebuilding. But then of course they know that over there. As well as the 510 clearomizer's propensity for shorting. Hence NR wire.
Hey at least they gave us the Aero base.
Take care pj and good luck.
I read the earlier Buffalo News article and it differed somewhat, NYT tends to spin the articles to the liberal side. If I know Roswell Park Cancer Institute, there will be reams of data.
There's definitely something to be said for caution. However, I believe their methodologies were wrong and comparisons apples-and-oranges. We exhale formaldehyde naturally. I don't believe the average vaper is exposed to levels of any of these minute traces that are meaningful in any study I've read. Comparisons to smoking are even more ludicrous. Let's talk real world. I think we expose ourselves to far more toxic hazard leaving the vaping comfort of our living rooms to travel the public thoroughfares. At least I can enjoy my vape while I'm out there. I'm not goin' Amish anytime soon.
Good luck.
No I haven't. Despite my technical curiosity I've no desire to reward their efforts to hide their winds from the public with my cold hard cash.
Although I must admit NR wire is responsible given the circumstances.
Good luck.

This is my sentiment exactly, more eloquently conveyed.
