Provari & Protanks coils losing strength quickly? Less Vapor and Flavor=Less Satisfying

[DougFNJ]

I have my Provari for 3 weeks now and love it. I am finding though that I lose something major after a couple refills. I have a few Protank 1 and 2's, and I have been using 2.5 ohm coils. I fill them with various juices with 24mg Nicotine. When I first got these Protanks, I got full flavor and heavy vapor through a whole first tank, very satisfying. Then they go down to a 3rd full, and I fill it to full using the same bottle of juice, and around halfway through the 2nd fill I find less vapor and flavor. by the 3rd fill/day it gets very airy and it is very light flavor and little vapor. I have cleaned them up, hot water, changed the coils, and I get it to be like new for a day or 2, then the same thing happens to each tank, and each flavor of juice.

Any help would be appreciated...

sounds like we have the same set up. I am also using a provari and a protank 2. I always take out a flavor wick and at best I get about a tank of good flavor and vape and then I always feel like I have to change out the coil head. I should also note that I am using the classic tobacco and switch between the 24 and 18 level, depending on how stressful that day is Im soo surprised at when I see people post that their coil head lasted a week. Maybe Im vaping too much. I usually go through about 3-4ml a day maybe a little more on other days.

As you vape your coils get burnned juice build up on them (not fire burned more like caramelized) darker and sweeter juices are worse at doing it. This residue builds up on the coils and prevents fresh juice reaching the coils resulting in less vapor, flavor etc.

The only thing you can do is what your doing clean them or change them.
Vaping is more work than smoking. The payoff: Your not smoking.

YEP, sounds like you need to learn how to clean and dry burn your coils.

you will be sighing with happiness when you put your tank back on and take the first puff

PS,,,your coils should last you at least a week or 2,,,,,,,,I vape 20ml a day of sweet juice, and I have to dry burn mine 2-3 X a week, and they STILL last for weeks,,,,,,,,

20 ML a day? No kidding?

no kidding,,,,,,,,I vape 0mg nic though, or I'd be worried about nic poisoning myself,,,,,,,,

I am thinking I really need to cut down though,,,,,I think it's habit at this point to have that thing in my hand every second.

20ml per day is hardcore lol.
On the weekend I more or less chain vape and never go through more than 7ml. Maybe 10ml on a genny.

part of it, I know for sure, is the Iclear,,,,,,,they are juice hogs.

But even before I had the Iclear, I was downing 15ml a day.

I can go from a fully charged MVP to a yellow light in 5.5 hours.

I vape way too much.
