I was getting a little dry hits this morning, so I took the 1mm flavor wick I put in with the cotton. I'm hoping this will fix the dry hits.
wasn't the wick for some reason my coil went from 2.5 ohms to 3.3 ohms. fixed and back to the awesomeness.

Try the worsted cotton yarn doubled over. I have not had any problems at all. No dry hit and ZERO flooding. I'm a happy camper.
For me, flavor is "deeper" with cotton. All I taste is the juice.
I just made one tonight, I filled it with the same juice that I have in my aga to compare flavor. I'll let you know how it goes.
Maybe I did not boil the yarn enough, but I put the cotton back in. I'll give it another shot latter.
Hmmmm. I didn't boil my yarn. It's white worsted grade. Shoot, sorry it didn't work. Problem was flavor?
Give QTip cotton a try if you are still interested. I haven't worked with yarn, but QTips are so easy to work with and provide such great flavor, I guess I don't see the need. The vape is worth the persistence though, so stick with it!
Yes the flavor was off. But the makeup pad cotton works good for me so I will just stick with that for now.
Just put this together tonight, it's for the evod, but Protank and evod heads are basically the same thing:

So I got bored a couple days ago and started experimenting with my coil builds. I made a coil with 2 strands of 32ga kanthal twisted together. I did 7 wraps, it came untwisted while I wrapped the coil. So basically what I ended up with was a dual coil head that came out at 1.5ohms. I am running it at 3.6v and this thing is a vapor producing monster with those 14 wraps. It is almost to much for me to handle, I got a little bit of a sore throat today.
It's an eVod, I'm still not sure how it all fit into the head.
I snapped a couple dozen pis of it. I am not sure if my camera sucks or if I just don't know how to use it. None of them came out good enough to make anything out.
Just for the record...
I'm going on three weeks using my own coil and the white worsted yarn I mentioned earlier in the thread. That's three weeks with different juices doing nothing but rinsing between fills. No leaks, no dry hits, no burned taste. A touch of a gurgle now and then, but quickly eliminated by turning up the voltage.
To be clear... I have NOT changed the coil or wick.

I just did my first protank head rebuild. I wrapped 30 gauge around 1/16 Allen wrench for 6 turns I believe. I initially worked 3mm silica through but it was too loose and leaked. I just rewicked that coil with cotton and laid a small cotton flavor wick on top. Let it soak for 15 minutes. It measured 2.o ohms but moved down to 1.9 a few times. Started vaping at 3.2 volts with c twist. Am now up to 4.5 volts which when using power (w) = v^(2) /r is a little over 10 watts with no sign of burnt taste. The flavor was a bit muted under volts but shines through at 4.5v. Plus I just ate dinner with some jalapeno cheese noodles so the taste buds may be recovering lol. Anyway....so far so good! The pics are with the 3mm wick, I didn't take any of the cotton wick.
Edit: I forgot to mention its producing copious amounts of vapor!
