Good to know that Joyetech batteries last well. I've read some terrible stories about the cheap Chinese ones going wrong in all kinds of ways.
Last point and BIG Note: Turning up the voltage or power/watts does NOT give you good flavor or really that much more vapor/density.
If your tank isn't wicking enough juice you won't get more vapor, just a nasty burnt dry wick taste or burning metal coil taste (take your pic).
If your running protank II's or III's or areo tanks add/use the airflow controller, buy plenty of wicks. If you chain vaping keep the wick wet by tiping it on the side and waiting for air bubbles... I use these tanks and find when I start getting alot of flooding, gurgling, burnt metal or wick tastes and washing/soaking the atomizer/coil does not work I just CHUCK the atomizer coil and get a new one and I'm happily vaping again. (Messing with atomizers trying to fix things is just plain annoying and ruins my vaping experience).
Recently have upgraded to Kayfun clones and the difference is HUGE. Have learened to build nice coils and run them at 1.5 ohms with my APV mods set at 8 - 9 watts it's PERFECT. Good vape, better vapor production, consistent and NO dry wicks or burnt tastes.
Don't get into the more power and volts is better... burnt juice, wicks, coils, are not better. When I even get the hint of a burn taste I dial it back a bit and it goes away most the time. Different juice may burn better at lower or higher watts and some may not wick as well as others so I pay close attention to this and adjust accordingly.

In addition to the tank dump, lack of attention while refilling can result in some really dreadful accidental flavor mixes. Don't ask me how I know. (FYI I do NOT recommend the combination of Menthol and Earl Grey Tea.)
That does sound dreadful! You can also however end up with some accidental winners. I oops! mixed some watermelon bubblegum and fresh mint, ended up to be an excellent combo and now I always toss some mint in the fruity/candy flavors that I find a little too sweet.
As much as people like to bash them, I know so many people who have quit smoking using mall kits, drugstore kits, walmart kits, convenience store kits.
I think if you decide you really don't want to smoke cigarettes anymore, you can put them down if you have some kind of electronic vape, even if it's not the best.
Congrats to you for doing it!
Excellent! I wish I'd read this post when I started back in November. Great info.

Just as an update, I've just done the juice dump on my shirt again - very dark brown coffee flavour. Damn, damn, damn.
Lol. I've done that over and over myself. Don't feel bad. It always seems to happen when I'm in a hurry. It is noooo fun when it happens when your out. I was at a bbq, went to unscrew the tank to top off my juice and of course unscrewed the wrong part and had juice all over me and my battery. I had to ask the host for a Q tip to clean out my battery . Not a fun thing to happen when your out! Lol
