Struggling to get it how I want

[Captainhelmet69]

Hi everyone I have been a vaper for two years now but I'm struggling to get the right balance I want. I love it when I get a nice throat hit and a clear vape but after using just simple vv devices and a innovate vv and variable watt device all I seem to get is either a poor weak vape or the taste of burnt liquid need some advice on a kit which will get me what I want and need from top to bottom!

Thanks in advance Chris

Hi Chris and welcome. Burnt taste from a clearomizer usually indicates poor wicking--the coil dries out and you get a nasty dry hit.

Could you tell us exactly what hardware you're using? I'm guessing you have an Innokin VV V3 battery and what else?

 

[Captainhelmet69]

Hi katya thanks for replying yeah the innokin and a kangertech mini protank 3

Hi Chris and welcome to ECF! Most of the vape is determined by the topper, the device you put on top of the power supply like your innovate vv.

What are you using? Make and model would be great or a url to the device

ETA: Katya, you beat me to it again, LOL

 

[Captainhelmet69]

Hi ryedan yeah is a kangertech mini protank 3 and the coil runs at 2.2 ohms

The ProTank 3 is OK, but it has no airflow control, and since it's a dual coil atomizer, it needs more power than a single-coil atty does. It may be too much for your little (700mAh) battery, especially at 2.2Ω resistance. Try a lower resistance coil--1.8Ω would be better, IMO.

If that's the only clearomizer you have right now, you might consider getting an airflow control valve--get the V2 or V3 (bottom row)--they work fine:

Kanger Air Flow control Valve Base Replacements

Other than that, maybe those tips will help you further:

Hi katya thanks some great advice there what top set up would you recommend if I was to get a new one rather than use the kangertech?

I love Kanger clearomizers--don't get me wrong--and I use them all the time. I just prefer single coils on my VV V3 (eVod, T3S) and I use dual coil Kanger clearos (like Aerotanks) on my larger batteries like my MVP2 (she's VV V3's big sister and comes with 2600 mAh capacity). But dual coils atties can be safely used on the VV V3--they will just drain the battery faster.

Ok so I might as well stick with kanger gear need to order some as my tank is getting on a bit can I order a tank with all the air flow base or will I have to order standard and customise sorry and struggle at times with all this and I'm clueless when it gets the slightest bit technical lol

Kanger has a really good little tank in their T3D.

It's a take off of the T3S with improvements..
With the T3D the base threads screw into metal rather than the plastic threads of the tank base..So no more tank cracks or breaks at the base..
Also removable drip tip..
I've had mine for about 6 months now and they go everywhere with me..

Most of the new dual-coil kanger tanks come with AFC valves: Aerotanks, T3D, eVod glass, Emow etc.

The older, single-coil ones have no air control (PT1, 2, 3; T3S, eVod).

If you tell us exactly what you want to order, we'll help you choose the right base--if necessary. Just ask!

have you tried and aero tank with the holes almost closed ? makes a lovely deep vape with nice mellow throat it , i also find that the better quailty juice you use the deeper and more dense the vapour is this makes them much less arsh on the throat

 

[Captainhelmet69]

Hmm thanks everyone the t3d sounds like it might be a good fit for me now all I need is a new power unit mine is on it's last limbs any recommendations looking to spend no more than £50

 

[Captainhelmet69]

Hi buffy I haven't Iv only really used the kanger I have or the standard basic beginner stuff

T3D is nice, so is mini Aerotank--I believe they are very similar, actually. Can't go wrong with either. And you can use them on your VV V3--you'll just have to recharge it more often.

Also, make sure you have a good juice--some can be very harsh, and the dark and sweet ones will gunk up your coils very fast. But coils can be cleaned and dry burned--tons of good tutorials on YouTube!

Happy vaping!

i ordered a vamo v6ss from myepack uk on friday u can get a kit 49.99 and pick a free tank comes with a highly rated nitcore charger and batteries , aloe i picked an aero tank giant from the drop down menu so payed bit extra , i see your in the uk so id take a look on myepack.co.uk

 

[buffy76]

VV V3 is not your standard beginner's stuff! It's a pretty fancy battery.

YOu can't go wrong with a Kanger clearomizer--just stay away from ProTanks 1, 2 and 3 (or add AFC valves to them).

If you're looking for a more powerful battery, consider the MVP2--or wait for MVP3, about to be released.
