I'm sort of new to the game (but not really), and have been having such a bad time with this stuff. Granted, I like it a lot, and sometimes I get a good lucky day, but hardly ever.
It all started with the T3. It was good only because I did not know any better. After constant gurgling, leaking, and weird and muted tastes, I upgraded to the T3S, hoping that would be a better case. Again, I was getting issues. At first it was just ok, but those also had a weird and/or muted taste to them. No leaking tho. I'm actually smoking on one now.
By this time I'm starting to get annoyed. So, I again, upgrade to a protank 1. (Kanger products... No idea why) The PT1 seemed to work great for me for a while. Then I started getting a metallic/muted taste. Changed the head after a while and no help. I in turn rebuilt one of my protank heads with some A1 32G Kanthal and Peaches and Cream 3mm wick (after boiling of course), and now it seems worse. Like a burning taste and the throat hit is a bit more harsh than before.
That brought me to the iClear 30. This thing actually worked pretty well for a good while. I have yet to buy a new head for it. My only gripe is the tight air draw (which I'm not seeking support for) and the somewhat muted taste. That and almost 90% of my liquids I think taste like crap in all said set ups... SOOOOO
I jump on board into RBA's. This is where my entire vaping world comes crashing because I've been comparing it to my clearos. I tinker with the stock Smoktech RDA Octopus for a while and it's hitting great. Great flavor and all. Until I overtinker with it and break the coil. Lol. I've been rebuilding that thing and as of now have only build 3 coils. Same wire and wicking material as stated above. I'm getting some pretty decent flavor for being so picky about my taste, but hardly any vapor production. I've been comparing RBA taste to my clearos.. which I probably shouldn't, but now even my RBA taste burned and has one heck of a undesireable throat hit (while maintaining a decent taste) weird, I think. I also need to drill out an airhole on this, as the stock is just too tight.
I'm just at a loss for words here and any help would be appreciated. I'm beginning to wonder if a lot of my products are fake because so many other people seem to have a lot of success with these devices. I got my T3 from some overpriced shop here in town, the rest of the tanks/RBA from Mt baker vapor, and my A1 wire from RTD, Wick from Micheals after a half hour of boiling.
Sorry for the rant, just getting frustrated wit this stuff.
