Top coil vs. bottom coil clearos..

[mattovdawn]

Well I've been vaping for several months now... At home, I vape on my Vamo, and on the road, I carry a couple of trusty ole eGo batteries.. I started out with the CE4 tanks, as that was the only tanks my B&M store carried at the time, but eventually ended up upgrading to vivi nova tanks. Since then , I have tried a plethora of different tanks. T3S, Protanks, Evods etc. My favorite things about the BC tanks, is the fact that I don't have to refill halfway through the taste to prevent burning the wick. Though I really would really like to use a BC tank as my all day vape, to me I get much better flavor from the TC tanks. I dunno if its the fact that the coil is closer to the mouth, or what, but I just get better flavor. Has this been anyone else's experience? Or anyone have any suggestions to get better flavor from a BC tank?

I'm surpised you didn't mention BC tanks leaking!
I never did get any satisfactory vape with my first top coil CE4.


Or maybe what you are calling better flavor on the top coil tank is really more a matter of your bottom coil tanks being somewhat flooded.

I keep my bottom coil tanks upside down.
To check if your coil is flooded, hold mouthpiece to you ear and fire button and listen for the popping sound of liquid blistering off a hot metal surface of the coil.

I've always had better flavor from a top coil carto, been using the vivi-nova for over a year now. I do rebuild the coils heads myself, and have wicked them with ecowool or cotton. I've found that keeping the wicks short, at about 3/8 inches on each side, and unraveling the ecowool, fluffing it up a little gives me the best performance.

Tipping up my PV to take a vape is enough to wet the wick and coil preventing any dry hits.

Yeah, even when my BC tanks aren't flooded, I still seem to get better flavor from a TC tank. Doesnt matter wether its on an eGo style batt, or a VV/VW batt. The Protanks are ok, when they arent flooded, but performance wise, the T3 has been the least problematic when it comes to flooding for me. But my favorite juices just don't taste the same. I'll try storing my BC tanks upside down. Thanks for the tip.

I'm a big fan of the EVOD BCCs. Been vaping on them for 7 or 8 months I guess and I've never had any leaking/flooding issues yet. I have a few different TC models but it seems like they just don't last as long and I hate having to fiddle with coils and stuff all the time.

I just got some Smoktech EBC clearos (bottom coil) and filled one up with some Oober Goober. I gotta admit, they are hitting pretty good... pretty cheap too. We'll see how they hold up in the long run but at the price I paid (around $3?), even if I have to toss it after a while, it's still worth it.
