I love vaping. I enjoy it and it's very relaxing..
A couple months ago I stopped vaping because of a problem I had with my protank 2.. It leaked (not sure the proper term used) into my mouth non stop. I would clean it wash it. Fill it up with juice. Take one hit and all the juice would end up in my mouth. It got really annoying so I decided to rebuild the coil as I was recommended on this forum. I bought 2.5mm silica wick and a 32g kanthol wire. I watched grimmgreens video a ton of times and built over 15 coils. Unfortunately nothing helped.
A couple days ago I wanted to give vaping another try so I watched his video again and tried building another coil so it wouldn't leak into my mouth... I still had no luck. I pretty much have up on the protank 2. If anyone has had this problem and was able to fix it or knows of a video that fixes it. Please link me ( I've watched around 8 videos on this).
As I've pretty much given up on the protank 2. I'm looking for a higher end tank. One that I won't have to fiddle with at all and one that will produce great clouds and flavor. I don't really understand much about ohms but I heard for me the ideal ohm resistance is around 1.6-1.8.
I have a vamo v3 that I love. But unfortunately it's very beat up with juice due to all the leaking. One mod that I had my eye on was the SVD.
Other information
I vape a vamo v3
90% of the juices I have are 80vg 20pg
I'm looking for a higher end tank
A solution for my protank 2 problem if there is one
And maybe even a mod- one no bigger than the vamo v3 with an 18350 battery.
Please and thank you in advanced for any information or help this community gives me.
Don't give up i wouldn't go back to BT and there NDVs i haven't been vaping long and don't want to disrespect any vapers 1 less smoker is all good to me. I started out with a friend who had been vaping a while by doing some research on what to get I didn't much like CE4s which are ubiquitous it seems and wanted to vape without spending the fortunes some vapers do. 1st buy was a terrible Ego VV broke in less than a week Then I got an SVD which came with 2 iClear 30(s) and as my friend had done some leg work got a couple of Kanger II V2 Minis with the Ego looked ridiculous on the SVD so exchanged 1 for a ProTank II and got another 1 so I could rotate flavours I too only vape high VG juice. No matter what i did i had problems read the forums over and over and over again tried fixes, rebuilt coils, changed wicking material over and over again. Same problems inconsistent vape, flavour issues, coil death in 2 days with dark juices, poor stock attys performance and tried a few maybe 12-15, airflow and damn pyrex like an eggshell (I spend most my time on a boat) not to mention they leaked if left, flooded and got so tired of a mouthful of juice blowing like the north wind so i could have a vape.
I had enough and went on a mission my friend who had also tried and tried given we both come from an engineering background and are used to problem solving threw in the towel.
On a whim and after vaping for only 3 weeks knowing i would quit if i didnt move forward I bought a GG Ithaka clone from Fasttech for a newbie like me this may of not been a wise choice but after building coils with the Kangers I was ready for the long vaping road ahead. After some newbie errors and help from the vaping community I got it working and my first few vapes were heaven sent dodgy single coil, cheap silica what a vape I confess I almost threw the ProTanks out the window it was a revelation.
I had only the single clone for weeks, once I followed some methodology I rebuilt it many many times, its been a rock of a tank works at low temps, cant really fault the build quality for less than the price of a couple of ProTanks, never leaks, never has dry hits, never floods and vapes like candy floss and is cheap in real costs.
Now I am not here from someone who has only been vaping for a few weeks to put down anyone that has what works for them if they have perfected there ProTanks and they work for them and that means 1 less smoker it's all good in my book. I am merely recounting my own and at times frustrating experience we all want to vape most kicked the evil habit and took up vaping some seek a vaping nirvana. For me and my usual environment it is paramount i get a working setup, I just want a delivery system that works with the least amount of resistance at the most reasonable cost vapingnitis has hit me hard and now i want to build everything but such is the life of a vaper I am not the only one.
I sold, gave the PTs and iClears away there wasn't much point as my friend said after vaping the Ithaka clone 'I have seen the light' don't get me wrong it's not perfect by any means but we all want to vape.
I rebuild it on a boat to give you an idea, it takes 15 mins to strip it down to clean it, cut the wool, wind the coil, trim, reassemble and fill it each time it brings a smile to my face, each time i know the taste of the juice I vape it just works and has airflow control, juice control, self adjusting 510 brass centre pin and feels like its not going to break anytime soon.
My friend as other posters have said went with cartomisers as he works long shifts and like me needs it to work with the least amount of hassle, we just dont have the time to fix problems all the time it is just not practical or good for our sanity. In the past few days its working out for him and he reports low juice usage and good flavour so it's all a learning curve choose what works for you and Vape on! Hope you get there and it works for you.
I have also convinced my fairer other half to take up vaping now she just wouldnt be best pleased with issues on a frequent basis bless her I needed a solution cant see her wanting to eternally fix flooding, gurgling and poor vaping when trying to give up smoking.
