Vaping over 6 watt everything tastes burnt.....

[Red Head]

Hi, I have a vv v3.0. It does 6-11 watts. I currently have only 2 e-juices, Halo tribeca, and a house blend from a local vape shop called everlast vapor.It is a tobacco flavor. I have a kanger mini pro tank 2 v2. Ce5 top fed clearomizer that came with my other battery an ego c twist. I also have the iclear 16d dual coil. All 3 three tanks with either e-juice give's me a burnt taste at 6.5 watts and higher. What is the point of higher watts when it just burns the liquid. I see videos of people vaping at 15 watts.....

From what I understand, when you use watts. Your mod should set the correct volts based on the resistance of the coil.....

I am trying to understand why my device over 6 watts the lowest setting makes that burnt taste. It is frustrating. I am very new to vaping and know it is a journey.

All my coils read 2.1-2.2 ohms

Maybe i need to try some more juices.

How old are your coils and whens the last time you changed them? The house juice... was it mixed fresh? If so, did you steep it for a little bit?

My Mini Pro tank coil is a week old. The iclear16 I got on friday and the ce5 top fed clearomizer is about 2 1/2 weeks old. I do not no if the house juice was mixed fresh. I also do not know the pg/vg ratio....

I am not familiar with steeping, so idk

I had the same problem with tribeca. at six watts little vapor and taste and seven tasted burnt. I can run pink spot swagger up to 7.5 or so and velvet cloud vanilla custard up to almost ten watts all using an evod glass.

So the juice has a lot to do with it. Maybe my Mini Pro Tank 2 is not the issue......or my other tanks.

the people vaping at 15watts, are more than likely running much lower ohms than you are and have perfected their wicking

Have you cleaned your coils since you installed them?
I clean, dry burn and rewick mine every couple days...sometimes every day.
But just giving them a good rinse in hot water after each tank can help tremendously.

It's possible those liquids just don't like higher watts (they're not ones I've used)

But maybe a nice clean coil would help too.

Some liquids build up a layer a gunk on the coil more quickly than others, and if it's not cleaned off that gunk can burn as you get to higher temps, and/or clog up your wicking material so fresh liquid can't get in there.

I had the same problem with the mini protanks. It's the coils, the silica can't wick fast enough. Take the silica out and rewick with cotton. I now rebuild my coils with 30g kanthal and organic cotton. The flavor is good and you can set it to whatever watts you want. I love my mini pt's since I figured out rebuilding. Definitely worth the time figuring out and doing.
Steeping is putting the juice in a dark cool spot (cabinet,drawer,etc.) and letting it sit with giving it a good shake once or twice a day. Helps with fresh made juices giving the flavors time to mix well.

In my experience, Tribeca can take some heat. I used to vape it a lot at 8-9 watts on a top coil clearo with no issues.

I would highly recommend stripping down all your equipment (obviously not the battery!) and giving it all a really good clean in hot running water. While you are cleaning, examine all the grommets and O rings for scorching. Also check your coil for black gunky build-up. Firing them at a lower power will often cause a fast gunk build up due to partially vaporized e-liquid.

When you are done cleaning, shake off the excess water and screw the heads into your battery with no clearomizer around them and give them a quick dry-fire. You're looking that the coils glow brightly and evenly across the wicks. If you have one part that glows brighter than the other parts, it's that that could be causing the burnt taste.

Dry firing like this will not hurt your coils - just don't fire it for more than a few seconds at a time.

Finally, if you have another battery to try with any of the clearos, that will allow you to make sure that it's not your battery that is throwing out more power than it says it is. I doubt this is the reason, but it has been known - this is especially true if you are getting the issue across multiple toppers.

I hope your doing this on premade dual coils at minimum, such as aspire bdcs which the 2.1ohm versions are rated for 6v, or self made single or duals capable of doing that? I'm pumping 4.5v into my aspire duals at 1.8ohm, which gives me huge clouds. My e-lvt mod coming I'll probably try 5v. Premade single coils won't take much more than 3.8v. Just a note.

My Mini Pro tank coil is a week old. The iclear16 I got on friday and the ce5 top fed clearomizer is about 2 1/2 weeks old.

After a week of use I suspect the Protank coil needs to be dry burned. The CE5 for sure needs it after 2 1/2 weeks. Google 'dry burn <your clearo>' and check out the videos on how to do it. It's best to do this before the coil gets too dirty or it can be hard to get them cleaned up.

Most clearos will not be able to handle 11 watts without giving you burnt hits. Most cartos will be able to handle it. 11 watts is not enough for some rebuildable setups. In all cases, coils gunk up from what's left behind when juice is vaporized and the more gunk you've got the less power you'll be able to use.

I believe most clearos can be user modified to allow 11 watts to work on them.

 

[johnspack]

Yes, try to hit your coils until shut down once in a while... helps to burn off gunk. I actually boil and dry burn my coils several times before throwing them out, but you can do a burn while they are still in. Of course I have Kangor duals coming next week with an Aerotank, have no idea how that will work....

 

[GPC2012]

Sounds like you need to clean and or replace the coils.

 

[Nightshard]

The people that vape at 15W don't do it with a pt2 or a ce5

You get VV/VW so that you could set it based on you liking, no so that you could set it to what other people do with different setup then yours.

Besides the obvious cleaning and replacing coil, start low and go higher and higher either with W or V until you find your hotspot.
If you still don't like it at the point, get a better atty.

I've had bad luck with CE5 tanks...they burn nearly everything I've had unless it's on a 3.7v stick. For the VV3 or the MVP V2, use Protank, iClear or Aspire tanks and coils. I seem to have had the best luck with those. I've got a PT3 that hasn't had the coil replaced in over a month, nor have I had to clean it. I just top off the tank and go. The Aspire BDC, when you have a good coil, will last about a week or so, not much longer. The iClear16 that I have my self mixed menthol/tobacco in has been going strong for over a month as well.

CE4/CE5 usually come in start-up kits, and should be discarded as soon as possible, in my opinion.

At some point everyone needs to get over the pissing match of who can run the highest wattage. The idea is to get the vape you want from the juice you have.
Switch your VV V3 to volts and adjust it down to where you get the taste you want. It will adjust lower in the voltage setting than it will when set to wattage with the heads that you are using. (2.2 ohms @ 6 watts = 3.63v)

Remember too, you don't have my taste buds, so there isn't a way in the world that you can make yours taste the way I want, and that is a two way street.

Vaping at high wattage is for higher quality rebuildables. Take my KayFun for example. On a mech mod with lower resistance and a fresh battery the math says I am vaping around 30 to 35 watts… But on my wives PT2 with cotton wick, and a custom coil she vapes no higher than 8 to 9 watts.

Running 15 watts through any PT IMO is seriously pushing it and risking burning the insulator which will do nothing but cause unhappiness. Honestly all of my PT2 builds are only ever used as high as 10 to 11 watts and thats just to clear a flood.

Theres my pennies..

WOW why in the world would you want to sub ohm with a KayFun? You can find better sub ohm performers at a fraction of the price. Used as intended the KayFun is a great choice, and that's about 10-11 watts. It doesn't have the air flow to work at 30 watts.

 

[Gargoyle]

It's all in fun really. Just experimenting with it is all. Not a goal or cloud chasing. Started with a bit if vapers tongue and was looking to correct it.

You are right-on!!

Kayfun works fine at 19.5 watts....

HOWEVER....

You've got to build coils specifically for that wattage range for it to work right. You can't just make a basic microcoil and power it like that and expect good results. But in my case, I'm running that 19.5 watts through a single 1.4ohm coil and it works fantastic, but it's all coil build. The same coil wouldn't even produce vapor at 12 watts and just barely worked at 15 watts.
