What am I doing wrong? So frustrated.

[cnmsales]

So yesterday I went and purchased a new tank. Its a kanger tank, not the pro, they were out. It holds 2.8ml of juice. Threw some juice in it, and immediately the flavor was superb. After a few hours I lost most of the flavor and was only getting vape. I know im still getting nicotine because im not going crazy, but just dont have any flavor. It was penacolada. So last night, i emptied it out and threw in some cofee juice I had. As of today im having the same problem. Not getting any flavor, just vape.

Im so frustrated right now I just want to give up, but def dont want to go back to analogs. I dont think I could stomach them anymore. But without the flavor the vape is just MEH.

So what am I dong wrong? Im willing to take the wick out and clean it, but as its my only tank, can I put it back in and use it or will that hurt the wick?


Someone please help. Im at my wits end.....

Clearomizers can be known to mute flavors. I'm not really sure why, but I've experienced it & have read a lot of others experiencing it too.

Have you ever tried Cartomizers? They seem to have better consistency (generally) & can be used in the tank for expanded capacity.

Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

I didn't have the flavor muted but one time I vaped and it was flavorful then it became really bad and didn't go back. It went from Mt. Dew Code Red to like a cough medicine. I found out I had to shake it evenly and let the flavor steep out the weird alcohol like mediciny taste.

I could understand the mute flavors, but there is none here. And its the same flavor no matter what juice I have in the tank? If I clean it out and start again, do I need to let it dry for 2 hours? Can I start vaping immediately without hurting the wicks?

Tium, yeah I thought that might be the issue but the coffee I have in now has steeped for 5+ days now with an initial warm water bath.

Personally, if I vape a certain flavor too long eventually I lose the flavor. Try getting another tank with another flavor and switch them around every so often. If using a VV try changing the voltage up or down to see how that changes the flavor.

And drink plenty of water.

If it's a very high VG% juice there might be some wicking issues. The top coil long wicks are known to struggle on thick juices.

 

[hottierockstar]

could also be "vaper's tongue" ...especially if you are vaping your face off (like i do 9 days in)

Kanger tank? Which one? Top (T2) or bottom coil (T3, EVOD, Pro)?

For top-coil, try the dip and twirl method between vapes to help facilitate wicking. If it's a bottom-coil, then try removing a flavor wick (A PBusardo Review - The Kanger ProTank - YouTube starts at ~9:00).

Cedric, its a top wick so im assuming it would be a T2? What is the dip and twirl method?

I have run into the same proplem.... switch flavors often and drink plenty of water

The original flavor that went in it, Pina Colada, was a new flavor for me, only used half a tank of it before I decided to switch to coffee, which ive only used a total of 3 1.6 tanks.

Dry hits are common among top-coil clearos (i.e. CEs and Vivi Novas) due (1) gravity and (2) long wick acting as a filter as the eliquid as it travels to the coil. By dip and twirl, it's basically inverting the device between vapes to help reduce them time needed for the eliquid to travel to the coil.

Thanks for the info. I have already been doing this, just not on purpose?

You can check if you have "vaper's tongue" by dripping a few drops (2-3) directly onto the coil and vape. If you still can't taste the flavor for the first 3-4 puffs, then it's probably vaper's tongue.

How do I do this?

 

[cnmsales]

I will say, if I apply a very small portion of the juice on my lips I can taste the flavor.

How do I do this?

Unscrew the mouth piece, take off the silicon cover, and remove the metal cap to expose the wick/coil.

Another simple way to is invert it and take a few quick draws (without powering your device) until you hear a slight gurgle, then just vape as normal. Be careful, you might end up with some eliquid in your mouth.

Hey man, im really sorry but I was mistaken. I thought the guy at the shop yesterday told me it was a kanger, but upon closer inspection it says vivi nova.

In that case, just pull off the mouth piece and you should be able to see the wick/coil, then just drip 2-3 drops onto it and vape.

 

[cedric212]

BTW, the VVN you've purchased does it have short or long wick? Also, what PG/VG ratio of eliquid are you vaping?
