I just purchased the ismoka. I've been vaping on a vivinova for about a year now but wanted to try something new. The Vivi has been great thus far but lately the replacement heads just fall short hence why I am trying the ismoka.

Question: are there any rebuild vids for those coils? I can't seem to find any.

If u are looking for vivnova vids on rebuild, below is the link for the review and rebuild. One of the most closeup look on how to do the rebuild so far.

Happy Vaping

Trying removing 1 of the flavour wicks.

Try 1 : Wet wicks, due to clumsy hands, removed the flavour wicks and the coiled wick as well. Damaged

Try 2 : Wet wicks, the flavourwicks were stuck together, so cleverly removed both the flavoured wicks. First 5 puffs were great and then it leaked like a waterfall. Damaged

Try 3 : Dry wicks, removed only one of the flavour wick, vape was great for a while (maybe abt 20 vapes) until the tank got hot as usual from my vaping style, then the leaking came. Damaged

After 3 damaged coils. I conclude that certain things are engineered the way they supposed to be. Dont mess with it. Haha

time to look into AGI or AGT.

Hmm, based on how u vape. If not wrong, one continous vape rite? Might consider a dripper instead.

Try 1) No comments

Try 2) Altering the "flavor wicks" depends on the consistency of the juice; the PG/VG ratio. Contrary to the name, it does not actually function to add more flavor. What is does is to actually block juices from flooding into your heating compartment. Therefore, first thing you do is to ADD more wicks to block the juices from flowing into your heating compartment if high PG, or lesser wick for high VG.
What we want is the juice to be brought into the atomizer via the wick, NOT via tiny spaces in between the wicks or rubber cap.

Try 3) Heat causes expansion, therefore it builds pressure in the heating compartment, thus "pushing" any remnant juice out.


In summary, from what you describe, you are vaping too hard and too fast. No clearomizer can match it due to it's limitation. There's only so fast the juice can be wicked and so high a temperature you can go. Find a balance.. Slow down and find the sweet spot for any given clearomizer. It's all science..

Last of all, a dripper serves the best flavor but problem is getting constant juice (wicking or having to drip often), therefore the best solution is a dripper WITH a tank. Think about it.. There IS such a product that gives the best of both worlds; i.e. KayFun, or cartomizer.

Like i've said, it's all science that we are all looking it.

Cheers and vape on!

Fast and furious, yeah a dripper with tanks. That way, you can control the amount of juice onto the dripper producing the ideal vapor and flavor want.

Eh? Not sure if you get what i mean there..

Dripper with tanks how you control amount of juice? Haha! You can only control the amount of airflow.

Unless you mean using thicker wick to wick more juice to the atomizer la.. Then that's correct. ;)

Dipper has been fun and also allow alternate between juices

Dripper with ceramic bottom is best so far for me. Very good throat it and taste real flavour of the juices

Go for a pro tank 2 and immediately take it apart and throw out the crappy coil and wick.... Replace it with cotton wool and a microcoil you can make yourself.... There are tutorials online and its good fun getting the hang of it..... Flavor and vapor will blow you away

And then you realize that there is actually a faint hint of burnt rubber, or perhaps "takes time" for it to "disappear", which it doesn't actually..

You have been vaping rubber bro.. Congratulation!
There's a reason why the stock coil uses resistance wire and non-resistance wire for it's legs.. ;)

If you like the Protank and really wish to rebuild, kindly refer to the Fogger and the Fogger V2.. It is basically a copy of the Protank design, but rebuildable due to the upsized atomizer chamber.. ;)

i need help, i want to buy a new tank, what are your views of the X8 tank. to me it looks good but i am not sure how it vapes. anyone had a X8 tank , if you do, mind sharing your experience?

thank you:)

X8 is a carto tank but for me my carto kept flooding after 2nd refilling. I not sure if I done it wrongly.

Recently, I tried Protank 2 it was good nice vapour and taste

Got my Fogger V2 RBA today, recoiled to wick instead of mesh at 1.8ohms.
Love the adjustable airflow so now I can decide how much draw resistance I want when I vape.
Flavour and vapour production is good.
Will vape more before coming back with more review

I was thinking Fogger but I was concern of leaking and don't get flavour.

Might try one day.

Let us know how is it Tks!

You even have a cobra. why u need a fogger?

Had a leak issue on the first day but rectified it. just as issue of me not tightening everything back very tightly. Seems that's an issue wif fogger but no leaking since re-tightening everything.

Been vaping it for 2 days with the "fatboy" tip and a new flavour "Jade Tiger". Taste and vapour production is good to me thus far. Used it on both the K100 and SVD and it works fine for both.
