The Dry hits usually come as the coil clogs up from use. I’m not saying they dry hit from start to finish. One thing I noticed that perhaps you did not, @MK11 never told use how long the coil was used in this unit. For all we know it could have been used for a month or even more.
You’ll find that I am a firm believer in using the latest technology because I truly believe that it works better, and is much safer. At least 99% of the time that is. You say you like your Protank 2 but who’s to say you wouldn’t like a Aerotank V2 or Emow or something to that effect better. Hard to say without trying it…
This surprises me. Bad batches of coils are a reality that any Vape Shop should be well aware of…
Aspire a nice unit, glad you’re happy now…
Never heard the term dry burn for tank coils, perhaps you mean PRIME the coil to prepare them for use. What I do for Apire coils in my shop to prime them is this…
Turn Off Battery (5 quick clicks)
5 drop of juice into the hole of the coil. Juice will be thick so blow into the hole
Fill tank with juice and put back together
Maybe Overkill but 10 firm puffs without power on
Turn on battery (5 quick click) and try it. If there is any burnt taste then repeat 10 firm puffs without power
As I said, possibly overkill but better than damaging your coil before you even get to use it. Though Aspire coils will last usually longer than a month I recommend changing them once a month to keep it clean and healthy. With a coil change you should clean the rest of the unit while it is apart. I do not recommend trying to clean coils. They often do not work like they used to afterwards. Good Luck…
Yup. To each his own. I don’t use the protank anymore because I got my box and magma and PV and Subtank Mini now. I’d recommend any of these to just about anyone as well because I love them. Like I said on the flavor thread though, they’re all I know, so I can’t comment on the other tanks and drippers. When I was using an Ego I had several different types of starter level tanks, and the protank was my favorite. But that’s just me. I know Ken used (or still uses sometimes) an aerotank. My sister uses a kanger T3D dual coil tank that she loves even more than the nautilus or the iclear30s she was using before. Sounds like the OP fixed the problem with a new tank. For those that can or want to, that’s a great option, too. No need to fiddle or force something to work that isn’t working for you if you don’t have to. I love about vaping that there really is something for anyone who wants it if they’re willing and able to look.
Yes, all coils replacements require that the coil be primed. Don’t know your unit but above I quoted Aspire coils. Kanger coils are as follows EXCEPT SUBOHM…
Turn Off Battery (5 quick clicks)
3 drop of juice into the hole of the coil. Juice will be thick so blow into the hole
Fill tank with juice and put back together
6 firm puffs without power on
Turn on battery (5 quick click) and try it. If there is any burnt taste then repeat 6 firm puffs without power
Subtank coils you use the same method you use for the Aspire coils, Good Luck…
Hmmm, wonder why! Don’t know the Aerotank Ken uses but the V2 is indeed the latest BDC Dual Coil or if you like the latest technology. Your sister’s T3D is also the updated coil. I’m still a tank user and if the Aerotank V2 was less tall and wider in width I think I would be using one. Oh well, seems they are never perfect for my purposes. I’ll keep looking for a Kanger tank using the updated coil, shorter height, wider body with air flow control and 510 thread. I’ll find it eventually. If only they would put air flow control in the Kanger EVOD Mega that I use now…
I’m with you on that search ! Aerotank v2 is phenomenal but the tank only holds approx. 1ml and the larger tank approx 2 which I have both and still I love them but I wish I had one right in the middle (size wise ).
MK11 you will love the aspire line I know I do ! The only thing is to let your juice sit in the coil to get saturated prior to hitting it otherwise it’ll burn it and you’ll never get that taste out of the coil or your juice in that tank. Other than that they are virtually hassle free ! The one thing is is if you use high VG you’ll want to drop 1-2 drops of Distilled water to your large batch not tank to lightly thin it ( if your coil starts to junk up Bc of the thickness ) glad you found a nice set up !
Thank you so much for this, I checked the coil and the cotton, both looked clean and not burned. But I had this burned taste. I tried this, soaked like hell about 10 times at battery off and tried again with battery on. See, much better😊 I repeated this 3 times and it’s ok now👍🏻 thank you!
Is my juice too thick with 50/50?
No, 50/50 is not too thick for any application. Most use 60/40 or 70/30 for non subohm tanks. People use 50/50 when they like more of a throat hit. From what I hear 50/50 is commonly used in the EU which I believe I heard you say you were from. Dutch was it?..
Withdrew the post, shouldn’t speak for other people but I saw you mentioned before about not being able to get nicotine and in the Netherlands it is available.
VG is thicker than PG so a higher VG would be thicker, yeah. I wouldn’t think you’d need to thin that ratio. I used a 70/30 mix in my protank and it was fine. I do a 60/40 for my drippers and Subtank mini and it works for me. VG gives more vapor and PG gives throat hit/flavor.
More flavor is great, but for me the throat hit is too much,feels like a bit sharp… So thanks for the advice, I try to mix with 60/40 next time and see how it tastes👍🏻
That is correct, VG/PG. You should not need to thin your juice as long as you stay at 70/30 or thinner. I can not speak for all equipment but at least the name brand units seem to be ok with thicker. The way you will know when your juice is too thick for your unit is it will dry hit. A sure sign there…
