Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to vaping and I got subtank as my first atomizer paired with joyetech vtc mod.
I was having problems with it since day one, I didn't quite like the OCC coils that came with it so i threw them out after some time and started tinkering with the rba deck. For a week or so I was struggling with dry hits and burning the coil and eventually managed to set everything up perfectly. I did 4 wraps of 26g kanthal and some organic cotton. I was extremely satisfied with it and chainvaped it for 4-5 days, had zero issues with it. Eventually I wore out the cotton and decided to replace it. I messed up the coil a bit and built it again the same with. This time all my problems started coming back - dry hits and burnt taste after a few hits. I managed to stop the burnt hits but the problem now is the flavour - it is muted, I can barely feel any. I have tried everything I could think of or found online, i tried building coil ranging from .4 ohms to 1.2 ohms, i tried using both the 26g kanthal and 24g, I even tried twisted kanthal (not sure how many gauges is it), I tried pancake wicking method, tried putting different amounts of cotton. I tried from wrapping the coil from 3 to 8 wraps, even tried parallel coil and horizontal coil. Absolutely nothing seems to bring back the flavour. I ofcourse tried many different brands of juice, mostly 3mg, tried 40/60, 30/70, 20/80 vg juices - no success.
I thought I might have vaper's tongue or whatever its called, but I tried vaping my "dealer's" setup and I could definitely feel the flavour, so I dont think its that.
Of course I could through out this tank and get a something else, but the thing that bothers me is that I managed to get amazing experience on it and I cant understand why I cannot get it again.
Any advice would be helpful because I'm quite desperate and out of ideas.
