No flavour - or burning

[Mr Ripple]

Also tried opening and closing the airflow to see if that makes a difference.

@Shetland_stuart it's a VECO tank and it should be a direct to lung device

Are you vaping it like a cigarette by drawing it into your mouth first before inhaling (mtl mouth to lung) or are you inhaling it directly into your lungs (dtl direct to lung)

How long are you leaving it between uses? When you fire the mod the liquid in the cotton is vaporised, liquid then needs to soak back into the cotton. If you are using it too often, the cotton won't have time to reabsorb liquid especially if you use thicker liquids like 70/30, 80/20. This will result in no flavour and/or a burnt taste as the dry cotton becomes burnt.

Probably most like a cigarette, how should I be doing this differently? I’ve tried slowly inhaling and holding in my mouth but then I just cough

Probably 30 seconds or so between hits Where I’ll take say 15 hits. Then I’ll wait about 1-2 hours before using it again. It seems o may get 3 hits or so before it tastes really burnt

I think you have a kit that is designed for DTL and you need MTL.
Unless you can get more air flowing over the coil when you inhale it will burn the coil.
Did you chose it or was it chosen for you?

@Steve_Fowler Having just read the thread, it is quite clear that you have been sold a DTL sub-ohm tank and you are trying to vape it MTL. This won't work. Either embrace the DTL way of vaping which involves taking a deep draw, straight into your lungs followed by a long cloudy exhale (Don't worry, your juice will be a low nicotine percentage 3mg or 6mg, so it won't be too much)

Or.

Take it back and tell the store you want an MTL setup, that simulates smoking a cigarette.

A mouth to lung tank is a very different beast and has a much tighter draw, by design and is used in conjunction with high mg juices (12 to 18mg) and a higher PG ratio, which will give you a stronger throat hit for much less vapour.

Sounds like a POD system might be what you need. They are all the rage and our friends at JAC vapour do some nice ones. Google them.

I've used 3 different ones;
Skettles (strawberry flavour)
One that is basically Orangina
A Mr Frosty strawberry one

for the coils I've got these;
0.4 ohm 40w-50w

I bought everything from a vape shop and they changed the coil so know I haven't messed that up

My firs thought would be the liquid you are using then being extremely high in swettner and therefore burning the coil out quickly. that is the simplest solution. Anything orangina/fanta is going to be very sweet for example and therefore if the coils are not designed to go high power then they may be struggling to shift the additional sweetner and therefore that is where you are having the issue.

i know from experience that high sweetner liquids shorten the powerful coils so perhaps trying something a little bit more neutral in flavour may do the trick.

Vape shops will sell you liquid regardless of how good it actually is. Again from expeirence when i started out i bought liquid for months not realising it was shite and that was why i had to keep buying coils!
