Decent Kit Needed

[ripple27]

Hi Guys, i am in need of lots of help Please.
i have been vaping nearly 2 yrs and can't seem to get a decent kit for more than a few months or so but i must admit i think part of it is my fault.
i can only vape 30pg/70vg as i have lung problems and the pg affects it so my kit has to cope with this mix.
At present i am using a Protank2 with spinner and flow adjustment thingy ( forgot proper name) when this kit works its perfect but not sure why or what is the problem it doesn't seem to be good for long maybe few days as soon as i change the wick or tank it goes wrong and i cant figure out why.
Ideally i would like to be able to keep the kit i have (due to poor finances)
Does anyone have any idea why this is going wrong please but bear in mind i am not techy just re buy wicks etc cant do coiling and rebuiling etc so please treat me as a newbie.
I get my juice from Joosejuice as they are the only ones that i know of that does the mix i need and am happy with that side of it just want it all to marry together on a permanent basis if that makes sense to anyone?

When you say goes wrong can you go into a bit more detail as to what happens so we might be able to help.

Can you give us more details as to how it goes wrong? Does it taste burnt, does the juice leak? What happens?

In my experience the Kanger coils are of questionable quality. Sometimes you get a good pack and they are fine, and sometimes you get a duff one that leaks, tastes yucky, and needs replacing quickly.

One way round this is to buy naturevape coils - you will need to wick then yourself with cotton wool, but it's very simple and there are videos on the naturevape website to help you. They fit in a protank 2, and last months.

+1 for @windows's post. Can you tell us exactly what goes wrong please? Is it leaking PT2, or gurgling; no taste or a burnt taste; not working at all!; or anything else I can't think of at the moment.
If you can supply us with as much detail as possible, we should be able to sort you out without it costing very much, if anything. The Protanks are pretty solid bits of kit and easily sorted, so it should be fairly straightforward.

Yes sorry, i seem to be changing the wicks constantly as whenever i put a clean one in it doesn't seem to work and i have to go through all of them to find one that will work but on another day the ones that didn't work will now work?

As i said the Liquid is always the same including flavour but again if i put a clean tank and wick i can't get any vape and another time using same set up i will get loads of vape.

I know this doesn't make any sense.

The Spinners are newish from places on here so not copies etc so i have ruled those out as to the problem.

I ususally change the Tank and Wick about once a week and dread doing that as it might be fine but it might not like now for instance, i have gone through all the wicks and tanks and have found a combination that is working so at the moment im ok until the next time.

Hope this makes more sense and thanks for any help offered

Ok first up, been a heavy vg juice the juice can need time to soak into the wick.

When you pop a new coil in leave it for I am going to say half an hour just to be sure, then take a few puffs without pressing the button on the battery.

Next are you buying genuine kanger coils?? Do they come in a black box saying kanger?

Re wicking is simple if you can thread cotton through a small hole if you wanted to go down that route but I wont confuse you with that just yet.

You say you are just using joose for the ratio-

justvape247 don't just sell concentrates they sell eliquids of their concentrates  something people do not always realise, and come in a range of vg/pg option so perhaps try some new juice?

IONIAN Thanks for link watched it makes it look easy, could i just change the cotton wool in the wicks i already have rather than buying more do you know please? Does it have to be Organic wool or will normal do ?
Thanks for the help

[ripple27]

SAMMY
Yes they are genuine ones and i have used them all at least a few times but the first time i use them they are fine, after watching the video i am leaning towards the rewicking theory and will try replacing the cotton wool on a couple and see what happenes. i will have a look at the site you linked for me thankyou for that its appreciated

[ripple27]

That was interesting.

I just followed the Video but when i took the Cotton Wool out wire came out with it and no light comes on when you turn it on like it shows in the Video is that because the wire came out with the cotton wool does anyone know please?
What do i do to avoid the wire please as it was attached to the cotton wool?

Sounds like you have pulled the coil out, but I am a newbie myself, only 5 months
