I haven't vaped those specific liquids, but given the rave reviews, I think there may be some experimentation to be done.

I would definitely consider playing with voltage, as gurgling can be a sign that you're drawing more liquid onto the wick than the coil can vapourise. 4.2V generally is the high end though, so if you start getting a burnt taste, back it off quickly to avoid burning the juice. Some flavours like a cooler coil too (usually fruity flavours) so excessive volts can reduce the flavour. Experiment a bit and see how you go. Also, check that no liquid has dripped down the centre post to the contacts of the Vamo, as this can really reduce the current going to the coil.

As above, try different ways of drawing on your ecig. Unlike a burning smoke, drawing harder doesn't = more vapour, as the coil can only vapourise so much at a certain voltage. Long slow draws (experiment here) are the rule of thumb.

I know some chaps have spoken about removing a part of the wick in the protank to improve flavour (I could be getting mixed up with the Evod here though) so perhaps someone who uses the protank could offer some advice here.

I've removed one of the flavour wicks on my KPT - much better vapour production and cleaner taste.

I also would recommend switching to Variable Wattage on your Vamo - I found it gives more precise control over finding the "sweet spot".
Also, did you put the Vamo into Mode N02? This also improves things...
 
I also find Variable wattage better on my Vamo or Evic.
I did try removing a strand on my spare head for the Protank, but tbh i didn't notice any change in taste, and i got more gurgling.
I find that as soon as the juice gets near the metal base it starts gurgling so keep it topped up. Or a sharp blow of air through the Protank will clear the gurgle.
Also try and wait a sec or 2 after pressing the button before u begin to draw on it, and a long slow draw is best.

Also Scorchisio, its really easy to recoil a Protank, its cost £1 for 1m of Kanthal, £1 for 1m of 2mm silica or Ecowool, i can recoil my Protank about 20 times for £2 :D

@glitch, flavour can be very subjective, some Vapers can love a flavour and many more may dislike it, just keep looking, u fill find some flavours u like soon, just try and buy 10ml samples until u do.
Grizwalds are supposed to be good. http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Grizwalds-Gourmet-Liquids/Grizwalds-Samplers/Grizwalds-5ml-Samplers.html

@Hyburnate, nice to see a fellow tanker in here lol.:D

I'm finding the Protank to be a bit hit and miss.

It will usually toke well, with a good flavor, but then it will randomly give of a horrible rubbery hit. This is easily fixable by unscrewing the base slightly until you see bubbles travelling up the tank.

But that rubber taste is horrible and makes me paranoid about my lungs health.

Anyone know how to stop this? All 4 heads I have do it.

Yeah, rebuildable tanks drink the juice. Before 2ml would last me a over day, now I burn through that in a few minutes. I've spent a bit of money on juices already, been making a list:

30ml Monkey Jizz (ordered)
30ml Lime Sparkle (ordered)
30ml Snake Oil
50ml Grants Vanilla Custard
30ml Scopes Apple Tart
30ml Hangsen Apple
30ml Hangsen Melon (not nice)
7 X 10mg (Mixture of Hangsen flavours)

Your lime sparkle should be with you today ;) Word of caution it will crack poly tanks so please either drip with it or use something like the protank.

The only solution is to recoil the heads yourself. The "legs" of the coil are held in place by a rubber bung, and as the coil heats up, so do they. If you recoil the head yourself you can double up the legs, halving their resistance, and make sure they don't get that hot.

Assuming you've taken off the little rubber thing on the coil as they come new?

Just got my protank and new battery in the mail this morning and I'm very pleased with it! I had been using cartos but this is far far superior, I'm getting probably double the vapour now it's fantastic. I had a big nicotine headrush at first because I wasn't expecting such an improved hit :p

I assume the 3-4 weeks steeped is better is it? ive never tried it haha so not sure. What MG is it? Just send me a mail bud and Il sort it out at lunch time I hope it will come over the weekend or something.

<3
 
Is it just me or does anyone else not like GVC? :eek: Maybe because i was a smoker not a pie eater :D, just seems wrong to me, like eating whilst smoking.:confused:

the custard has made grant a very rich man, and i couldnt wish it on a better bloke, he really is a gent to deal with. :)

Im sure he is, not sure he'll be in for early retirement making custard juice, but good luck to him. Still i just don't get it, don't seem to get on with anything but tobacco flavors.

give it a while for your taste buds to come back if you recently gave up smoking. If you quit ages ago then taste is subjective or you may have had a bad batch possibly.

I've been saving one which has been steeping for months and as soon as I pop the lid off I get knocked by a whiff of creamy custard, it is really nice when steeped. :D
 
Strange isn't it, I use to smoke Golden Virginia quite a heavy smoker too 30 years, but i was fed up with it could no longer stand the smell or taste, now I'm vaping virginia tobacco flavor (with a little caramel) and love it far more than i ever liked smoking!

Been vaping nearly a year and quit the fags over 8 months ago, i had a bottle of GVC for months and kept having a little try now and then but never got on with it. Have since tried many many flavors but still don't like them, i used to like cinnamon but vape it only very rarely. I now only mix my own tobacco flavors.
 
The only specific tobacco flavours I ever did try were Totally Wicked's (spit) standard carp. Though RY4 isn't so bad but it's hardly tobacco flavour. More like something you buy from the sweet counter. TBH I can't see the point in trying to imitate something so foul... There is so many flavours to try.

Currently rocking some hazelnut, with a second CE5 of coconut (yum). When the coconut gets too sickly, I dump in a little coffee. Coconut coffee is the vape of gods IMO :D
