Isub G Coil Life

[pinkie1205]

For the people who have the isub, how long do your coils last without rewicking? I just got my tank Saturday and today (Tuesday) the coil is shot. I'm not a big vaper. I don't really chain vape at all. I probably could have changed my coil Sunday night but I wanted to use it some more.
I just have NO flavor. I'm kind of disappointed. I love the vape I get on a fresh coil but it doesn't last.
I'm vaping on a coolfire 4 between 25-30 watts at the moment. I had it up to 35 but the flavor started going downhill. I was using 80vg juice but now I'm using 70.
Is the VG killing the coil? I can't do less because I have a PG sensitivity.

I'm also getting spit back. Which is really weird. These coils are the ones that came with the tank. Bad batch??

A lot depends on which ohm coils you're using.

On the stock 0.5, 35w is pushing it. I'd guess low 20's works best for me. The push-pin through the cotton trick add 5-10 watts to the wicking ability, but I don't think I got one above ~43w.

The new 0.2, with the pin trick, I stopped at 50w because the DT was heating up, but I run mine around 35w.

I get a few weeks between re-wickings, but I'm running a number of atties at a time so usage on each would be low. A handful of days though is just wrong, unless you're putting 30ml a day through it.

I got about 3 weeks at 28-30 watts running high vg e-juice but I primed the coil before use and after each cleaning and I'm not a light vapor I guess it could depend on the mod mine is the istick TC 40w maybe the coolfire 4 has a more steady and level output.

I did the push pin trick.
I put this coil in yesterday and there is still no flavor whatsoever. I know it's not my juice.
I ordered another pack to see if maybe they are just bum coils. I really want to like this tank.

I might try it on my istick 50w and see if that does any better.
I did rewick a coil but I think I put in too much cotton OR I didn't prime it enough because it tasted burnt immediately. I rewicked it again but I didn't try it yet.

Did you dry burn the coil between wickings? No getting rid of that taste otherwise.

 

[pinkie1205]

No, not on purpose. Just the one I rewicked that either had too much cotton or didn't suck up enough juice. I've since rewicked it but I haven't tried it yet.
