A Demon Farted In My E-Liquid

[lanye]

For real though, I think I broke something.

I've been using my HexOhm 2.1 with Aspire Atlantis 2 tanks. Today I noticed that I was starting to get a little bit of a burnt taste and I immediately knew - A demon had farted burnt rubber sharts into my beloved 'Twas Brillig (after a week, no less!)

I changed out the coil, primed the new coil, filled the tank with fresh e-liquid and let it soak for a good 10 minutes. I go to take a vape and BURNT RUBBER.

What. The. Frogballs.

I had my mod set to 10 Watts to break the new (1 ohm coil) in. Surely this is an issue with the coils?? This isn't the first Atlantis coil I've had taste like a hot shadoobie fresh out of the box. Am I missing something?

I mainly vape the 0.5 ohm coils around 30-40 Watts but I only have two left so I switched to my back up 1.0 ohms. It seems like the 1.0 ohm coils never taste that great. Did I get a crap box or am I having a blonde moment?

Forgot to mention: these 1.0 ohm coils are spitting juice like a 6th street...lady.

I would try one of the 0.5 coils and see how it is. Burned rubber? That's very strange. I have no idea really. When I was using premade coils I did run into a few duds here and there, usually in the same package.

howdy - and welcome - and well played!

it is entirely possible you got bad coils - it sounds very much like you are hitting on all cylinders (well, with your vape rig...) - coils primed, starting with low wattage...

on a side note, i have found that with vertical coils (like the atlantis coils) i can soak them in pga overnight, then hit the center with a small bristle brush, soak overnight again - then hot water rinse and air dry - can get a decent bit more mileage out of the coils that way, as long as the cotton hasn't burnt

Great tip on the coils! I'll try it out and see if I can't save a few pennies for girlier things.

I tried a few puffs off of it, couldn't taste much but got the burnt/fake/chemical-esque aftertaste. If it's not craptastic coils then...couldn't be...that my taste buds just dropped the mic and left me with a case of Vaper's tongue?

 

[dcfluegel]

it is - unfathomable as it may seem - entirely possible that something is amiss with your culinary sensitivities

 

[Ou2mame]

I've never had vapors tongue so I can't really say. Do you drink a lot of water? When you vape you have to drink plenty of water.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

I L'ed MAO at this one! That's one of the most colorful descriptions I've ever heard.

 

[Denvap0r]

Vaper's tongue is usually a lack of flavor, not demon flatulence. Sure sounds like a bad coil. Hot spot maybe burning the rubber insulator.

On a side note, a possibly exorcism of your vaping gear might help too. "The power of Christ compels thee"

I got so tickled and choked up after reading the thread name I spit coffee all over my screen. Great way to get the day started. Thank you and good luck solving your problem.

You got a nice name and a plot for a horror movie.

Hey wait, nobody's gonna mention here that the Hexohm is variable voltage, not wattage? Not only that, it's variable from 3.7V-6V, and its max outputtable wattage is 110W.

"How were you able to get 10W on a HexOhm?" is my question, because at minimum voltage it's 3.7V (~14W) through a 1 ohm coil. Granted, I don't know if 14W should necessarily be frying your coils, but my point is, you'll need to have the voltage turned as low as it can physically go, and even then you'll be outputting 14W.

I'm slightly tentative, but my guess is you were frying your coils/cotton.

We've already covered this @nyiddle, a demon possessed the gear. A demon possession makes the improbable possible, and the impossible probable.

I think the frogballs are what is doing it

Lest anyone think the frogballs aren't part of the problem.

This thread is givin me the vapors. Maybe someone put a "hex" on her mod...

 

[Romano Cheese]

Greetings and welcome to the forums @lanye I highly recommend filling your tank with Holy Water to exorcise the demon flatulence. Once the pure, concentrated evil is gone proceed to wash out the tank with hot water...maybe a little dish soap for sanitary reasons.

Sorry to hear about your luck!

Well, now I am thoroughly confused.

Sorry for the mess! Glad you were able to laugh at my pain, bwahahaha.

Not a writer, just a lowly photographer.

Can I acquire Holy Water on Amazon?

 

[dcfluegel]

so, with the HexOhm v2.1, can you set the voltage on that? I may be looking at the wrong place, but I am seeing one version that seems to be Variable Voltage and one listed as an unregulated box mod? i r confused, as well
