Hi all.

Glad to be back posting here again. I vape two tritons simultaneously. A VV and a regular. I usually vape Nicoticket. I have been encountering, for months and months, an issue with the juice burning a black spot onto the wick in contact with the coil. It is maddening and disgusting. My solution has largely been to move the wick a bit (by pulling it one way) after beginning to taste burning. This causes me to go through way more coils than I would want to. I try not to vape too much in succession - and use two simultaneously so as to try to not get either too hot. This issue happens on even new wicks/coils. Maybe I am vaping too many pulls off it in succession (as I do not have permission to vape in my office and only take one pull every once in awhile). Any ideas to fix this issue would be much appreciated, as I am about to switch to a mod with bottom coil capability solely to prevent this issue. It is really not fun.

The wick at the coil will turn black unless it is efficiently cleaned and/or dry burned. Every wick will finally die however as the "burn" (which is really a gunk buildup) gets worse and the coil has to be replaced. I own bottom coils and they "burn" (turn black) and eventually have to be replaced also. That's why replacement coils are sold for any brand of tanks.
