C cell coils troubles

[Sunnyrayleigh]

I'm pretty new to vaping. I have a vaporesso target mod and tank, but every time I try to change the coil, the new one just burns like crazy. I make sure the wattage is correct, I make sure everything is snug but not too snug, I prime the damn thing, but it always gets burnt. Has anyone else had these problems and if so how did you resolve them? For now I'm using a uwell crown tank and that has been great. But I feel it's such a shame that I haven't been able to use the ceramic coils.

howdy! and welcome!

from what i understand you need to start off LOW (like 12w) and work your way up... from another forum member "After watching a video where the guy dry burned the cCell, then wet it water, and burned/steamed that off, I figured I have nothing to lose, so I tried it. Later last night, I tried the coil again, making sure to prime really good, primer puffs, then set aside for a bit. Started at 12 watts, and worked up. It working just fine now."

I will definitely try that. I've been going through so many coils, and I have a functional tank so what's left to lose? Lol I just won another target setup in a contest too so I really wanna get this right so I can use that one.

It shows that C-Cells maximum wattage is 35W which means that to be on the safe side I would recommend to not go above 30W, what wattage are you running when you vape?

+1, start way low to break them in.

Never above 30 but I definitely don't start the coil low enough I think that's my problem

Never above 30 I usually run it at 25.

So far I've wet it and done a few primer puffs... But already it's less burnt smelling. I believe you may have solved my problem! Now I'm super excited to recieve my new target setup

Welcome to Ecf. I love the cCell coils! I use them in a Melo 2 tank and have been for quite awhile now.

They do have a bit of break in time. I fill the tank after dripping about 10 drops directly into the coil. Then, I let the tank sit for about 15 minutes. I start out at 15 W and stay there for my first tank. Midway through the second tank, I move up to around 20W. By the third tank, I move up to 26W which is my sweet spot with these coils.

I have found that if you let the tank run fairly low on juice, it is very easy to change flavors. After just a few draws there will be no trace of the old flavor.

Also, I am able to "dry burn" these coils to clean once they start tasting "off". Once I use this method to clean them, they are like brand new again. I get several months from each coil.

I do hope that you find this info helpful. My guess is that you are either not letting the coil "soak" and get fully saturated for long enough on first fill or, you are not starting off low and moving up

Good luck because these coils really are amazing for vapor and flavor once you get them figured out

ETA- I do hope that you have saved the coils that you got the burnt taste from. They are very easy to recover after priming/breaking in correctly without even a hint of the burnt taste left behind.

I wish I had gone to a forum for help sooner because you're absolutely right I wasn't letting it soak in enough... And unfortunately out of my frustration I did toss a few coils. But the last one that burnt I was able to save and I have been enjoying that one so much. The crown tank is nice but I did miss the ceramic coils. This is a great step forward for me though.

I am glad that you were able to get them working.
So many people like the Crown and it is just not for me.
