Hi all, please help!

[Georgy Girl]

Hello fellow vapers! I'm new here and also new to vaping, so please forgive me for not being on spec with the terminology As a newby, I've been introduced to vaping with the Joytech Penguin, using 0.6ohm coils. I've had some problems with leakage which seem to be rectified now (operator error) and 70-30 juice (Australian) which has been really good. However, I've recently tried a new juice, purely because I like the flavor and am having problems with it burning out the coil. I think it is a 60-40. After a quick read through the forum, I'm thinking that this mix might not be suitable for those coils? Can any of you experienced vapers recommend a coil which might be better suited or otherwise advise me, please?

Hi and welcome,
My wife uses the penguin and the .6Ω coils exclusively.
Coils last about 2 weeks using approx 50/50 DIY liquid. (your 40%VG should be fine)
Higher flavour/highly sweetened juices will kill coils faster.
I placed a bit of cello tape over the external air intake (cover about half the opening) and that seems to improve wicking and prevents (some) debris from contaminating the coil.

Stop by the Penguin thread for tips, tricks and fellowship.
Joyetech Penguin

Cheers
I

Are those prescription or OTC?

Welcome.
Factory coils will drive you nuts! Well, at least they did me. I was getting 3-5 days out of a coil and I wasn't using the heavy sugary stuff. Spent many hundreds of dollars trying different coils, tanks and etc...

Finally, after much prodding from the nice folks here, they talked me into building my own coils, WHAT A DIFFERENCE and sooooo easy and inexpensive!
Wish I'd listened from the beginning, but maybe buying and trying all the different mods, coils, tanks, juices, etc., is just part of the learning process.

Good luck. Everyone here is friendly and very helpful. You came to the right place!

Hello and welcome to ECF

 

[stols001]

Welcome to ECF. You've gotten some good answers, I do think it may be more likely to be a flavor killing your coils, not your juice ratio. Dark and sweet juices are known coil killers.

Building your own coils CAN be a solution and if you are ready check out the RTA and coilbuilding forums. If you aren't you can DIY juice, and that is in a subforum of the e-liquids forum. Or, you may choose to reserve that juice for another setup, or use juice that is less gunky. I think the penguin is pretty easy going so you may just be running into limitations of the equipment...

Best of luck,

Anna

I don't think anyone has successfully built on the Penguin deck yet. If they did, they weren't exactly newbies.

@Georgy Girl an ingredient called sucralose is probably your culprit. It's a juice sweetener that vendors add to make the vape taste so good. If you really like the flavor, you're gonna consume coils.

HI and welcome. Just a guess here, but is your new juice sweet and/or dark?

 

[Georgy Girl]

I'm thinking you may be right about it being sucralose. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks

Yes, it is.

[Georgy Girl]

Thank you all for the welcome and the great help, very much appreciated! I think I might just avoid that juice for the time being and stick with the others I've been using successfully. Thanks again

 

[suprtrkr]

Yes, it is.

Not a real problem, but to avoid a trip to bankruptcy court, you may want to start building your own coils. Much cheaper that way. Much.

Welcome and I hope some of the suggestions posted have helped

I have a favored coil killing juice that's rda exclusive. Thought I got a bad pack of coils until I figured out the juice was destroying them.

 

[Georgy Girl]

I thought it was a bad batch of coils too. As did my friend who was using the same juice. We both bought coils at the same time/place.
What does RDA exclusive mean please?

Rebuildable dripping atomizer only. Build your own coils or have someone else do it then just change your cotton for a few cents.

I am still struggling (badly, again) to get the Penguin working properly.
I got some appalling dry hits today... worse than ever. I've now gouged the cotton with a sewing needle in the hope of improving the wicking.
This little AIO is really bugging me.

 

[Mr. Relentless]

Sorry about your luck. When I started vaping I got a pen then a little tube style kit but I wasn't truly happy with it until I got a duel 18650 mod and a good well known reliable tank.
