Fasttech really need to send out my TFV4 damnit. I am so curious to see if it holds up to the hype
Drift monkey, after you cleaned it out with vodka and hot water, how long did you let it sit before you started to vape it again? Also, did you attempt to dry burn it to clean the gunk on the coils themselves? I guess i'm just trying to get a better understanding of whether or not the dark color in the cotton is just from warm/burnt juice, or from burnt cotton.
Got a 5 pack of tri-coils in today, along with the dual rba. Mind you that I am almost militant about not buying stock coils and using rba kits. But getting a dripper vape without having to yank off the top cap, and being careful not to over drip after a long day at work, won the day.
After 15 days and around 50-60 tanks I will change my triple coil today. Really curious how it looks like

definitely a LOT better than expected!
Looks a bit worse on the pics I have to admit but there was near to no crumbs on the coil, of course discoloured. I am using RedAstaire which has some artificial coloring in it that might gunk the coils a bit.

I wonder how hard it would be to rebuild the coils. Even then, performance probably wouldn't be the same. Thanks for the pics, Daisychainvaper!
hrm - i wonder if we are going to be seeing that type of cotton sheeting sold as wicking - number of premade coils seem to be using it
You (not me...) can definitely rebuild them! My heart broke while throwing away this beautiful block of SS
yah - been rebuilding old kanger heads with nickel tc builds - so far, working well - verticals, as opposed to the horizontals you can buyYou (not me...) can definitely rebuild them! My heart broke while throwing away this beautiful block of SS
Lol For me it would probably be too much of a hassle, but I might try it just for kicks. I need to grab myself a pack of some replacement coils, gonna call the B&M that I bought my tank from and see if they're carrying the coils and see how overpriced they are. My tank will be 3 weeks old on Sunday, been using the same quad coil the whole time except for about 2 days where I tried the triple. Still tastes pretty damn good at 70-80w.
I changed my Triple coil today @ 26 days and so many tank fulls I lost count. It was getting just a hint of burnt taste at 100 watts (or maybe I was just imagining it so I could change it). Hmmmm
Everything went good on coil swap, no leaks. I don't think it "needed it" but the seals o rings got swapped from some from Ebay. The bottom of coil did look oxidized Greenish. Hard to toss this chunk of metal in the trash.
I did not prime the new coil, I dry hit with the vents closed one time real deep, then I chain vaped at 65 watts until liquid was at the top of the glass. Then I took it straight to 115 watts and cranked away.

Not been around for a while, mine quad coil lasted a month but after the third week, there was a drop in flavor a little bit.
Just a little heads up, when this tank decides to leak, oh boy does it leak, it pours out of the afc pretty fast, this was again due to the bottom O ring, somehow it had flattened itself to much, I had to take it out and wash it, then use a dinner knife to smooth it back in place, no more leaks after that. I think it was due to being tightened down too much.
Got sick of the drip tip too, this one is nice and cool and enhances the flavor even more..
