Way to extend the life of Kanger coils

[yuenie]

Hi I am a newbie but I am curious why the Kanger coils are so inconsistent. Sometimes it lasts for 2 weeks or longer but sometimes it just dies or burns in a 1-2 days. I am thinking it may be the cotton inside is not "soggy" enough. Then I did some tests and found a way and would like to share with all newbies here.

There are 2 (or 4) tiny holes on the stem of each coil. Use a small pricker to make those holes larger. That's it !

One more thing I find it useful but optional is that you may use a needle to poke into the hole and do a circular motion every time you refill the tank. . This can kind of loosen the cotton a bit.

hope this works for everyone.

Which Kanger tank are you using? Is it a common problem?

I need to get my mind out of the gutter. Sounds like an oxymoron.

What would you consider a "small pricker"? I'm not familiar with the term?

If it is the old ones, I just toss them in a pile until I have time to rebuild them. If it is the newer ones, I agree - they are inconsistent with flavor and time.

What size pricker? and where do you buy them?..

 

[wheelie]

I don't even use new ones. I just tear them apart and new coils and wick them. Then all I have to do when they clog up is clean, remove wicks, dry burn and rewick. About fifteen or twenty rewicks then put in new coil. I change wife's Kanger coils every two days to keep things fresh. CHEERS!

Hi yuenie!

Unfortunately KangerTech have had many issues with all coil units they have made! One common problem with their devices is that you have to mess around with things! For example, like you said.

use a needle to poke into the hole and do a circular motion every time you refill the tank.

I used KangerTech for the first six months of vaping. During those six months I had problems such as: dry hits, gurgling coils, consistent leaking. I left Kanger for good and moved onto Aspire and have never looked back! However I do own a Kanger Subtank that I used for testing and information. But although they are popular amongst many vapors, I personally wouldn't recommend them due to many minor issues that are unnecessary and all KangerTech products have the same issues, but instead of fixing the issues they seem to just release a new product that of course, have the same issues!

which kanger coils are you talking about?
the protank and evod coils should be coming with silica not cotton.

I'm guessing the 1.2 and 0.5 ohms for the sub tanks, you just need to stick a pin in the holes where the cotton is so they let more juice into the coil.

They have cotton wicks available now for the dual and the old style single coils.

Put a drop of juice in the top of the coil, just took apart my tank and wiped the inside of the top with paper towel, next hit or 2 was dry ish
