Alright thanks guys for all your advice on my previous post. ! Just popped in the .25 as the .5 coil I put in Sunday was burnt already. I saturated the outer edge and four holes on the .25 coil let it sit repeated the process again. Started off just pulling on it no power no air then air. After started at 30 took a few shorts puffs then gradually increased by five watts till 60 taking short puffs. Let's see if it will last weeks as a few videos I have seen on YouTube state. Should I prime my .5's in the same matter?
.25 crown uwell primed coil see if it's worth it

Priming replacement coils is much easier than it used to be with how exposed the coil and wicking material is is most of these clearos. It sounds like you did fine, but I would also put liquid on the coil itself as well as the wicking holes. You want that thing to be saturated all the way through without flooding it.
Thanks for the reply. By saying the coil itself do you mean in the center of the coil? What are some signs that would indicate flooding? Better flooded then not enough juice? It's pulling fine now. Should I keep the wattage down to 40-45 for the first half tank to full tank? Would that help make it last longer? The YouTube video I watched the guy was saying they last weeks and he goes all the way up to 120watts lol. My last .25 granted I just started hauling off of it like a mad man as I didn't know any better lasted 3 days 40-80 watts.. Should all coils be primed before use?
My last 0.25 coils (Crown) also last about 2 weeks at least. I always prime my coils inside and outside took short puffs at very low wattage, repeat the process many, many times and leave it at least overnight until I would start upping the wattage the next day. I've heard that with this particular coil, you have to be very patience. Oh, and it also help if you punch some holes in the cotton on the juice holes with a very small needles since the wicking is very thick and dense. I really enjoy it even though I had some problem with the TC on some of my mods. Now though, I'm having problem with leaking issue with the rba so I'm switching back to the 0.25 which I'd ordered 4 boxes.
And yes, you should prime your coils, always, for any and all coils.

Yes. As I said before, if you think you've flooded the coil, it's probably loaded just enough to get you started. The Crown coils have a lot of wicking needing to be saturated.
Ok we
Ok well I repeated the short puff process from 30-60 watts going up in 5 watts increments a few times then just kept it at forty watts and took moderate puffs. It's now sitting overnight. Let's see
. What do you run your .25 at normally once primed? @aceman3330 ?

. What do you run your .25 at normally once primed? @aceman3330 ?Ok perfect! Thanks again! How do you know if it's flooded? Here it was pulling well no crackling just a bit and no juice flying up in my mouth either! @Douggro how long do these coils last u? And what wattage do you run?
60-80 watts, and I've tried 100 watts too on my DNA200, not a problem.Ok we

So far, the average life for the .25Ω's has been around a week. That's at 50W going through 7-9ml a day. I'm using the .15Ω Ni coil right now, on week #2 with it, 45W @ 500F, still going.
You'll know you flooded it during priming if you hear it gurgling. Actually, I like to hear a little of that when I first fire a new one up: with my priming method, I'm reasonably sure it's not going to dry-fire on me when I hear it gurgle.
Coils do not last Days, weeks or Months.......
They last (X) amount of e-liquid usage.
Now the fun part is figuring out the best power to get a good vape while not damaging the head.
Picking a Good e-liquid that will not Gum up the works to fast.
Not doing dumb things like vaping the tank dry, etc.
Calculating just how much you actually vaped off 1 good coil.
Now you have an Idea how long they should last.

Think we have a winner here.
Currently have the .15Ω Ni coil in the Crown, well into Week #3, average consumption is 7ml/day. It's just starting to show signs of going "off" just a bit, but still vape-able. 150ml from one coil is not bad in my book.
@crxess well I'm been tracking that as well so far got 40 ml out of the tank:Coils do not last Days, weeks or Months.......

.25 uwell coil
.25 65-80 higher end wattage got 263 puffs.
Round two with .25 got 235 puffs higher to mid end wattage
Round three with .25 239 puffs. Higher to mid end
Round four with .25 got 175 puffs.
Round five 65-75 watts got 206
Round six got 223.
Round 7 got 175 puffs.
Round 8 got 199 puffs
Round 9 got 149 puffs
Round 10-165 puffs
I keep track of the puffs per tank and at first I was getting over 200 puffs per tank now it's lowering as the coil gets used do you get less puffs?
Damn that's awesome!!!Think we have a winner here.

I must be lucky.I have had my CROWN for about 3 months now.when I prime a coil I just keep putting juice on the wicking holes till it stops absorbing.Put a few drops in/on the hole let it soak in,rotate to the next one and continue till no more juice goes in.Takes about ten min.I havent kept track of juice but 3 weeks seems to be average on my coils.So far I have tried the .5 and .15 ni
I'm currently on week four of my Crown 0.25 coil. Using a RX200, only around 30 watts.
The following is meant to be a general guide for all clearomizers:
"Flooding" is a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. The definition of flooding is getting juice into the air passage of the tank. This can include any point between the mouth piece and the very bottom part that connects to the battery. Each tank has holes in that air passage, where the wicks passthrough. This is required for the device to work properly. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility for flooding. The trick with flooding, is knowing how to avoid it. I’ll explain a little more, but a few common causes for flooding a tank include: improper filling, over filling, pulling too hard when hitting the device, and the temperature can even play a role and/or damage.
"Dry" or "burnt" hits are also a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. This happens when an inadequate quantity of e-liquid reaches the coil. This can occur from using an e-liquid which is too thick for a tank, intake holes for the e-liquid being inadequate, or using a bad wick or coil. Doing "primer puffs", which is taking a puff or two without power on, may eliminate this phenomenon.
Before I get into the explanation, let me explain how an e-cig works a little more in depth. Nearly every tank has a wick that is used to absorb the juice in the tank. This wick cuts through the air passage. Typically, the wicks look like strings hanging in the tank, but some have smaller wicks located at the bottom of the tank and the ‘strings’ are not visible unless the tank is disassembled. Each wick has a piece of wire that wraps around it in a coil. When you activate the button on the battery, you send electricity through the wire. As the wire heats up, it vaporizes the juice that is in the wick.
Improper Filling: When filling your tank, you have to be careful not to get juice into the center tube of the tank. This center tube is the air passage. When you take a draw, air comes from the bottom of the tank, through the air passage and into your mouth. If you get juice into this passage way, your tank is flooded.
Over Filling: If you over fill a tank (specifically a top coil like the ones that come with the starter kits and gift boxes), the wicks can become over saturated and just like a rain cloud, they will leak into the air passage. Once this happens, you have a flooded tank.
Pulling Too Hard: As I mentioned the wicks absorb the juice in the tank. As you pull on the device, you cause a vacuum effect that pulls juice into the wicks. If you pull too hard, you can pull in more juice then the coil can vaporize. If this happens, the juice leaks into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Temperature: E-Juice is a viscous liquid. Which means that as it warms up, it will thin out. And in the opposite form, it will thicken when it gets cold. When it thins, it is more difficult for the wicks to hold back the thin juice. This usually causes the wicks to over saturate and, you guessed it, it will leak into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Damage: There are o-rings and gaskets used that can wear out with usage. If certain ones fail or get lost, leaking will occur, in turn flooding the air passage and causing you to have a flooded tank. Other than accidentally losing something, damage can occur when its carried in a purse or a pocket or by over tightening the tank to the battery. Over tightening is a very common cause of leaking due to the damage it creates.
