How much did you smoke before you started vaping? Could be too much nic. You could also to much hit from the PG. The ceramic will darken over time, even with clear juice. Mine got dark pretty quick, but still worked fine for a couple weeks. Until you start losing flavor, they are fine.I keep getting quite the heavy throat hits.
Unfortunately this is probably a combination of me being a bit ill, the cCell (kanthal is on right now) needing some breaking in and the juice I picked to be 50% PG and 50% VG (also not very good so far).
I've got it at 21w and the airflow halfway open. If I inhale a bit too much, it brings me to coughing.
Kind of regretting filling the tank full with this juice. It's a bit dark so I'm guessing that if I leave it in the tank for too long, it will darken the ceramic quite a bit.
I have only tried the cCells so far, but I have ceramic coils on the way for my Reaper Plus and I will be getting the UD Simba here shortly, which has a few different wire types in ceramic so I am very much looking forward to contrasting and comparing them. It's going to be hard to top the cCells, methinks.
Was the UPC on the new box different from the UPC on your original box of coils? I ran into that, and both vendors said they both worked directly with Vaporesso, so who knows. Both were the .9 kanthal. Haven't even had to use one from the new box though, still getting life out of the coils from the original box.
I had exactly the same experience with the newer coils and now mine are great, too! I'm not sure what Vaporesso did besides change that one O ring, but the coils are different from the original ones that came with the kits. They do seem to take a little longer to prime, but now that I know that it's all good again.
Ugh, I hope the soaking works. that is so disappointing.
I ordered some ceramic coils for my Reaper Plus but I have been hearing about awful leaking issues with them, so I am kind of kicking myself for ordering them but we'll see what happens. I am glad I only ordered one box of them, though.
I don't know because I haven't got the original box left.
Both boxes I've received for .9 replacements have had the red o-rings. The only time it was different for me was in the original target and mod kit, I think those were white orings. Just got some of the SS ones that came with my Gemini. Kinda having so-so performance with the .5. Keep having "burnt" hits. Not really used to using SS though, and have been using it in wattage.
Maybe they continually make improvements/upgrades? Not sure, but I do know I have 2 different boxes of .9 kanthal coils, with 2 different UPCs. (both boxes with red O-rings). Both from trustworthy vendors. I haven't tried the new coils that came with the Gemini in any other tank yet. The .8 is still unused. I have a Melo 2 and a Super Tank Mini that I could try them in, which I think I will to try to solve my burnt hit problem I'm currently having with the .5 SS. The .9 coil I have in my Melo 2 is going 3+ weeks strong! the longest ccell so far that I've used. Once that runs out going to try the .8 in it. As for the Gemini, I'm wondering if maybe not enough juice is wicking because there was never this much of a break in period with the .9 coils. I could also try swapping it into the original Target tank to see if it's a wicking issue at all.
