Accidentally burned my coil.

[ColdHeartClan]

Round robin scrolling is a FANTASTIC feature. When you vape at 200w and need to dry burn your dripper its way easier with round robin scrolling than having to back my happy .... all the way down to 40w.

But no for a tank it's awful.

Yes, it was an unexpected feature, and not a good one, perhaps another fatal steampunk flaw? Well, it did kill a coil....

If it helps, Olderthandirt pointed out that since I have no exp. with smok products I shouldn't say bad stuff about them. So maybe the Steampunk wanted to reveal another imperfection of its own that I can talk about instead of Smok?? No more smok talk from me....

You're not gonna like this one then but out of curiosity have you tried any recent smok product ?I myself will stop recommending them for 1 reason : 2 coils in less than a month is unacceptable to me (both included coils in my big baby finally gave up) when my trusty scylla still has an original coil in it after 1 month xD. Not a bad experience since the flavor was very good and nice clouds came but the longevity of those coils are really bad imo. I'd be more interested in their mods though not buying another smok tank for now.

No, I have not. TBH, curiosity might have motivated me but they seem to specialize in DL sub0hm equipment? I think the Smokalien *looks* very cool, but I haven't tried it or even seen one out and about and on the run.

I've heard you can extend coil life of smok coils (some of them) by boiling them or washing them? I know you octocouple .000001 cloud people expect longer life out of a coil than I do, but to be fair, I'm vaping max VG at puny wattages.

Since I already have several mods I love, I don't see the need to purchase an (for me) overpowered smok mod just so I can trash talk them and knowing me, it would probably end up being the best mod I ever bought and last forever or something....

Trying to resurrect a factory coil can be done, but between the time of it, and the IME just extra few days of use from it isn't worth all the effort. For me a factory coil is supposed to be for convenience. I can build and wick an RTA in less time than the whole PGA soak/hot water boil and another day to dry stuff. I also am only an occasional user of factory coil tanks, generally for travel and whatnot for that convenience of carry a spare coil and pop it in in 30 seconds, and done.

For me, it's a lot easier to wash a coil than build one... as of yet. I really don't trust myself yet to be carrying around an RTA, spare cotton, and steady hands at all times, but perhaps one day I will feel the same.

Today, if I hadn't had my vape working perfectly, I would've bought a pack of cigarettes, in fact I almost did so on the way home this afternoon.... Setting up my dentures to accept my implants should NOT have taken 6 hours, 4 advil (after I started crying from the pain involved, thanks to my implants having been deep cleaned the day before, denture guy was working on live bone, and he was like "You should've waited" and I was all, "I'm not leaving without functional dentures, the periodontist said it was fine...")

I don't know why he didn't use some topical crap even, but then I had to wait for the Advil to work while he failed a couple more times without listening to me saying "the caps are not coming off as they should because you have my top denture tilted in my mouth, which I have been trying to tell you only you keep telling me to *bite down* when I try to say that," and then he finally did get it right. Thank god. I think he felt bad also, he didn't charge me to reline my bottom denture, we were both just having a horrid time and he had to squeeze me in between his other patients. It's funny that the last step was so hard.

But my point is, if my tank had started leaking horribly and I couldn't have stealth vaped during those 6 hours (no one noticed) I would have driven straight to the gas station and not for gasoline, either. So as a coil user (and the Kabuki isn't helping ) I find it useful to wash my coils.

I imagine I'm just going to fall in one camp or the other, coils or builds. Right now, it's coils.

I was a pop a coil in user until this past March, with the deems I made sure I could build and now I find my self loving my built coils better. They taste so much better. If the threat of the deems didn't happen, I wouldn't have know how much better my juice could get.
