Aspire Nautilus Mini. Black ash inside coils?

[Phibes]

Hello vapers.

I'm using Aspire nautilus Mini.
Since I had couple of issues with juice coming out of the drip tip, I sometimes use some paper and clean the drip tip and the airflow just to be sure.

I've noticed that there is some black ash or [FONT=arial, sans-serif]curd inside the coil. Is this coming from wick, coil or is it burned e juice? Either way, is there any danger to inhale this? (if that's possible). I don't get any burnt taste.

Thank you in advance for your answers. Appreciate it!

How old is the coil?
I've had something similar, mostly on sweet juice, I tend to pop in a new coil, and either boil then dry or just bin the old one depending on its age

This happens after 2 day usage and 4-5 mil.

Are you using quite dark sweet juice? Either way I'd be going with a new coil and boil or bin the old one,

It's a 50/50 PG/VG juice. Not dark (yellow colour). I've changed coil, and tried non flavoured 70/30 PG/VG. Still the same issue.

I'm going with a new coil every time but I find it very strange that I have to change them every 2 days. Many people reported up to two weeks use. Don't know if they have "ash" into coils or if they even notice it.

If you juice tastes fine you can continue using your coil. Coils "gunk up" over time as juice builds up on the coil. This will also happen with unflavored VG (which alone has a slightly sweet taste). Sweeter, more complex, tobacco & darker colored juice will "gunk" up coils faster.

You won't be inhaling any "ash" unless you let your coils run dry.

Thank you Cowboy192 & Susan~S for the replies. Yeah, I will probably never let my coils run dry
