I have been pondering this for weeks now. seems like no matter how good a attie or carto perform at first, there is a steady decline in performance after that. i just received a E2v3 or 4 carto from BB. (thanks again) The first hit was awesome good throat hit taste and vapor. Then it went downhill from there. I have tried washing them in different solutions with some improvements, but no where near as close as new. dry burning, does just that and burns the gunk off, but also leaves a burnt under flavor lingering. i have used both vg and pg juice. If you think about it, we are using a coil system that was never meant to be covered with a juicy substance. A car cigarette lighter that stuck to the tobacco and stunk every time you used it until it burned off. A toaster with a piece of toast stuck inside, burning every time till it burns off. even using a coil to heat water the coil is covered and protected. we cant use this system to vape, because it takes to long to heat up.
Some light vaporers may not have much of a problem with this, But as I vape 12 mil a day the mounting gunk ed up atties and cartos are getting way to expensive.
Making my own would help with expenses, But it still would degrade during the day.
So my question to you all, Is are we stuck with the traditional coil until someone has a break through for a heating device that does not degrade over time?
Any thoughts?
