Black stuff

[Dodger01]

Hay seriously when I change my coils there is black putty looking nasty stuff!! Build up of something inside the coil what is it?

That's mostly the burnt sweeteners from your juice. Nothing to worry about.

Caramelized flavorings, sweeteners, slight amount of pg/vg.
AKA - coil gunk.

 

[mongo74]

Carbonized gunk from ingredients like sweeteners and colorings/flavorings.

Better than black stuff on your lungs from smoking

Nevermind.

YIKES!

First, it looks like too much cotton, but how long has it been since you changed that wick? That looks nasty, and I imagine it can't taste good either.

Not mine, just a photo off google to show the OP what coil gunk looks like.
Does look nasty!

A couple of my juices really gunk up my coils. I have to dry burn and change the cotton every other day when I vape them.

Yup, I realized right after posting, which is why I edited and removed my original post. But yeah, that looks NASTY.

And to think, I was nervous seeing my coil black, at least my cotton is still clean

 

[Dodger01]

I actually don't that coil in the pic is vapeable. Don't see how any air could circulate let alone trying to get past the taste. eeewwww.

At least everyone now knows to never let it get anywhere near that kind of shape.........

This pic should be posted as "things not to do or vape"

I disagree. I think it's a lot to worry about (but I have no proof). Best to change your coils before this happens.

That is how they got the data for that other post about carcinogens using coils like that!

Holy Flinkering Snit!

Is that an RDA? Or something that was found in the La Brea Tar Pits after a 4th Grade Class did their yearly Field Trip?
