Bought the wrong coils...

[Simonz6]

So, i've got an iStick Pico 25 with an classic ello tank.
I bought HW-M coils and when i smoke it they feel burned, so i did a little searching and i realised i might bought the wrong coils.

What clearomizer should i buy to fix this problem?

If you're smoking it, it probably does taste burned.

First off don’t smoke, smoking kills. Now that is outta the way, turn down the power, prime the coils really well, open up the airflow may help a tiny bit. I have the Ello Vate tank and I enjoy the coils you have. I vape them at around 40-45 watts with 50/50 juice. Which reminds me if you are using max vg or high vg juice maybe you are having wicking issues. You could dilute a bit with pg or distilled water to thin and help speed up wicking if you are using high vg juice. That’s all I can think of, I hope it helps and good luck getting a proper vape.

No, you bought the right coils. According to this page, the HW-M are suitable for Ello tanks. Those HW-M coils have a slightly different design (tapered sides) than the regular HW coils (straight sides) that come with your Pico 25/Ello but kit they're supposed to work all the same.

You problem is most likely that you didn't prime them enough. I saturate all my coils with ejuice before I close and fill the tank. I mean saturate. Then I start them off at a really low wattage and work my way up little by little.

If that isn't the problem, then you may have gotten defective coils.

And in case you are interested in turning your Ello tank effectively into an RTA (you build your own coils, please see my post here. This way, you can buy multiple RBAs, coil and wick them up ahead of time and carry them around with you in a baggie or whatever - just like you'd carry around factory coils. Saves you a lot of money. But that's assuming you are interested in single coil builds. Otherwise, not a good option.

I agree with what others have said... just want to add one thing. Don't buy coils from e-bay (did that once... lesson learned) After you prime them and fill the tank, wait at least 10 minutes before vaping. Might also try doing "primer puffs" in between vapes (just draw air without hitting the fire button) Check the airflow (as mentioned) the coil needs air to stay cool. Short draws with a break between each draw helps. If wattage is adjustable start with lower wattage first then slowly increase (also mentioned but worth repeating)
