Burning my e juice

[Wonderboy78]

Ok, I'm new to vaping. Started with a bucknaked then stepped up to nautilus with a evic and my juice is still burning. After I threw out my last juice cuz it burnt. New juice is not putting out any vapor which tells me the coil is burnt out. I guess. Did I go over board with the evic mod?
I tried using a lower wattage before but it didn't put out much vapor so I turned it up to my happy setting of about 9 watts.
I think most of my problems is user error. It works fine on my wife's tanks but I'm afraid I'm going to mess up hers also. (Using her tanks on my evic).
My tank don't really work on her batteries either

When I had my Aspire Nautilus, before I moved to RDAs, I had to let the juice soak into the new wicks for about 10 minutes before the flavor and vapor was all there. Do you fill the tank up with a fresh wick and hit it? Or do you wait for it to soak for a bit?

I think I didn't wait long enough. I thought I waited about 10 mins but not sure .

Three things to consider: 1). Make sure you're getting enough air flow. This keeps the vapor moving away from the coil and also keeps the coil from getting too hot and scorching the juice. 2). Some juices don't take heat as well as others. I have a vanilla in particular that tastes like burning rubber if it gets too hot, but my chocolate+peppermint tastes fine if I vape it exactly the same way. 3). Make sure the juice is wicking properly. If you're not getting enough juice to the coil, what's there will start to burn (or ever worse, the wick will start to scorch).

Hope that helps!

pre-made wicks are nortorious for burning. They are made poorly, with 32 gauge wire and silica wicks taste like ..... Go learn about rebuilding and get into it. you'll never look back! and...get yourself some Shiseido cotton for wicking. You'll thank me

Are you sure recommending cotton to someone having this much trouble is a good idea? Vaporized cotton is a horrifying flavor.

It sounds like there may be a problem with your tank. You say hers works fine, and yours won't work on her batteries or yours.

Found out it was burnt. Got some new dual coil replacements, so much better. I primed the coil this time.

Now if my evic wasn't dying everyday.

Try using it in voltage mode only, and just set it to the standard 3.7 volts

All good points. Here's my view:

When you replace the coil, make sure you drip about 3 drops of juice straight into the top of your atomizer before filling the tank and putting it together. I never had to wait so much as a whole minute this way and never burnt an atty in over 3 months.

9 Watts on a 1.8 ohm (average Nautilus atty resistance) equals 5 volts. That's high IMO, translating in shorter atty life but you didn't mention what tank your wife is using as a comparison. Air hole opening, draw and juice composition all come into the equation when you mean vape density, Perhaps a rebuildable would satisfy you better.

9 watts with 1.8ohms is 4v. Not that bad really.

Try slowing down and learning a bit.

Nautilus - BEST Coils are the BVC - Bottom VERTICAL Coils

Evic - As good a China Regulated as any on the market. I own and regularly use (2) that are almost 2 years old now.
When breaking in a new head, drip a few drops of e-liquid through the head to Prime it. Start at a reasonable power setting.
2 volts above the ohms reading is a good close starting point. 1.6ohm coil=3.6v to start. Bump up or down to taste. If it starts tasting burnt, turn it down. Take a couple of un-powered draws and test the new setting.

BVC coils will allow higher power - once broken in.

Good luck

You're right, me was thinking bad shortcut from complicated calculation... bead counter wrong!

JUST CAME TO MIND:

I can't find it a this time, but I clearly remember reading in an Aspire manual that they recommend to run a new coil at somewhere like 3.3 volts for the first 24 hours (going by long-term memory on this, so don't quote me) There could be big truth in there.. Also, keep your PV vertical to let the atty absorb the maximum amount of juice during that same period.

"When all else fails, read the manual" -Unknown source

Sounds like you are using too high a voltage for the coil resistance you have. We recommend no more than 3.8 to 4.0 volts for resistances below 2.0 ohms, for voltages above 4.2 use 3.0 ohm coils. You will need to experiment depending on the e-liquid you are vaping..

What kind of juice is burning? I've been using the Nautilus Mini for about two weeks and sampling a ton of my roommate's e juices. The only one I had a problem with was a vanilla custard that ruined my coil. It burned and everything else tasted like burnt vanilla until I changed the coil.

someone said read the manual well Second time in 2 days so here it is. lol still in my clipboard me=sad though i don't know about voltage/watts setting in the manual. But here the aspire

I guess the lower voltage break-in time was only for regular Aspire tanks... Then again, I have stopped going for low break-in voltages even for those and so far no problems.
