Just checked my juice on the website I order. It is 70vg. so it should have worked ok since I was really being gentle with the coil.

Ya ...... , this is what I don't like about mech mods, no gradual start @ a lower watt and then bump it up after 5 - 6 pulls for new heads, especially ones with that small of juiceflow holes ..........
Another thread started today same story, may be bad coils ...........

Probably at least 70vg.

Hint of advice. Know, not assume, what you are Vaping.
At least 70vg might be 90vg............if you don't know.

A Few fun facts about VG.
Not all VG is the same. Aquios VG is a thinned VG(distilled water added) which flows and wicks better. Pure Vg is like syrup so the higher the content the thicker the mix.
VG is highly effected by Temperature. In a Cool Room, a Cool Tank may not wick right away. Short Vapes - Recognizing dry/hot vape, will save a coil and get the tank warmed to proper function.

*Max VG and High VG mixes that are NOT Aquios VG may not work well in Many Coil Head Tanks due to slow transfer.
Most Vendors do not indicate which form of VG they are using.

Save money, replace your liquid......................and always Prime your coil heads.
Flooding can be cleared, Burnt is burnt.

So I'm thinking that when I get my new coils maybe adding some pg, or water to thin it out? I did find out that my juice is 70vg. Adding pg will probably take away from the flavor, but don't want to risk burning through so many coils. I've never added water before and didn't think it was safe to do since it's inhaled into the lungs?

@crxess I ordered some 1.0 and 1.5 coils for it. Do you think those will work better for 70vg juice? I really do like the device, it's cute and compact. If the watts adjust to the coil I should be ok you think?

The 1.0 will actually be a little slower to wick because of the lower wattage, not to say it will wick too slow it just means it wont gulp the juice as fast and a cooler vape, I personally have not used the device so I can't comment on juice viscosity ability but a very reliable source matt say's he has no problems with 70vg with the .6

You are not alone -- I am having the exact same problem. Also primed the coil well, let the coil sit in the tank filled with juice for a while. The first few drags were really good. After that just bad burnt taste. Switched to a different liquid, the same burnt taste. My liquid was 80% PG.

I think the coil is the same as used in Cubis tank and I have no problems there. However, I use the Cubis with a mod that is adjustable and I have it on relatively low wattage. It could be that AIO is just pulling way too much power for the coil. Not sure how to resolve this -- long time ago Joyetech Ego batteries used to have voltage control and this AIO would benefit from having that too. I have a pack of coils from a different store so will try if it was just problem with the coils that came with the device, but I doubt it.

Weird thing is that the reviewers on youtube didn't have this problem, so I am not sure what is going on.

Perhaps we got some bad coils or something. I have since been using it with 1.5 Clapton coils and it's working fine now. Have some SS 1.0 coils coming this week. I think it was some user error on my part being a Nautilus mini user and hit the AIO the same with air wide open... burnt! I have the air all the way down with the 1.5 coils and now it hits more like my mini.

For sure. I would like a bit more air, but taking it slow until I'm more comfortable with the device.

To me it looked like those pre packaged coils were WAY to packed with cotton and more than likely to tightly packed ...........
I know it sounds like a hassle and intimidating but you may want to "start" to learn how to make your own coils, sooner than later, once you do you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner ..........
