Cleito coils

[angie124]

the 2 coils that came with the tank the flavour was amazing.
Replacement coils don't seem as good. I've tried a box and single 0.4 coils from different shops and maybe 1 out of 5 are good
The coil I'm using at the moment has tons of vapour but very little flavour sometimes nothing. It's not vapers tongue as I'm using a nautilus as well and I'm getting more flavour from that So annoying wasting expensive liquid that I can't taste. Anyone else having this Problem or no how to get the flavour back.

Did you prime the heads properly before use?
Did you zap the new head(s) with the power you usually use or start off at a lower power setting to allow them to 'break in' and to ensure they are wicking well, then slowly work back up to your usual power setting?
If not most likely you scorched / burned the wicking material.

Do you see bubbles rise from the wicking slots indicating the head is wicking?

Are you using the .4Ω yellowish o ring or the .4Ω ss316L black o ring heads?

Authentic Aspire heads or knockoff/clone?

It's the yellow o ring coils. I did prime properly. A drop of juice on each slot and a couple down the chimney. Leave to soak 30 mins and start of at 36w slowly up to 45w. The taste was of cotton to start with but I know that's common with breaking it in. Now it's just very little flavour not burnt taste. It's the same juice I always use which in the first 2 coils was amazing.
I do get a problem with vacuum in the tank so i have the top on not to tight and unscrew every couple of pulls to let the air bubbles out and re-wick.
I think im doing everything right. So that's why I think it's the coils.

Authentic Aspire heads verified via entering the scratch off code on the box into the authentication checker on aspires site?

You shouldn't need to burp the tank to get it to wick, it relies on negative pressure to feed the wicking material. When you open the top or leave it loose the pressure is lost.

I'd suggest keep priming until the wicking material is fully saturated, may take 5 - 10 drops on each slot.

To me, it sounds like you are scorching the wicking material surrounding / in contact with the coil.
Scorching greatly reduces wicking ability which causes no or few bubbles to rise from the wicking slots like they should. Also creates the need to burp the tank to get it to wick and reduces flavor usually without giving a burnt taste.
When I used a clieto I started new heads as low as they would produce any vapor & slowly work up.
Starting at 36w with an insufficiency primed head seems high.

Yea they are authentic coils. Maybe I should try not to keep burping it and see if the flavour comes back. I will also try the way you suggested with priming. Just that the ones that came with the tank I had amazing flavour and a few I've bought since have been great but most not. Ty for advice

When the flavor goes away you can try a few un powered primer puffs, you'll have to experiment with how many & how strong, it is an easy way to flood a head. You should see bubbles rise.

I used a clieto for a while, everything you've said I experienced, leads me to think scorched wicking material.
Prime thoroughly, start off at a power that barely produces any vapor, slowly increase power, usually took me a full tank to get a new head working satisfactorily & most times 2 full tanks to get back to the power I used with the previous head.

I read on other sites about burping every few pulls do you think like you said negative pressure hasn't helped. Also was told to make 3 holes with a pin in one of the side slots will help with flavour. The vapour is really good just flavour. I will try what you have suggested. Thank you very much for your help
