CLR coils longetivity.

[Limeybastard]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I'm not getting more than a days usage on the clr without the cotton burning out. Using 70/30 juice at approx 12W .

I watched some YouTube videos and they showed that there is some juice flow control on the coil. Am I supposed to be adusting that before using it? Looks like they are set at Max flow control out of the box I think.

Thanks

Could it be hot spots on your coil?

Hi,
Which CL-R coils are you using? .5/1.0/Ti?
Have you recoiled them and are having this issue or are the coils "pack" fresh?
Fresh CL-R's, the wife gets about 2 days, before I replace the wick with Rayon.
I've taken to re wicking NEW CL-Rs as a matter of course. IMO the factory wicking is horrible.

ETA: I have removed the bottom "ring" under the wick on a few CL-R bodies.
Since I tend to pack the rayon in the coil, the extra room might help. Anecdotally, I see little to no difference.

Hi, I'm using the 1 ohm out of the box, I have not yet attempted to rewick them.

I have found the 1.0 clr cols to be long lasting. I think the 0.5 if you have those, must be used in TC mode? Vaping one in wattage mode could cause coil life to suck (and I mention it for safety, I think it's titanium, so you really don't want to vape that in wattage mode).

The 1.0 coils, I get at least a week often more, with a new coil. I rewick mine with rayon, so then they last much longer. They're a good coil. However, some juices just KILL coils, so I would also look at if your juice is dark, sweet, or gunky, you'd be surprised how quickly the wrong juice can kill a coil. Clear, less sweet and less gunky juices tend to produce better coil life. I'm going to just go ahead and assume you are priming them correctly (although it's not a terribly hard coil to prime, anyway).

Best of luck, more info would probably be helpful.

The 1 ohm out of the box probably has some pretty tight cotton. Not difficult to hit it for too long and have the wick start scorching, rayon or rewicking will help a little bit.

I think I ended up adjusting the wattage +/- and taking shorter gentle MTL puffs. Also giving a few seconds for the juice to flow in between hits. HTH

Have you tried loosing the wick control ring on the CLR coil, unscrew it a a thread or two. They do pack the cotton into them. Easy to rewick or even recoil so you can rewick just don't pack it too tight like the factory does

Ok, now I think I need to some education here if you wouldn't mind helping me.

You mentioned that the CLR 1 ohm needs to be used in temp control mode?

I always just prime them and use them in wattage mode. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Am I perhaps doing it all wrong thus far? Even with my other coils - aspire Atlantis 0.5 ohm, Kanger tech 0.5 ohm coil , I soley use wattage mode on all my tanks and coils.

I tried to get two old coils that lasted one day, I couldn't adjust that center ring at all. But I did look the cotton and coil in both were burned out and black .

By default, does one have to make an adjustment to the flown control of the CLR atomizer prior to install? They won't turn. Tried it with a new one also just now.

Hi,
I don't think so. The CL version is completely non adjustable so I presume the CL-R is GTG out of the box. (with the caveat that the factory cotton is VERY tightly packed and suffers from low wicking with high VG mixes.)
The CL-R Ti has a red o-ring and should be used in TC mode only.
If you have a black O-ring, at 1Ω or .5Ω, Power/Watts/bypass mode is/are correct.

Cheers

You sure they aren't CL coils. The CLR is the rebuildable one and has a juice flow ring on the bottom and the wick hole is square with small cotton tails sticking out of it. CL coils have a small round hole on the sides and no parts that can be unscrewed.

CLR is a much better coil than the CL.

The Pro CL SS coil fits the same tanks as the the CL or CLR coils and is a much better throw away coil than the regular CL Coils. It works well with TC too.

Yes, thanks. It's the black banded CLR ones I have.
