Coil Change

[KenyonTheElite]

With the itaste vv v3, how do I know when I need to change my coil?

When it is not performing as well or you get an off taste

Major decrease in vapor, terrible taste even when primed or it burns your throat on inhale all of the time

I noticed my throat is burning really bad now on every inhale, I turned my mvp down from 11 watts to 7 watts and I still notice it ... Guess it's time to change the coil

How long have you been using that coil?

How long have you been using that coil?

I have been using it for about 14 days, with the last 10 with the exact same liquid so it's not like I went up in nicotine or switched flavours. I still have decent vape but the taste is horrible and my ohm's on the coil still read 1.8. It burns all the way down and I drink about 500ml of water an hour.

Two weeks without a clean is pretty good really. Most coils you can rinse under hot water, soak in pure grain alcohol (like vodka or everclear) or do a dry burn to clean them (some coils cannot be dry-burned because you will burn the filler or wicks) - or any combination of the above. You tube has thousands of videos about coil cleaning and general maintenance just type in your clearo name and search.

When I used clearos I found a quick hot water rinse every 2-4 refills and a dry burn every week kept them working very well. I could get more than a month out of most heads and even 6-7 weeks sometimes.

If you can't be bothered cleaning them, just pop in a new coil and away you go again.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea I was able to do that to extend the length of the coil via some cleaning. I have the nautilus mini so off to youtube I go!

Yeah, I use 5ml PBC tanks. I clean my coil every 3 days or so. I get 2-4 weeks out of 1 coil.

I cleaned mine last night in water and then vodka and it seems alot better today but there is still a tad of throat burn and my device is reading 2.0 ohm instead of 1.8 ohm. Still it's alot better but for $3, I think I am just gonna throw this coil out and clean it every 2-3 days and see if that works better as the taste is pretty muted now as well.
