I have an innokin iTaste v3, with iclear16 coil and wick, using 8 watts power, on 3.5volts on a 1.5ohm coil
I keep finding that after a days heavy use of non-stop vaping, the coil keeps getting gunked up, and the efficiency is nowhere near as good as when I started using it. I have to suck really hard about five seconds (in a number of bursts) before I get anywhere near enough vapour to satisfy me.
I tried replacing the coil and wick, but that's pretty expensive if I'm gonna do it every day (two pounds sterling each time). I also tried cleaning the clearomiser out and dry burning the coil. But that seems to take a long time before the smoke clears, and it has limited results.
I figure that what is causing the problem is the coil is getting too hot, and the juice is burning on it. I am using tab-lites menthol e-liquid because I heard that sweet juices like cherry can cause problems. If I switch to a flavourless high nicotine liquid will that help? It will significantly reduce my enjoyment though!
If I use a bigger coil, which will have a lower surface temperature for the same power; will that help?
Will I have to buy a much more expensive PV, if I am going to continue non-stop vaping! if so what are my options? will I have to buy one with a rebuildable coil, to reduce my running costs. I could really do without the hassle though!
does sucking really hard for a number of seconds reduce the lifetime of the coil?
Okay, I've asked quite a few questions! better stop there. Let me hear your opinion.
