i had gotten a crown tank maybe about a two months ago. This past week I bought a new eliquid by beard that is a salted caramel, which I really like. It is 70/30 which is the same ratio as most of the juice I vape. Whenever I try to vape it it seems to burn my coil within 1-2 days???? I always prime the wick really well and let it sit for a good while. Start at a lower wattage and work up (was staring around 25w but after this happened twice decreased to starting at 10w)around I haven't found this to happen with any other juices. I use the 0.5 ohm coils on a fuchai 200w tc device had been using on an eleaf 100w. Any other advice? Or is it the juice? I will be bummed if it is the juice cause it is yummy for about a day until the coil is burnt to oblivion

Thick juices with sucralose kills coils. If you want to keep using that juice you'll have to use a RTA so you can change the wick a lot and dry burn the coil every few days to clean off all the crud.
Had a feeling that was the best solution. I was considering that as an option, I tend to like sweeter, Cakey types of vapes. Don't know the first thing about building. Is there anything you would recommend for a beginner builder?

My first rebuildable tank was a Kayfun Lite Plus. What Makes the Kayfun so Great?
A single-coil tank which is easy to set up and works best with a coil resistance around 1.5 ohm. There are later versions of the Kayfun, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are "better". You can pick up a nice clone KFL+ for around $20 at Fast Tech. (Original KFL+ was $120 a couple of years ago)
