Delay when firing

[Luxiere]

I'm using a vaporesso veco and i was getting tons of flavour with 0.5 ohm ceramic coil. I got some new liquids today and switched the coils because the ceramic one looked a little gunked up on the inside. Now i have the 0.4 ohm traditional coil in it but when i fired it up the is no sound at all for 0.5 seconds and after that comes the regular sound i was hearing with 0.5 coil. I also got a lot of popping sounds now which weren't there at all before. So is this just because of the coil or could it be something different. I immediately order some new 0.5 ceramic ones because i get a lot less enjoyment out of it now.

Edit: there is a delay in sound when firing, the mod itself does everything as it should and is firing during those silent 0.5 seconds for as far as i know.

Possibly a longer ramp up time than the coil you had in it before. Popping can either be an efficiently wicked coil or it could be the opposite if you are getting a lot of spit back and juice in your mouth.

There is no spitback so far, it's harsher and hotter than the previous coil though. Can't find anything about ramp up time for these coils. I'm hoping my new coils will arrive tomorrow since i never got a confirmation email which i normally do get. If it turns out it's just the coil and it goes back to how it was with ceramic ones then this tank is by far my favourite sub-ohm tank out there.

Did you try turning the wattage down?

Sometimes i take a whole second or a bit more for anything to happen, and it sounds like it frees itself from a blockadge or something. Not really natural sounding compared to before. It's probably just the coil and ramp up time or along those lines but it sounds pretty iffy.

 

[Luxiere]

I started with the wattage low at the start and it was already happening, there is no difference now either with lower or higher wattages.

Is your juice a different pg/vg ratio than before?

 

[Luxiere]

The current juice is 30/70 PG/VG and the previous was 20/80. Is that enough for such a difference? Doesn't seem like it to me.

 

[Luxiere]

Just now i did get some spitback. I guess i'll use it sparingly until i have my new coils because this is worthless

 

[stols001]

Try some of the old juice in it? To me, sounds like you just prefer the ceramic coils, so I am glad some are on the way, but I'd say a 10% difference in viscosity could account for some of the changes. If you don't have your old juice handy you could purchase some VG and add it to the mix, if it's available near you (lots of places carry it, it should be USP grade).

Good luck,

Anna

Thanks for the help from both of you. I'll try my old juice tomorrow as i still have some. Currently not home anymore so it'll have to wait for now.

I read somewhere that popping can happen because of excess juice on top of the coil away from the wick. So maybe the new head is wicking too fast. If it's oversaturated that might make it take longer to heat up. Just guessing though.

Anyway, prebuilt heads can be variable in quality. You could have just got a bad one.

Hope the Christmas rush doesn't slow down your new heads too much.

Were you using cerami in tc mode?

 

[Luxiere]

I was using both coils in wattage mode. I only use wattage mode basically. Also the christmus rush won't do anything as my country is incredibly tiny, plus it's only the 12th so it'll be fine (i hope). I do think it was a bad coil personally. The ceramic coils had the cotton more exposed and seemed to wick faster than the current one so i doubt that's it but who knows.

If that's the case keep your air flow open and watts low. Might try using a needle to poke holes in the sides of coil where cotton is exposed. It does help the coil wick a bit more efficiently.

Different coil material (metal/diameter) will react differently to ramp up time. New coils tend to pop a little, if it continues it may be an ingredient in the juice like water or a certain flavoring.

 

[vapdivrr]

The .4 coils probably just have a thicker wire in them, thus slower...it's also probably rated for higher wattages and maybe because your keeping wattage lower, it's spitting

There is a marked difference in traditional vs ceramic EUC coils (Vaporesso calls them "cores"). There's more metal in the traditional and it takes more wattage. The ceramic cores are wired with Stainless Steel and are fantastic performers using temperature control.

None of the EUC's should be used much higher than 40 Watts. In fact, for me the limit is about 38 Watts. Vaping them higher just unnecessarily heats the vapor and shortens the life of the coil.

I have the Estoc Mega. Love the tank and the SS ceramics.

Another cool thing about the EUC is that with an adapter sleeve, they'll fit any tank that takes the Atlantis coil.

My airflow is always all the way open, i always keep my wattage either lower (5 watts lower or even less) or at the lowest recommended wattage. Poking holes with a needle sounds like a good idea. This is my first coil (new or not) to pop at all tbh. As far as i know both coils have the same thickness of ss316 wire (i could be wrong though). I have not used either of the EUC coils at even 40 watts. Maximun was 35. I'm trying to react to all posts at once btw which i think i did.
