Do you stick with the original ohm coils?

[always9988]

I was planning on buying a pack of higher resistance coils for some of my flavors that just seem to be tasting off with the heat. I can't get a vv yet so this seems to be the way to go to control the amount of heat for certain flavors. Has anyone else tried this and then just gone back to the original coils? Or does it work well enough to buy the separate coils for different juices?

Yes, that is a perfectly good strategy.

Your coil might also be too dry, have you tried removing the "flavor wick" from one of them?

 

[always9988]

They definitely don't get dry, I am so weird. I pretty much vape it almost upside down to keep the top of the wicks wet cus I hate the dry hits. Belgian burns way too easy for me on the original coils and I can't stand that flavor.

I thought about doing the same thing before I splurge on a VV mod, then I found the ego-V battery here for only $15. If it performs well, then I'll probably go look into other mods.

 

[twgbonehead]

Another thing you could try is "pulsing" the fire button, rather than just holding it down steady. (You're basically creating a manual "VV" mod!) But I gather you're using a Top-coil clearomizer (such as an Iclear16 or a CE5?) You might try an EVOD-style head (BCC) instead? I find they stay jucier.

I am using halo Triton. I can't stand bottom coil, I feel like I don't get a hit at all

 

[always9988]

I'm OK with tilting to keep it juicy, my problem mainly lies in the temp for things like Belgian cocoa or my pineapple rum flavor, they get too hot and change colors in the tank, after a while just doesn't taste good anymore

Always, I have ordered the higher resistance coils for this reason too. I should have them Monday so I can try them out. I have the VV Battery and it works great to cool off those flavors but I want to be able to use my shorter 650 batteries too because I have a few flavors that I like cooler than the 2.2 coils. I'll let you know how it works out.

We had a more in depth discussion in the thread "Replacement Coils Help Needed" ........ it is on the second page in the forum. I'd post a link but I don't know how to link a thread.

 

[twgbonehead]

Then definitely try higher-ohm coils. Good luck!

I haven't bothered with them but it would make sense for a cooler vape - the Triton tank can get pretty hot! I have nothing but trouble with bottom coil tanks too - my favorite clearos in all my setups are the good old reliable Tritons. And I love how you can twirl them and literally vape them empty

Let me know if it makes much difference!

I will I can't wait to get them in.......I hope they come tomorrow, I ordered last Monday night. My shipment tracking says "Pre-Shipment Status" so I guess mine may not have made it to Kearny yet. But reality my shipments have always been delivered pretty quick no matter what tracking says.

I never thought about the coils relating to the heat and taste..good thought!

I've used the higher ohm coils for flavors I don't want to get as warm myself, and find they work excellent on a non VV battery... just be sure, since I don't think you have a resistance checker in your arsenal to mark them... (as per Dave's idea, maybe?) I know that stuff like Tribecca does taste different on a higher ohm coil over a lower ohm, so it might not be a happy moment for you if you accidentally loaded up up some 'Becca with the wrong coil....

Or it might be awesome, never know!!!!

I do have an ohm meter just gotta learn how to use it lol. They should come pre etched IMO. But either way my tanks are color coded and I'm .... about organization so I should be OK, if not maybe there will be happy accidents

 

[Evie Luv]

Hmmm what are good ideas for marking them? Will a dot or line drawn with a permanent marker on the condom be okay?

 

[Reverend Brimstone]

I've moved to the higher resistance coils exclusively. On my regular Triton, I don't have issues with cool vape, only hot, so that solves it with the regular bat.

With the vv, I feel comfortable pushing the voltage up with no fear of a burnt taste.

Sharpie won't stay on those condoms I know that, tried to mark the condoms for cartos and wipes right off. I was thinking just a way to scratch the metal in a certain way maybe? Or pull the flavor wick all the way out when soaking so you know the one with only one wick is the higher resistance?

Which ohms do you prefer to use the 2.6 or 3.0?

I'll never tell!






3.0...
