Hi all, just registered to ask this question.

I have bought an electric cigarette in a store, and studied a little about whats inside of it, currently I have a Foof battery and some kind of vaporizer, which simply looked nice for me.

First time I bought the vaporizer part, it was all ok - smoking 12mg different e-liquids and the air flow was perfect - I could drag the smoke into my mouth with a slow enough speed, so the coil has some time to vaporize the liquid, and I dont have to drag overly hard.

Now my coil burned and I bought a new one, same ohms (1.8), but something strange is going on, and I couldnt find the answer anywhere on the internet.

I put the new coil (I didnt know about priming coils when I put it on), and just let it soak the liquid for about 20 minutes. Strangely - when I drag, the air flow is way too big, I get 0 crackling sound when vaping, and the air just goes into my mouth too fast, and barely any smoke is generated, it was a dry hit.

I read up about dry hits, and tried poking the 4 holes around coil with a needle, to let the coal soak up easier. Guess what, I got alot more of smoke, and the dry hit is not there anymore... almost. It's still there just a little, and the air flow is still too big, I just cant get the right speed to drag it, its annoying.

Also tried to see if I have some air leaks. I closed the 2 holes on the sides with my fingers and tried dragging just a little to not flood the coil, just to see. No air leaks noticable.

I am waiting for replies such as "Check if your battery is loaded", well, I loaded it fully, so that shouldn't be the problem. Had no issues with the battery before, it can vape an entire day with one load.

Thank you alot, waiting for replies. :)

Yes, tank info would help a lot.
Where you covered the air holes with your fingers is there a ring that spins to make the holes bigger/smaller or open/less open? I think you may have turned the ring that controls the amount of air that comes in to the tank. Adjust this ring, AFC, to a smaller air hole, less open hole, and I think you'll be back to happy.

Here are some pictures. I don't have any air flow regulation on this coil.
Coil is 1.8 Ohms (Aspire BVC 4.2-5.0 V)

Also, one thing I noticed. I loaded my battery fully and for some reason when I first pressed the button, it blinked about 5 times, and I cannot really tell wether its charged or not because of the strange behaviour of the coil. I will load it again though see if anything changes.
