Aww c'mon, quit tryin ta scare da kid.
Just be careful--the .5Ω CLRs are, obviously, sub-ohm coils, so you'll have to give them at least 20 W of power or they won't perform well. And brace yourself--it's a much more aggressive vape.
Whatever carp da factory wicks 'em wit kin barely handle 20w fer long. Gonna hafta stuff sumthin better in it before ya go cranking it up!Edit: Oh maybe if'n I had jooce in the tank it would help too!

Yeah, the raising of the pin saved me a couple of times. Luckily, I only had that problem on one of my mods. iirc every time I changed the coil on that mod, I had to do this. I think it was because when the top was screwed back on it pushed it back down. So long ago now, I don't remember which one it was. LOLRIght. Those are the exact opposite of insulators.
In the very old days, we had to either pull the positive pin out a hair (risky procedure) or use a staple mod.
Staple Mod - Filling The Center Conductor Gap On Penstyle Atomizers
That was fun.
Now the 510 connection on most mods is usually spring loaded, so the electrical connectivity problems are rare, but they still do happen. For those times, I use my trusty Madvapes circuit boards.
Before today, I don't remember much discussion about that Circuit board spacer. Probably because I had found a solution and stopped looking.
Thanks for the post.
Right. Most non-spring-loaded mods had this problem, at least occasionally. And we all made it worse by trying to over tighten the atty to make the connection.
Vicious cycle.

lol... I found this out the hard way! I burned the wick on my first CLR coil running at 22W because I always ran the CL's at 25W or so. That's why I popped on here to ask about that.
D'oh! Live and learn.
I was wondering that also. I don't think I ran my CLR coils that high. It would be too hot for me.
Which ones? There are two kinds of CLR coils--1Ω and .5Ω. They require very different amounts of power. The 1Ω ones work best somewhere between 8 and 15 watts (in my experience and per manufacturers' recommendations). The .5Ω ones--20 watts and up.
don't forget about the difference in orientation between the " CL " & " CLR " - not sure about NR-R-NR
I'm on my first pair of .5s (2 tanks) Think I started around 28w and kept bumping into little scorches and finally settled in right at 20w all day today. Just as I was reading you post I tasted a scorch again and replied. Then looked and saw the tank actually is dry this time. I'm hoping once I do replace the factory stuffin (prolly with rayon) I'll be able to maintain 28-30w.
A few thoughts.
When breaking in a new coil, start at the lowest wattage that works for its resistance (18-20 W for the .5Ω ones) and proceed with caution. Make sure you saturate that cotton wick properly. One of the problems I have with CLRs is that some of their cotton wicks are packed way too tight, thus impeding juice flow through the coil, which is a recipe for scorching. Your coil needs to be fully saturated before you start vaping/increasing wattage and the air- and juice flow need to be set correctly--not enough air or juice will cause burning.
I use both cotton and rayon--prefer cotton myself, but maybe rayon is more forgiving? Just make sure you pack your rayon tightly (it doesn't expand like cotton).

I'm running two 0.5 coils right now at 15.5W in both tanks. Still running into scorching problems but I've been lazy and haven't taken that factory cotton out yet
I have a 1200' roll of Sally's here - I've just been busy (and lazy lol).Okay! I'm going to go right now and change out two new coils and give it a try!

If your cotton is burnt, it's toast. It will always taste burnt, even at 6 watts. You really have to replace it.

The cotton wasn't burn't really, but if I tried to push it even to 16W I could taste the scorching starting.
Now that I've pulled the cotton out of both I can see why! It was packed so tight there was very little liquid getting in. I had a hard time pulling one of them out. No wonder I couldn't get a decent hit.
Wow these are tiny tiny coils - but still easy enough to re-wick.
Well now, this is much better. lol Flavor.... ahhhhhh.

yepper, they really PACK the cotton in those stock ones - very much to tight !
be sure to clips the ENDS very short or it will choke off inside the 'bell cap' inside the tank air flow passage...
enjoy...

I must be the luckiest Egg Roller in town. I've not had an issue with the stock cotton wicks, or the subsequent rayon rewicks.
Have I mentioned........... I LOVE THESE TANKS!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. While I thought I had my ENDS short, I just checked it and clipped just a tad more off. What a difference it made. Like ceecee I am now getting a good vape. Could not figure it out until you posted.
