5 Weeks! Wow...i can't believe the life folks are getting out of these coils!

They really blow me away after my past experiences with Kanger and vivi nova coils. Those you were constantly dry burning and rebuilding all the time. These go so long that there is never any hurry to rebuild a batch. (Unless you're Cheech! :D )

Good afternoon everyone! :)
All of mine came from Sweet Vapes, I believe. They all had the same adult proof blister packing that I had to use scissors to open them and they've all been hit or miss for me so far. Over all so far, I think I bought around 7 packs. I'm down to almost 3 unopened packs and the 3 came from 'next door'.
So glad to hear that someone else finds it as difficult to penetrate those damn blister packs as I do! What is WITH that???? :confused:

That probably is partially due to the light juices I vape. But yeah, these things are really cost effective.
My ADV is very light - almost completely clear and I have never had a coil go for 5 weeks. I mean I probably could have, but I can tell the quality starts to taper off at a certain point and I have to swap it out.

If you can open them with your fingers, never mind. I think it's impossible, so I didn't even try. Got the scissors out.:lol:

A little trick I learned is that if you peel back the plastic from the top of one of them and leave it in place, it will continue into the next one. Not sure if that makes sense. o_O

I'm doing an experiment with juices and the effects on coils. I always clean my tanks on Sunday's and put new coils in them. A week ago this past Sunday, I washed my tanks as usual(I washed the tanks this past Sunday but left the coils in the bases). So I put nicoticket in one tank and Ahlusion in the other. I'm still using the coil with the Ahlusion liquid but only got 4 days on the NT coil. With the nt coil, the flavor started tasting nasty, the ohms went up and vapor production went down. The wrapped material is black. I can only imagine what the wick and coil look like. On the Ahl coil, the wrapping material has turned gray but flavor and vapor production is still good and the ohms are still the same.

Well, start the first one with scissors and then peel back towards the next one... You get a nice long piece of plastic by the time you get to the last coil.

I have only tried one juice from NT - The Virus - and I did not like it. Too thick, first of all. Secondly, it just wasn't pleasing to my palate.

Rebuilt or stock coils?

Hi O Linda! I had one last about four weeks before entropy set in, but I agree with you... so nice to enjoy vaping without the Kangar Dry Burn drill, and the gurgles, and the flooding, and the cruddy taste...

Exactly! And it always seemed to happen when I was out and about and couldn't do anything about it.

What happened with that 5 week coil is that at 4 weeks it started tasting and vaping a bit weaker. At the time, I was trying out a Kanger Kbox I just boought, so I did an experiment. Normally, I vape the stock coils at 8 watts. So I bumped it up to the next setting, which is 13 watts, and suddenly it was vaping just like it did new. And it continued to vape well for another week. So unless one just starts tasting bad, I'm going to try that again with the next coil when it starts to go and see if it goes longer.
