Can't get this to work, looking at videos on YouTube and some say to get a washer to place in the mod others say use a paper clip to clean out the stuff from around the atomizer. It's about 4 months old, bought February from gypsy vapes, just sent a email to eleaf and will see what they say.

This is a entry level of, only costed me 58 for both and works good for my needs. I really don't wanna have to upgrade but it may be the case.

How is eleaf able to get away with this? I see it happens quite often with eleaf mods.

Around here the cash you paid for your set could not buy even 6 packs of smokes. 4 months service ain't bad imo.
The coil should be changed every 2 weeks give or take a week or 2.
You have been very fortunate to use 2 coils for over 4 months.

Get a new pack of coils man!!!
Cheers.

Take your device, tank, and coils with you and go to a vapor store. Ask them what the problem is. I bet it's an issue with the coils, not the mod itself. Ask them to show you how to change out the coil and clean it. Then vape it there in the store, to make sure it's in good working order.

It's possible you have a bad iStick. It can happen, but I have four iSticks that I've used exclusively for months and have never had any problems with them.

I don't get any of this at all. Everything you've said goes against everything you've been told. Why would you need a new mod? You have been using the same two coils for four months! That's way outside a factory produced coils service life. Coils are considered a consumable item and wear out. Factory built coils tend to wear out faster than do-it-yourself ones. Purchase a pack of new coils for your subtank and try them before you do anything. I have two subtanks and two iStick 30 watt mods that are well over a year old. Other than the battery staring to weaken on one of the iSticks everything has worked without issue.

The kangertech sub mini comes with 3 coils, the whole time which is about 3 months I used the same coil, I changed the coil it's still not working.

I'm going to the shop today after work to get it looked at but if it's not working I will get something higher.

If replacing the coils doesn't fix your mod, get a new mod, but don't operate on the assumption that more power automatically means a better mod. There are good mods with low power and bad mods with low power. There are bad mods with a lot of power and good mods with a lot of power.

I've never used a Coolfire4, but I've heard great things about them. I think the Coolfire4 is a good mod, but no mod will continue working properly if you don't take care of it. Using the same coil for four months is not taking good care of your mod. Whatever you decide to do, take your entire vape gear into the shop with you. Ask them to explain to you how to care for and maintain it properly. Let them show you and what safety measures you should observe with it. Then make sure you take care of your mods properly.

okay, I went to vapor shark and was told my mod and tank are fake, I bought it from gypsyvapes

I got a eleaf istick 2 for a few bucks and it's better than my i30 and kangertech mini sub tank.

He showed me a side by comparison of his i30w and kangertech mini and mine and it's a difference that's easy to see.

I don't feel bad because it was my first kit and I'm grateful it lasted me 3 months lol

Also it was the box that was bad, the tank is fine so I have a backup tank here just in case.
