I got the combo about 2months ago and everything has been going smoothly. Although I had to change the coil once already, but recently it started burning my throat, I have the watt set at 5.0w which is the least it can be on, never more because it always taste burnt. Anyone know how can put the eleaf to its full potential the full 20w? My coil is a 1.8ohm. and why does it all of a sudden burn my throat I just put in a new coil about 2 weeks ago

never owned a genitank. looking at it specs, i dont see why it shouldnt beable to hit atleast 15W without burning.


the only thing i can think of, is your juice it too thick(heavy in VG) and it is wicking very slowly to the coil, or possibly the juice you have is so high in MG that it feels like its burning - now that you can "crank" the tank up and possibly vaporize juice more efficiently. or ven just a worst case scenario, you have a dud coil head.


vaping habits also effect the lifespan of coils - i.e. taking small burst puffs rather than long slow drags - small bursts gunk up coils faster due to unproper heating of the juice on the coil, causing juice to caramelize and cake to the coil rather than it heating up and fully vaporizing.

my juice is 40% vg and 60% pg and I only use 6mg nicotine. any other suggestions to fix this problem?
 
I have the exact setup and the exact problems. SOLVED by getting an GS AIR Tank. The gs air tank is made by leaf and made for t h e istick. I had t h e set up for about a week and it is great. I can go up to 19 watts with no burning at all. I ordered it from sweet values for $9.50+3.00 shipping. The best order I ever p l aced. I have been vaping for 2 years and this is t he best set. I had 2 members recommend it so I tried it. Best buy ever.
