i recently purchased the GeekVape Aegis Solo, which I love. It came with the Cerberus tank and I’ve had nothing but problems with the coils. I ordered a 5 pack and 2 out of the 5 had the bottom part that fits in the base break off before I could put them in. Two burned out immediately and the 5th only lasted 2 days. This is getting expensive. Is GeekVape known for coil problems or should I not order from eightvape anymore? Does anyone have experience with these coils?

"break off" `!!?!? can you show us an image of that? or did the o-ring just come of and release the lower part of the coil? if so, you can just stick them back together again - it's how they're assembled.
"Two burned out immediately and the 5th only lasted 2 days".. either you fell victim to the ....tiest production batch known to men, or you're doing something wrong.
Will you take us through the progress of installing and using your coils, step by step, so we can see if you're doing it right?

I take the tank apart remove the coil, clean and dry everything, install the new coil, put everything back together, fill the tank, leave it sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then turn it on and start vaping at 25 watts increasing by 5 watts at a time until I get up to 40, which is the top recommended for these coils.
Ah! Good news and bad news.
Good news: It didn’t actually break, you just pulled the bottom plug out.
Bad news: the bottom plug holds the negative wire against the insulator. If you look in the hole there will be a wire against the rubber tube. That wire has to stay where it is when you reinsert the plug or the thing won’t work. Also those things should be pretty hard to pull out. If they’re just falling apart there’s a manufacturing problem. Kind of a serious one. My first suspicion is the rubber grommet is too thin.
I am fairly new to vaping so I very well could be doing something wrong.
To be fair I was using a juice that was sickeningly sweet so that’s probably why the one only lasted 2 days.
Ugh. GeekVape probably needs to know at the very least. It also may be why the other ones aren’t working. The plug is the negative connector much like in a light bulb. The threaded bit on the outside is the positive, also very much like a light bulb. The coil wire runs one end down each side of the rubber ring. The rubber ring both holds the wires and keeps them apart. If it’s not holding you may not get a good connection.
The Smok baby beast coils are supposed to be compatible with this tank so maybe I’ll give them a try. They’re rated for higher wattage anyway. Neither GeekVape nor Eightvape (where I ordered them) responds to emails or reviews. I’m on the second pack now and I’m not real optimistic.
They’ve got a rep who posts on the site occasionally. I linked this thread to a geekvape person. Something may or may not happen.
That picture doesn't look right to me.
Shouldn't there be a big black rubber ring between those 2 seperated parts? Where is it?
Here's a high-res video with lots of closeups, so you can get familiar with the baby-beast coils. And you got my sympathies because you really did fall victim to the ....tiest production batch ever heard of ^^

I agree,
OP,
Sorry to hear of your issue.
Did you buy the coils from an actual vendor or from Ebay/Amazon/Instascam/other?
Cheers

So we are the ones with the great questions today! Lol
If my coil came apart like that, I’d question where I bought them, not Geek Vapes QC. When I started vaping, I got some okay Smok coils on EBay, but agree it’s hit or miss over there. Better to go to a reliable source. How’s it going in Espana?
OT:
Kids are out of school and the tourists are thick.
We have 5 cruise ships in port today, the boats puke out about 5000-7000 folks each.
Two nights ago, a rival football (soccer) team, in town for a very important match, was treated to a 3:20 AM fireworks show to disrupt their sleep.
The FM radio plays great music and drinking beer or wine on the beach (topless) is fine if you don't act a fool.
The water is clear and blue and getting warmer and the beaches are clean, but I do miss the waves of the Atlantic.
It hasn't rained much since April and we keep the windows open 24/7 to catch the breeze. (with mosquito screens of course).
It's kind of 1985 here, in a good way.
How is the NYC?
I don't think I have tourist-ed there since the mid nineties. I had a great time that forth of July watching the fireworks from Battery park.
cheers

Well, I wish NY had a 1985 or 1990’s vibe, for sure. We moved out of the City (to one of the 5 Boros) about 15 years ago, rent was OTT. So basically now we never go into the City ever.
The weather here is to die from, though. It’s hot and humid, and I want to move somewhere like Edinburgh at this point. 500 words to describe rain, mist and fog? Great! (I read too much Ian Rankin at one point, and he sells that city really well. lol) We lived in Park Slope in Brooklyn for a while, we loved it. But as usual yuppies or millennials (whatever) moved in, prices went up, and the coolness went down.
That’s funny about the rival footie team. So they lost the match, I take it? LOL Very proactive, on your part.
Sheesh, no rain. I’ve been practically praying for rain here, too. But, even when it has been raining here, the humidity won’t budge!
How’s Mallorca compared to Alicante? We knew some people who moved to Alicante from England.
You’re lucky to have great live radio. My dh decided to buy a shortwave a while back, and some of the stuff was good. But the signal has this weird up and down thing that makes you want Xanax or something. Y no lo tengo ahora mismo!
Nice talking to you!
