going thru coils in two days

[Joie]

using Protank replacement coils in my EVOD and seems they only last a day or two and then lose flavor. I use 80/20 pg/VG and have ego twists.......what's up ?

I seem to be going through lots of heads too. More than with cartos or the disposable clearos. The coils seemed to gunk up faster. I vape gunky juices.

That should not be the case the only way I think it would be possible to go through a coil that fast would be switching flavors several times each day and that would give you the burn muck flavor not lack of flavor.

Have you tried pulling the post off that sits ontop of the coil .. the piece with the little plastic piece on it then taking off one of the wicks that lay ontop of the coil then putting the rest of the wicks back laying across the coil and putting the post back on to allow better juice flow?

Have you tried cleaning and dryburning them? Here is a link if you don't know how. Make a world of difference! Even though this is an evod the process is exactly the same,

will try cleaning.....no change in flavor....single flavor only and have rinsed in hot water after second tank fill.....just loses flavor.

Could be you getting used to the flavor, brush your teeth, use some mouthwash, drink some coke or eat something spicy ... all will clear your pallet. Give it a try

ha...will do but that's my regular routine all day anyway !!!!

If I was going through coils in 2 days I would try some new devices.

I find the same thing happens to me also!

Odd im on like week 2 of this coil and have had 3 or 4 flavors through it and still has all its flavor. I made the coil myself idk if that makes a difference in how long they last as I never use the premade coils lol. But I would imagine it should be close to the same

I just tried this and it did help. But even after soaking my EVOD in denture cleaner I can still taste plastic. I think it's from the tip, it has nothing to do with the coils. Thanks for the advice!!

well at least I am not alone....
as everything else with vaping there are something's that work perfect for some and a trial and err for others.

thanks for replying.

You said that you rinsed it in water.... Did you vape right after with a "water wet" wick or did you let it dry first? Water wil... water down your vape.

I use 80/20 juice too. I use the Evod tanks with Evod batteries and I clean my atomizer in a small bottle of Bacardi Vodka and it leaves them nice and clean, almost new.

I switch coils every 3 days and leave the ones in the vodka for 3 days and just shake em a little bit, then dry fire em for about 5 clicks of about 5 seconds.

I've been using about 4 coils in 6 weeks and they all taste and fire like almost new.

With my PT, evod and T3S heads - before 1st use I rinse with hot water. Dry. Then I pull the post and put on a battery. I check to make sure all the coils are heating up. Many times the coil wraps aren't all heating up because they're touching each other or side. I gently separate with a push pin. Then they all heat, good to go. Fill the tank. They last several weeks with regular rinsing and occasional dry burns. I've found that flavor/taste drop means all wraps aren't heating, need cleaning & dry burn OR time to replace. I hope this helps

 

[Joie]

thanks will take in and try that.....anything is better than going thru these.
No I won't Vape a wet setup....always try for a day or so.

That's exactly what I do. Plus I check the resistance of the attys with a voltmeter after cleaning and drying. I can usually make heads last a few weeks, but I do have at least 5 devices going throughout the day

just ordered some wicking material. I don't think the cleaning gets all the gunk off the first set of wicks....I dry burn and the coil wrap looks good but the flavor wicks still look dirty and fall apart. Maybe this will help too. anything to make them last longer will be good..
