GV Vision Regular - one coil? Or, WTF did he do this time??

[BonnyC]

My husband was having trouble with his new Vision regular last night. It's about a week old and it started getting the muted flavor, gunked all to heck and back, so on and so forth. You know, the usual. It turned every juice that went into it black, even if the juice was light. Now, I know that this happens sometimes and it's no big deal, but this was consistent. He cleaned it, dry burned it and tried using it again but it was still making the juice black and you just couldn't taste it.

Naturally, I took over. Looking at it, the wicks still weren't completely cleaned out. It had snickerdoodle in it at one point, for what it's worth. I know that's a dark juice and it can get things really dirty. I soaked it overnight and finished cleaning it this morning. The wicks look mostly clean and I've determined that he's managed to burn them a bit at the top which is why I can't get that part white again. Come to find out, he's been burning in bursts of 5 seconds even after the coils start to glow Now he knows better, but I'm the vaping "expert" in this house.

Blah blah blah. Sorry, I talk too much. Well, I went to dry burn it and figured it wouldn't need much. It didn't, the coil (singular) started glowing right away. I kept on in little bursts but no other coils started to glow. Just one in the center.

What's going on here? Can just a few of the wires go out (I don't know what the technical term is) and only one be functional? Is this thing ruined? Should I put him in vaping school? I can totally rock the school teacher look

Ummm, can I enroll in this class. I have a thing for hot lookin school teachers

 

[BonnyC]

Lmao, it's more like private tutoring and I don't think he'd share

are any of the coils touching? it might be a short, try spacing them out with a pin. ive had coils get so gunked up before that the carbon buildup between the coils actually caused a short

Be careful testing the vision. If I'm not mistaken a shorted coil reduces the resistance and its not good for a battery.

If the out side coil ends are touching the sides they won't get red move them in with a pin so there not touching the sides I had 2 do that and it fixed them

Alright, thanks. It doesn't look like they're touching, it looks like just one coil ring. I can't tell if it's pushed to the sides, it's all black there. I'll go ahead and take the tube off to get a better look today, I just didn't want it to be spinning around when trying to screw the cart on the battery and I only have super glue to reattach it securely.
