Never buy coils from Amazon or EBAY, IMO. Why did you dump the juice, can't you just unscrew the bottom and dump whats left back in the bottle? After prime coils do you wait 10+ mins as well? I used to prime them by putting a couple drops in each opening, go around twice then wait awhile. They are huge with a ton of packed cotton, take awhile to get soaked.

I did leave some of them all night to soak must have been a dodgy batch. I am going to invest in a syringe as well to make sure I can empty the tanks in future if the need be. Thanks for the reply.

I am truly sorry your experience with the endura didn't work out for you. Innokin is known for being a very good brand that pays a lot of attention to safety and user friendliness. The endura kit was designed with the smoker in mind and their attention to detail really speaks to me, even though I am a Kanger fangirl.

Now....let's just man up, stop blaming your going back to smoking on your ecig and see if we can fix your problem. I assume you chose Amazon to save a few bucks, yes? How about you find a legit Innokin reseller to buy your coils from? I am sure someone can give you a couple of links to online USa-based vapeshops. Or, go to Fasttech and order 'authentic' endura (or prism-) coils if you must save some bucks and have patience to wait a couple of weeks. Those are as promised the real Innokin coils.
Just give that tank another chance, because the flavour is much better than I've experienced for a long time in these types of tanks (the non-rebuildable type I mean).
Deal?

To be fair it was a really good smoke when it did work (very close to cigs) and very good build quality wise. Battery a bit up and down ,but I couldn't knock it generally. I only use amazon for the quick delivery no other reason, and local vape shops told me they didn't stock innokin products. I spend a lot of time working and with the kids so don't get a chance to venture into the city for a real good shop about. Internet shopping is just to save time really. I am well aware of the fakes online having been conned for some Gillette razors a few years ago, but thought this market would be safe (you live and learn).

I have ordered the mini Nautilus so will give that a try then if not maybe the T22 could be tried out. If I don't like it I know a few friends who might appreciate it anyway.

Thanks for your time/reply. Glad I stumbled across this forum.

You sound a good egg @Devlin121

Local vape shops that don't sell Innokin are possibly not worth using because despite your experience they are a great brand. In my second/alternative home area, all the shops sell Innokin. They are cheaper and better i.m.o. than the rather tiresome Joyetech mafia (Totally Wicked) which seems to have taken hold in some places.

If you ever need anything, be sure to ask, maybe my box of spares (a.k.a the 'skip') can throw up some useful items.

In the summer, there will be Vapefest and that usually has free/useful items if you know who to ask.

Hi
After xmas I decided to chuck the roll ups and try vaping. I purchased a endura t18 and in my excitement didn't prime the first coil and it didn't work. After some youtube research I got it right with the 2nd coil and vaped happily for 3 weeks. Then the coil wore out so ordered a set from amazon prime it tasted foul. I went back and read the feedback turned out they where fakes. So I located an ebay seller who said he sold the real deal. First one worked a treat another 2 weeks of happy vaping. The next 4 where like burnt cotton and same story with a whole new box of 5.
Total cash wasted so far
£25 Pen
£25 eliquid 50/50
£16 coils
The thing has now been thrown in the bin where it belongs. What I need from you guys is some advice on a reliable vape that I can take out in the car/pubs etc.
- Portability is a must
- No cotton wicks
- Advice on correct juice your recommendation please, my fav flavours are Apple or Banana.
- Something not to over the top feature wise. I just want to fill up and smoke. I am not worried about sending smoke signals to the moon. Just want a nice clean smoke.
- Not concerned about price
I really hope someone can help me out. As I am now back on the cigs as a result of this poor quality device.
God bless ! Dev
Welcome and glad you joined. Might consider a Eleaf Istick 30 or 40TC with a RDA. With RDA's they are simple and cost effective. Could check out You tube instructions on "RDA" etc..
As to portability, I add a slip ring (wide rubber band) to slide over the air holes and a cork plug for the drip tip -- no leakage. I also buy only deep well RDA's (Magma, Origen V1 & V3 etc.) which hold a mil or more of juice and last me 45 min. to an hour or more before refilling.
I use Rayon wicks.
Juice choice is subjective. Should not pose a problem.
Just want a nice clean smoke. Ohm's selection between 1.5ohm's to 2.3 ohm;s work for me.
Cost: dirt cheap initial layout and cheaper still on going.

    I think you got fake coils don't own a t18 but haven't heard many problems with them and I think I would have. People on efc are real good about letting everyone know about bad products. Don't buy vape products off Amazon.
    I agree in general but like ebay there are known good places. And Amazon will fight for you if there's a problem. Some regular shops that we use here are on there. Using prime with one or two days free shipping is nice. I received a mod from the East Coast in two days.

    I once ordered from Discount Vapors in New England, and it shipped from Fla. and spent three days just in that state bouncing around.

    I've been using the arctic tank and factory coils for over a year and a half and so far never had a bad coil. I would suggest you buy your coils from a shop so at least you can take them back. I vape menthol no other flavours and get a good six weeks out of them . Maybe you should try an Arctic v1 by horizon tech. Good luck.
