I have been vaping almost 4 years. For the last year and a half I was happily using the kanger t3s. The coils started lasting only 3 days sometimes less, they had been lasting 1 -2 weeks. Upon recommendation I switched to aspire. Same deal with those coils. So they upgraded to the bvc coil saying they will last 10 days. I am on day two of my first one and it doesn't feel like it will last much longer. I am so frustrated. Any tips on why this is happening would greatly be appreciated. Is there a better same type product?

I'm going to go ahead and second the RBA thing. You know vape the juice you want to vape, but honestly rebuildable tanks or atties are definitely the way to go. Cheaper in the long run and you can really personalize your vape. Furthermore, you don't have to do constant maintenance, just rewick every so often and dry burn the coils then run under water. Easy peasy.

Clean your coils, its cheap and easy. You should have 3 BVC coils that you will have to rotate every two days, or depends on how much juice you vape. Dont wait till they start to clog up.


Cleaning is easy and takes 5-10min.
What you will need Hydrogen Peroxide that you can find at CVS, buy big bottles.
Baking Soda that you can find in same Isle that sells liquid detergent, not in the baking goods isle.

Now get a cup that is microwave safe. Pour about 1/3 of cup of peroxide, add 1/3 of tea cup of baking soda, mix it with a tea spoon, then drop the coil in to the mixture. Place the cup in the the microwave and set it for 1min.

CAUTION: The cup and the liquid will be extremely hot!!

Take the cup out of the microwave and watch the bubbles clean your coil. Move the coil around in the cup once every minute with a spoon. Remove the coil from the cup with a spoon after 5 min and rinse it under cool water. Blow it out excess water and let the coil dry over night.

Using the mini and the 3ml. Both same result. I am getting know hit and than the battery starts flashing. It is not the battery , it is fully charged.

Could be its some other problem entirely ; I'm guessing its a depressed center pin problem;

4 years?
sound like it's about time you had a proper mod by now; preferably one with adjustable center pin; are you still using ego batteries?
You could use a proper mod that tells you what's wrong; shows you your battery voltage; tells you your ohms; tells you if you have a short.

If you've been vaping 4 years it's a little surprising that you haven't moved on to rebuildables, is there a reason you haven't made the switch? The only non rebuildable I even remotely enjoyed using were those LR 510 bridgeless drippers, have you tried those?

Thinking the rebuildable is beyond me. And a lot of trouble. Although I'm having trouble now. Was happy with what I've been using till recently.
