hey ladies and gents, It has just come to light that my Horny Mango vape juice has been destroying my T8 (strongest) coil for the smok 220w. I heard this from the cool guy in my local vape shop. I did not know certain juices affect coils, 3-4 puffs and it’s kaput. Has anyone else suffered from this? Is this actually just a myth and there’s something else that causes the coil to burn rapidly? And if so, are there some cool tips to go about it? (Instead of just buying “friendly” vape juice) haha thanks!

There's not one single factor to gunked up coils but the juice certainly is a major one.
-juice composition
-juice flow
-airflow
-how you draw
-wire type
all influence how quickly a coil can gunk up. For naughty juices a rebuildable atomizer is advised as you can just dryburn it and change the wick (costs less than a cent) instead of dropping in a new coilhead (for a few dollars).

That may or may not solve your problem, some juices are just known coil killers, although yes, less heat/wattage may help the situation some. However, some juices just kill coils and sadly, the ones that one may "love" due to their varied flavor profile are often the ones we want to chain vape (also a known coil killer, IMO). So, take it easy with that juice (or, you know, start down the rebuilding trail, it's never a bad idea in any case, to have some atomizers going that don't require drop in coils and etc.

It's not unusual. Some vendors do use higher percentages of flavorings than others, not to mention sweetener (which can be a coil killer) or even food colorings (totally unnecessary, hard on coils, but hey, blue rasberry has to be blue? Right?

It's not always isolated to one vendor and etc. Some juices, like NETs for example tend to be gunky. The more "gunk" (all the additional ingredients) the more likely a juice is to be a coil killer.

Less sweet and clear juices (like some of the citruses and etc.) are often less gunky and less hard on coils. It becomes a balance between what you like best that won't kill your coils.

Also a reason why I enjoy DIY. Now that my tastebuds are back the juices I create are a lot different from storebought. Less sweetener, when I search out certain flavors that might have colorant, like chocolate, I purchase a "clear" version if able, and I've come to enjoy more subtle nuances and etc.

If you really love a coil killing juice and don't want it out of rotation, your best bet is really, honestly a rebuildable atomizer, wire and wick are cheap, premade coil heads are NOT. Etc.

I think everyone wishes for a magic solution when they find that "favorite" juice that kills their coils, but there just isn't one.
