are these the kanger premades?

i actually used them in my first kit i bought... the first two i had both titanium lasted like 2 weeks before the flavor started to change...then a month(total, so 2 additional weeks after cleaning) before i personally said this sucks.

the people at the B&M depending on location and person (lets say if he's the owner) just want to sell you stuff instead of spending time trying to fix the stuff for you.

my personally opinion would be to clean them (youtube is great for this ;) )

if it's still bad after that it's time to get new ones or get into rba's or w.e.

I just got the Joyetech ego AIO - the coils for this are 0.6 ohm ss. How fast do these type coils usually die? I just got it yesterday and already the first of the two coils is dead! While I'm a fairly consistent hitter, I'm not a super heavy or constant hitter. So... is this a faulty coil, or do they usually die within 24 hours of use?

Where do I get replacements? My local shop doesn't carry them, and the place where I bought the device doesn't sell them, either. I'd like to find a place that doesn't require you to sign up for their site or go through any extra rigamarole - I just want to buy and leave.

Thank you.

Advertized as cheap e-liquid. At 10.99 for 15ml I'm going with the quality.

A bit thin, but should not effect any coil structure.

Likely you caught a Dud. However, understanding Coil structure and a bit of tinkering can often get them running again.

There are 3 basic types of Coil head failures.
1) Blown(broken) coil - Non repairable, Replace (Master builder, rebuild)
2) Shorting - Correctable by shifting the coil - (NOT YOUR CASE)
3) Age failure from gunk build up - Soaking in Grain alcohol overnight may revitalize.

* Another common issue on Factory Replacement heads:
The Coil legs sit in place and make contact by being pinched against their respective points by the Lower Grommet and Positive Pin.
This POOR way of attachment constantly leads to miss-reading Ohms and in some cases lose of connectivity.
Simply twisting the Center pin can, at times, correct ohms reading or make a Thought Dead Coil fire again, by shifting pressure on the Coil legs.

Mose Coil legs are slightly exposed and can be easily read for resistance with a small multi-meter.
