Hello, I made a post here a few days or so ago about the 2 coils (0.5Ω and 1.0Ω) that came with the eGo ONE Kit and how they both tasted burnt after 2 days of use (probably my fault for no letting them wick up the e-juice long enough but they both could have been bad coils).

I would like to know how to properly prepare the coil for vaping. How do I prime the coil? How long should I let the coil soak up the e-juice? Any special things to know? etc. Thanks in advanced!

If you wanna be extra careful, I'd let it sit for at least 10 minutes. You could take a few primer puffs, which is basically inhaling on the tank without firing the button. This will help pull some of the juice into the coil and help wick it faster. You can also put your finger over the airholes (or just close it all the way or most of the way if there's adjustable airflow) and suck, which will draw even more juice into the wick. If you suck in too much juice, you might get a gurgley hit or some flooding and leaking, but I say I'd rather have that happen than burn out a coil and have it be unusable.

Thanks! I'll do this.

Yeah, when I had changeable atty's, would let the juice saturate for 15 minutes before that first vape, and never had problems when observing this. On can do some primmer puffs, but, tis easy to suck in too much juice and flood the coil head, so, don't suck to hard :D or something like that.!!!!


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!!
