How to know when Coil needs changing

[Vaping_Racoon]

Hey,

new vaper here and really happy that I made the switch.

I was wondering what to expect when a coil needs changing (or cleaning, I use BVC's) ?
Will I notice from the taste or less vapor production ?

Thanks alot!

When you start to feel like something is missing, it's probably time.

Hello, and yes, you will often notice both low vapor production and a horrid taste. The taste will be unforgettable and you will not have any difficulty recognizing it once it happens. You should not clean those coils if they are replaceable types --- Simply use your gear for 1 through 4 weeks until you notice either the foul taste or lower vapor production then simply change the coil. Make sure you prime the coil with e juice b4 installing it into the tank.

Thanks for the answer guys

Mind describing the taste if you can (?)

Like lighting an old dirty pair of socks on fire and trying to smoke them.... Not that I have tried smoking socks or anything

Okay

Is it because of all the gunk burning (trying to get the phenomenon)

It can be just lack of taste more than foul taste, to my experience.

Yeah I don't plan on getting to the point of foul taste

In essence, I believe so, over time you will get residue built up on the coil from the eliquid and that residue starts to combust and that's what gives you that awful taste. I remember seeing it happen a lot when I used to use EVOD tanks (the discoloration of the rest of the liquid in the tank)

- Frequent burnt taste
- Low vapor production
- Taste is getting off

And yeah, if it looks like this.. Change it..

When a Coil gets Gunked Up and Needs Changing, it starts to taste like this...

I love burnt marshmallows!

I notice a slight burnt taste or almost no flavor when my OCC coils need replaced.

Aren't you guys described dry burn? For my wicks occasional dry burn is not really damaging thing. Of course I haven't vaped full-strength flavored juice for a long time...

I think it tastes almost like burnt hair smells like. You will definitely be able to tell once you taste it. It's not a pleasant taste by any means.
