I keep burning my coils

[Kelsy S Williams]

Sooo I've only been vaping a few weeks. I just got the smok 22 a couple days ago. And I've already burnt up one coil. I just put in the second one that came with it. I made sure it was primed really well. But now I am afraid to use it because i don't want to burn it up. Because I don't have money for anymore coils right now. I think I am chain vaping....Obviously....any advice on how to slow down....I did read in another thread somewhere on the interweb about poking holes in the coil. I tried doing that before I put this coil in. But it was pretty much impossible.

Not much else to do but turn your heat down then. What are you at, and what does the coil say?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

The smok 22 is a non adjustable direct output device that uses a .3Ω proprietary head.

What pg/vg ratio & nic mg/ml are your using?
What type of inhale are you attempting?
MTL - slower smooth longer restricted to airy inhale.
DTL, hard fast direct to lungs unrestricted wide open inhale.

Vaping 101, always have backups, including power device, delivery devices and spare new heads.

 

[Kelsy S Williams]

My device is a fixed watt. So I'm not sure.

 

[Kelsy S Williams]

The juice I have right now is 80/20. 6mg
And I would say dtl.
I'm short on cash. But im learning it's better to invest in better products. But I don't quite understand what the 80/20 means?

At one time 80/20 would mean 80pg/20vg, the pg was listed first. Now it usually means 80vg/20pg with the largest percent listed first.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

80/20 is the Pg/Vg ratio, it should be marked which is which though.

I would guess they mean 20%Pg & 80%VG.
Pg - carries flavors better, (higher Pg more flavor tasted with less % of flavorings used) and slightly adds to / allows throat hit to come through.
Vg - produces more vapor/clouds, is smoother less harsh than Pg, mutes flavorings & adds slight sweetness.

When you buy more liquid, a 40pg/60vg or 30pg/70vg will wick faster than the 80vg you're using now, may help with burnt tastes when chain vaping.

The only ways to slow down are; self control, find something else to do, set your device farther away, increase nic mg/ml.

How many cigarettes were you smoking per day prior to starting to vape?

smok coils are not know for lasting very long the only thing I would suggest is as soon as you notice reduced performance put your coil in boiling water and let it boil for 20 min. then let them dry but have to do it before they taste burnt

The biggest gripe about Smok brand devices seems to be the life of the coils. Try not to chain vape. It might help.

 

[stols001]

If your airflow is not wide open, Do That.

Also, chain vaping is kind of deadly to coils. If you can do so, raise your nic a bit and see if your vaping frequency goes down.

When you can get an adjustable wattage mod with more coil options, do that.

Best of luck,

Anna

Probably the juice.

Smok vape pen worked really bad for us. My girlfriend bought it and it was nothing but trouble but I hear you about being short on cash.

When you can invest I'd suggest researching a what your next setup should be or ask away. I wasted a lot of money before I got into something ideal but I guess part of it is trial error and finding what works best for you.

When you chain vape it's guaranteed to burn coils quickly. It's similar to car tyres. It depends on how you use them. If your drifting corners and taking your car to the track on weekends, then your tyres might barely last 2 days. If your a standard road user then you will get months even a full year out of your tyres. Same applies to coils.

I chain vape quite a lot myself. 2-3 days a coil is pretty standard.

 

[DeloresRose]

Prime your coils.

Give a few seconds at least between puffs to let the wick soak some more juice.

Next time, maybe get higher nic.

Burnt coils usually means burnt cotton. Smok coils can be rebuilt, but its a regular pain in the sit-upon. If youre chain vaping, slow down a bit.
