I need wisdom on rebuild

[blue5]

So I have been rebuilding for about a week.. and actually gotten pretty good on rebuilding the burnt Aspire nautilus heads..
Yesterday, I decided to put in a fresh from the packet head ... and it burnt out in 3hrs
So today I taken it apart to rebuild it and found one of the coils to be odd looking (the top coil), unlike other past coils from other burnt out heads...

It looks deformed... Anyone seen something like this before? is this normal for a burnt coil? and what is it?
Needless to say my rebuild is working perfect so far... cleaner flavor... no burnt...

I've never seen anything like it. Hard to tell with all the dark burnt stuff, but it looks as though the resistance wire was wound into a ball. That would make for a wild hot spot I'd imagine...

It was originally a 1.8 then all of the sudden when I noticed something wrong with it, it went up to 2.8

Give me a few minutes.. going to clean it in alcohol to see what it looks like

Very funky! Never seen one that gross before. What kind of e-liquid are you vaping? Very dark and sweet? Just curious.

Not familiar with that kind.
I'm interesting in what you find after cleaning the "stuff" off of it.

it looks sort of normal... just looser, not a nice and neat wrap

I am sure more experienced rebuilders could see something

The looseness may have been cause from removing it. Honestly, to me it just looks like it got way too gunked up. But it may have had some type of defect in the actual coil material and was just bad from the get go. But I've never seen a coil that gross so really anything I say is pure speculation. You might get some good feedback from the folks that frequent thisRebuildable Atomizer Systems part of the forum.

Must be the Gorilla "GLAZE"

Or, the assembler may have been ...... because they had to work through break.........
