Issues Aerotank V2 / Dual Coils

[Ryan Borg]

HI Guys.. glad i found this forum i have a question that has been keeping me on edge for a while.

I have a Aerotank V2 that came with 2 x 1.8ohm dual coils.. I am a heavy vapour so they ran our after about 5-7 days.. burn taste... I purchased 5 boxes of 2.0ohm coils seeing i was running out so quickly.. but for some reason i cant seem to get right voltage on them i always get burn taset from the start have some 1.5ohm they are the same work fine for a day or 2 and then they useless..

I have 3 batteries.. 1 is a vision spinner I 3.3v-4.8 v and 2x vision spinner II

Can someone guide me to what i am doing wrong please.. maybe i have the wrong batteries or something .. something is just bot right

Thanks In Advance

Have you been priming your coils, or letting them sit for a bit?

When you install a new coil, put a drop or two of liquid on each feed hole. Then, when you reinstall the base, either let it sit for 15 minutes or so, or take some cold hits (draw on it without hitting the button).

Take a few for juice to actually wick into the coil. Hitting the fire button right away will give you a burnt coil

I have an aero that I don't use anymore, expensive coils and short life are the primary reason I switched to an aspire, even switched back to my kanger mini before I got my Atlantis rig. Sorry I don't have anything more helpful.

Yep me too. I converted to rebuildable tanks recently simply to spare the cost of replacing those coils. I was spending more on coils alone than I was on ciggys. My aero-tank was awesome but the flavor died down noticeably after a day or two. Then kind of tasted muted/slightly burnt until it died. With heavy use I wouldn't expect them to last longer than a few days. If you are priming them with some juice and letting them sit a little before use, it's probably just the coils.

You could also try rebuilding your coils to save money. That's what I did (although I did also end up getting a Kayfun, but I like tinkering)

Hello and welcome to the forum Ryan. Glad to have you here!

If you are getting a burnt taste (we call those "dry hits"), if usually means your wick cannot pull the eliquid fast enough to keep up with your battery. There are a couple of things you can do:

1. Dial down your voltage. This will vaporize the eliquid at a slower rate (if your battery allows you to do this).
2. Decrease the airflow, if your tank has adjustable airflow. The decrease in airflow will increase vacuum inside the tank's atomizer, which should increase the flow of juice to the wick.
3. Take a sharp draw (or two) on your drip tip (without engaging your battery) while covering the airflow hole. This will pull more eliquid into the coil so that it will be available when you press the battery button and take a draw.

You will get the feel of this over time and develop a sense of how often you will need to do this to avoid "dry hits". The PG/VG ratio of your eliquid also comes into play, as VG is thicker than PG . If you use high VG try adding a few drops of distilled water to your tank to thin out the eliquid. You could also install a higher ohm coil.

Definitely make sure to allow the unit to sit with juice when you install a new coil...one dry hit and you are screwed. ..sometimes it's the coil is bad but I have the same tank and I've gotten 1 bad coil out of 30 or so

What is the PG/VG mix of the liquid that you are using? I'm using the Kanger MOW tank (same coils are the Aerotank 2) and I get almost 2 weeks from a coil. I stick to 50/50 juices though. I'm far from an expert, but higher VG liquids are probably more taxing on these coils.
