Kanger T3 Coils Burning Out Too Quickly

[Jonny5000]

Does anyone else have this problem? I just put in a new coil on Thursday and it's already tasting burnt today. The coils are 1.8ohms and I vape on it on my ego-t 650 mah. I'm a moderate to heavy vaper, so I'd figure these coils would last me at least a week if not a week and a half to two.

Have you washed the clearo prior to use? Wash it, leave it overnight in vodka. The burnt taste is leftover manufacturing chemicals

It depends on the juice. I love Twilite from mt baker vapor, but it caramelizes in the T3 and starts burning on the coil, so I vape it in a Vivi Nova instead. Other juices I have don't have that problem.

Just built my first coil for an Ody 2 and it was super easy. Took about 15 minutes but I could probably build the next one in under 5. Might want to consider an RBA. I'm pretty sure it will be less expensive in the long run.

I rebuild my kanger coils all the time. Less expensive and wasteful than throwing the whole thing away.

What e-liquid are you using?

I have been on a T3 - same coil - 3 weeks/ Washed twice.
Also Burnt taste is not the coil but the juice caramelizing and burning off the coil

I used two different coils on green apple and strawberry from mt baker vapor. So pretty much I should just wash it?

 

[Jonny5000]

Would leaving it in rubbing alcohol work the same way?

Also, when I vape on it, sometimes it'll taste perfect then two puffs later it'll taste super burnt.

What % pg/VG u using? With higher VG content, I find mine clogg after 6ml. A quick rinse/dry burn clears this up.
I have 2 t3's, I rebuilt the 1st one after a week to perform better on my 650 ego, rebuilt at 1.7ohms. The second is the 2.5 head that came with... using it on a twist at around 4.2-4.5v... same deal with both, need cleaned/dry burnt after 6ml. A higher pg ratio, and I may get 8+ml, but still using it and on week 4

I see, that's probably what it is then, I did fill it twice then start tasting the burnt taste. I'm vaping 65pg/35vg.So I'm guessing I should get a good 3 or so fills in before a cleaning.
