kangertech upgraded coils

[thinktink74]

just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the new kangertech coils? it's possibly user error on my part, but i seem to be going thru 1 of these suckers every 1-3 days. i'm currently using these tanks with either of my basic kangertech evod batteries, one is a 650mah VV and the other is a 1000mah regulated 3.7v. i do on occassion use them with my husband's itaste VV... so it's not like i'm vaping these things at high wattages. i'd say 3.7v is about the highest i've gone.
as for priming the coils, i always let the tanks sit for several minutes after filling and do a few quick draws without hitting the fire button. after a day or so the flavour of the juice is not nearly as flavourful as it was the day before and seems to taste watered down... that's the best i can describe it. any suggestions? thanks in advance!

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

1. Which kanger coils are you referring to?
2. Which tank are you using?

could depend on what sort of juice you're using.. high/er vg and sweet/er liquids will dirty your coils more quickly.

I currently have a Kanger PT3 mini on my Istick 30 and I have one of the new sytle 1.8 ohm dual coil units on it and it's been working fine. I'm running about 3.4v and it has the adjustable airflow adapter on it. Not great clouds or anything, just kind of a nice quiet vape. Takes a few seconds (puffs) to get it warmed up. No big deal.

sorry! i have a kangertech genitank mini and a protank mini 3.
the coils are the upgraded dual coils (1.5ohm).

most of my ejuices are a 70PG/30VG mix. the sweet/er makes sense... i like the fruit juices. ty for the reply!

I had to get rid of those tanks. Burn through coils plain and simple. look into a rebuildable tank atomizer. find out which ones are simple (kanger subtank mini has a very simple platform and rip trippers on youtube has a good how to video.) its my first rta and i'll never look back. so much more vapor and so cheap if you twist your own coils. just a thought.

Yup, I bought a Kanger Aerotank Mini, and I hate the new coils. They do burn out very quickly.

I rebuild the old-style coils, which must be why they changed the style. Has anyone figured out how to rebuild these new ones?

I have been running the same coil that came with my aerotank mega for a month now. I also have 3 aerotank v2 and a genitank mega and have replaced them with coils I got from Mt Baker vapor. Are you using authentic kanger coils?? The ones from fasttech and some other stores are not genuine. Mt Baker vapor. Com has a 5 pack for under $8 and I've never had a problem with them. I would also suggest using a 1.8 ohm

Good suggestion! The 1.5 ohm coils that came with my new tank crapped out pretty quickly. Recently, I bought some replacements and noticed they'd given me the 1.8 ohm kind. I just put one in yesterday, so I'll be sure to pay attention and see how much longer they last. I bet it'll help. The 1.8s in my starter tank (same battery) last much longer.

You can still find the older style coils (easier to rebuild). I haven't tried to rebuild a new one yet although I just changed a new style coil out last week. I'm getting at least a couple of weeks out of my coils. Maybe my tastebuds are shot and I just don't know the difference. lol

thank you for all the replies... looks like some are having great luck with them and others are in my boat. i only purchase the kangertech brand coils and i'm positive they are genuine. i pay just under $10 for 5 of them. i'd like my husband to try rebuilding... it'll give him a hobby while he can't be out on his motorcycle. we're fairly new to all of this and are learning new things every day.

I also have not had any issues with them, I actually think they're a big improvement from the old, kanger sucks with coils, but I seem to be getting better life and a lot less leaking, I bought the 1.0 ohm, and I've ran them on various devices from a ego 650, Twist, A 3.7 volt battery in a Mech, and currently a KBOX on 13w and they seem to be working fine, the last me about 4-6 days.

I think the new coils are awesome
