My coil keeps going bad.

[SansaNaris]

Hey everyone,

I am new to vaping (trying to quit smoking) and I am new here. I have the Lotus vapor and the coil in it just keeps going bad. I brought the replacements today and switched it out. Not even half a day and the coil went bad again. I use it ALOT. I am just sick of it going bad all the time. Can anyone help me?

prbably the way you vape it. the way you inhale is different in smoking vs vaping

are you letting the juice soak enough..ive never used that tank.but any tank needs to wick for a few minutes before vaping..after you change your coil pull(suck) on the tank to help draw the juice into the coil. also try turning the wattage/voltage down on your battery.maybe too high and burning the coil quickly.

 

[SansaNaris]

So do inhale not so deep? I feel so dumb. I also don't have a high or low button on it. :/ So I am not sure what to do. How do inhale it? Lol

it could be a number of things. like the VG content of your e liquid. What exactly are you using? I'm not familiar with a "lotus vapor" but I assume its a bottom coil clearo and an ego style battery. A replacement coil should last you at least a week or two but if your using max VG ( e liquid made for dripping ) then its going to gunk up and burn out your coil very quickly. or you could simply be starving the coil of liquid because of its thickness.therefore getting a nasty burnt hit. can you post a link to or a picture of your device,tank and the e liquid your using?

Is this possibly not a e-juice vaporizer? Just asking.

 

[albcig]

slowly. you do a slow mouth inhale first. its called a mouth to lungs inhale. you'll get it with time don't worry

 

[SansaNaris]

Yes I can.

 

[SansaNaris]

No I have to put juice in it. haha,I am so sorry I feel so stupid.

Wasn't questioning your intelligence, there is a lotus pen for vaping other things.. When you say the coil went bad, do you mean taste or just won't fire, or won't produce vapor?

 

[SansaNaris]

It starts leaking onto my lips and when I went to the smoke shop today they told me that the coil goes bad and I need to replace it. Also there isn't any smoke.

first off, do not let any of this scare you away from vaping and staying off the analog cig(real cig)..you have a very basic ecig and it may not fulfill what your need is.

 

[b14ckd34th]

sounds like your coil and tank is flooded.

 

[albcig]

so you have to first pull the vapor into your mouth slowly and then inhale. those are not very good atomizers. old style bottom coils. you can find far better ones.

you are probably flooding the coil or burning it, because you don't know yet how to vape it. you'll learn don't worry but don't give up

 

[Jwaterski]

Do you know what ohm coils you are using, appears that the battery you are using is fixed voltage. I would stay around the 2.0 to 2.2 ohm range with the fixed volt battery. You might want to search "dry burning" kanger pro tank/evod coils. You can get a little more life out of them without much effort that way.

If you don't want to change coils as much vape less or UPgrade to a atomizer and mod more suitable to how you vape. something rebuildable and maybe a regulated mod of some sort. Most atty's like you have don't do well with thick (high VG) juice without some modification. Some can be serviced and reused, check Youtube for vids on the subject of rebuilding the atty you have.

Some juices kill coils faster by nature. The NET juices I use ruin a replaceable coil head in HOURS. now with a kayfun tank Ionly get a a day or so, but now I just change the wick for less than a penny and a few minutes effort, instead of $1 or more or several minutes working through a jewlers loop.

Hi Sansa
Let me say that I had many issues when I bagan. Your device is best known as an eGo type battery with a eVod clearomizer.

With that being said, how are you taking your draws on the device?

 

[SansaNaris]

Pretty long and hard. My husband wants to go to the vapor store tomorrow. Would it be better getting a new upgrade? I mean I know the coils will still go bad,but just wanting some insight into what I should look for ect

 

[Bootiewootsy]

Are you using a sweet or dark juice? Chain vaping will also give you burnt coils.. Check to see if you have juice flooding on your battery connection also.. Don't give up, just read all the above advice and start over. You may have to change your juice if it has a burnt taste. It is different than smoking, as you have to learn to take a slow steady puff in your mouth, then inhale into your lungs.. Don't try to go to fast.. Take a deap breath and tell your self I can do this...

 

[SansaNaris]

It's sweet I don't like the darker stuff I tried it from my friends vape. I don't want to give up! Haha I just want to quit ciggs I hate them. I will take all of you guys advice and do my best ^_^.
