I've been going through the forums for a long time tonight and reading every thread with people that are having issues with the new BVC coils. Without going any further, I do have to point out the usual- these coils are the best thing I've ever vaped on, and overall I love them more than anything when they perform in their usual flawless fashion. But I have encountered what appears to be some duds....
My theory: someone in another thread mentioned the possible causation between 1.8 and 1.6 ohm coils. I'm wondering if the 1.6 coils might really be the issue, and I wanted to see if anyone who has had problems can think back to which resistance coils gave them problems.
I'm basing this on the following:
-Since everyone's first vape with the new mini seems to be unanimously flawless; does anyone know which coil comes prepacked in the mini? If it's the 1.8, this may support the theory. (I'm assuming it comes with one of each like the old Nautilus did, but I'm not certain.)
-My first hand experience- I've ordered three different 5 packs of replacements that all checked out as authentic on the Aspire website, but 1 of the 3 boxes appears to be bad, and taste burnt. I realized that these have all been 1.6 packs that I've been ordering, since the vendor I've been using doesn't have 1.8 in stock.
-Another bad coil that I encountered was the secondary coil that's packed in as the spare that comes with the Mini. Once again, this goes back to my other point....if the 1.8 is the standard one, my experience points to the 1.6's being the potential problem.
-Most of the problems that I've seen people report on here seem to mention 1.6- or the only ones that mention it. (many don't specify)
Now I need your help. Is this sounding right? Please let me know if you've been having problems- which ohm's were they? It's also possible that I've been reading these forums for far too long investigating this, and have started losing my mind. If so, someone set me straight.
