Hi, long time away hope all are well... Per my norm, I have a ? and issue, you always have my answers... My 20watt I Stick and Nautilus Mini is blowing through coils. The 1.8 coils have been verified, I vape either a 50/50 ratio really 60/40 is my favorite (love sweet juices). Like fill tank 2x max before juice gets all icky brown burt taste... I prep coils well... Thoughts?

What voltage are you vaping at? Thats the biggest question. If you vape higher than 4.2 volts you can expect to burn through coils pretty quick. Even doing 70/30 vg/pg my nautilus mini coils last approx. 2 weeks of regular usage. If you chain vape and just keep burning your coil before giving it a chance to cool could also be an issue.

I don't usually go high in my wattage/ voltage.... Like right now, a 60/40 ratio 8watts, 3.4 volts? In the very beginning, @ 2 months we were at like 12-13 watts maybe... It depends on the the juice... Right now, the juice is sweet and I love the taste inside and out... But I don't take like "vape breaks" I vape like fairly consistently throughout the afternoon and evenings.

Some e-juice is just a natural wick killer. Nicoticket's "The Virus" has been one of those, for me. Often after 3 or 4 tankfuls I'd need a fresh coil (in my Nautilus Mini).

What e-juice are you using? Is it particularly dark? And in general, sweet e-liquids tend to gunk up faster than, say, menthol or mint.
