Need Advice on a Phoenix Top Coil

[Countrypami]

Hello

I'm having issues with my Phoenix top coils. They are gurgling and leaking. Any one else having this issue? Any suggestions for how to fix it?? I really like the flavor I'm getting off of these, but I'm having to blow them out at least once every 2 hours.

My wife used those for a while and then she switched to the Kanger t4s.
Give one a shot, I think you will like it.


Have fun

Have you tried "Fluffing" the wicks a little with a Paperclip?

No, I've never done that... how do you do that on a CE2?

I take a Small, Thin Paperclip and Straighten it out.

With a pair of Pliers and Bend a 90 Degree Hook on the End of the wire as Short as Possible.

I then slide this Hook into the CE2 between the Inside of the Tube and the Ceramic Cup on the CE2.

Very Gently I move the Hook until it is under the Wick and the Lift it Up Slightly. All your trying to do is Lift/Fluff the Wick so it Isn't Laying flat in the Ceramic Cup Slots.

Then move the hook back away from the wick and pull the Hook Out.

It sounds like a Lot of Steps. But it is Actually Very Easy. Once you have the Paperclip Hook Made.

BTW - If you take a Non-Hooked Straighten Out Paperclip and push it into the Batter End of a CE2, you can EVER SO SLIGHTLY lift the Coil/Wick on a CE2. This can Greatly Increase the Performance.

It can Also Break the Coil/Wick so use at your Own Risk. Practicing on an Old CE2 isn't a Bad Idea.

BTW - Sometimes it is Easier to just Band a Longer Hook into the Paperclip with then Pliers. The Trim it shorter with Wire Cutters.

Depends on how many tools you have on hand.

Thanks a bunch!... I'll try this.

No Problem... Let me know how things work out.

BTW - It's Funny. I remember a Time when you would have got 20 Replies to a Question like yours. I guess people don't Use Top coils much anymore. That, or it is a Slow Night in the gotvapes Sub Forum.

I've been away for awhile. LOL

There is a Ton of Good Information in it. Info that can be applied to Not Only the CE2, but Many Types of Clearomizers.

I use top coils for my thin juices, the Kanger e-smart and I love them. Minimal leaks and problems, some, but not bad. I'm going on week 5 with the first one I took out of the box. They have been awesome so far. I have never used a CE2 though, so I am afraid I can't be of much help with your question.
