I'm very new to vaping as I just got my Kangertech EVOD starter kit last Saturday, along with Aerotank. How do you know when to replace the coils? I read when you start to taste a burnt taste. This may sound dumb but I can't tell I'm tasting burning or a mentholated taste. The wicks are slightly black but not fully.
Need help with coils!

With my coils (Smok Tech Replacement Bottom Coils), they start tasting burnt. Then I just clean it (drop in very hot tap water for 10-15 min and every once in a while stirring up the water around), dry burn it and screw it back in. I can do this to 1 coil and keep it going for about 2-4 weeks. This may not be the coil you use but it may help you a little on how its done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAYk2aKytpg. This is what I do every other time it starts to get burnt taste.

I went through this as well when I first started in June. Kangertech Evod dual coil with a vv batery. I started with 24mg darker colored tobacco flavored juice. I was hitting the hell out of that thing trying to make it all work cause I was sick of smoking after 40 years. What I noticed was about after 3 days of use the coil was done! No rinsing, soaking or anything else was going to bring it back to any useable state. I would get hard choking hits, no vapor, and just a ....ty taste to the point where I was about ready to give it up.
What I found out was, I was an uneducated vaporer! The smokeshop people really didn't give me much info. Not near what you will find on here!
My advice, If your having problems with any of the things I mentioned just put a new coil in it. Life will be good again!
I have since ventured out and tried different flavors, what I've noticed is using lighter colored juices is much more friendlier on coils. I'm down to 6mg nic since June and use a clear flavored juice and coils last about 5 days before performance drops off. I find that I can rinse them out and get another day or so of use, everyones different.
I've rebuilt some coils with mixed levels of success. Main thing keep coils on hand, and buy you a backup battery! A dead battery gave me as much grief or more than a spent coil! Good luck and hang in there! You can beat the cigs with this!

a dry hit burned hit is very noticable... it will be just simply put.... disgusting, harsh, rough, nasty, and gross. coils on average last 3-7 days depending on your vaping habits... if you are going thru 3-5 ml a day, you are looking at replacing the coils about every 3 days or so. So in general, a coil will last about 15 ml before it needs attention....
Thanks for all your help. I'm just having difficulty with this dual Aerotank cool but I'm still getting vapor and some flavor so i guess it's ok. It's not a horrible taste yet. Also , I switch vaping between the Aerotank and regular EVOD tank because of juice. Had these since last Saturday so I figured it would be shot by now.
Kanger coils do not give a ton of taste but I have honestly found the single kanger coils wick and give better flavor than the duel coils. If you are questioning this than just change the coil for 2 bucks it isn't worth a sub pay vape
If you are rebuilding coils, you might want to try using rayon. When I used cotton ( T3's) I could get three or four tanks before getting a burnt taste. When I started using rayon, I got 14-18 tanks before I began to notice a slight taste difference. Also, with rayon I have yet to get a dry or burnt taste. I changed them at 18 tanks full ( around 36ml) because they gummed up and the hit was too hard.
