Hey guys, so I started vaping a week and a half ago to quit cigarettes, I started with an e-leaf 50w and quickly ugraded to a Sigelei 75w with a Hercules tank. Now none of the juices I have taste right, I even just changed my atomizer and primed it just as the guy showed me but instead of getting the nice peach flavour I had before, I'm getting almost a burnt popcorn taste. It isn't the same "burnt coil" taste I had with the old unit so I don't know if that's the case or not. Any help Or advice here?

What wattage are you firing it at, and what's the resistance of the coil? Should say on your screen.
Did you start at low wattage and break the coil in before firing higher at 40watts?
Anytime you put a new coil in, always prime the coil, take a few puffs without actually pushing the button, and start low(12 or so) and take a few puffs then go up by 5 or so watts until you reach your sweet spot.

I did prime it as the guy at the vape shop showed me, took 4-5 puffs before pressing the button and started at 20w before going to 40w

I'd say you have a short or a hot leg then. Take the tank section off and fire the coil with the cotton in, if anything turns red you have a hot spot.
The flavour seems to be returning so maybe I jumped the gun on my post but there is still a burn in the back of my throat. I'm using 2 different juices from the same place, one at 6mg nic and the other at 0mg nic to cut the amount of nicotine
I'm not using a dripper, but a Sense Hercules tank where I use an atomizer instead of a built cotton/coil
If they are high in VG it could be you are vaping faster than the juice can get into the cotton. Try to take a puff then wait before taking another.
new here, but vaping almost 1.5 years now. Jumping ohms is a serious problem. Check your atty, make sure coils are screwed tight. İf not atty but your box mod is the problem then you might wanna check this topic here: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic...nyone_experiencing_jumping_ohms_on_a_sigelei/
oops, links don't work here? just google "For anyone experiencing jumping ohms on a Sigelei Box Mod" , there is a reddit topic about that. Ohm jump will constantly cause dry hits and shorts, you should fix it.
I'm sure you have moved on from this by now, but the hercules using Stainless Steel coils if I remember correctly. They are entirely safe at the power you are running them. The thing to keep in mind with Stainless Steel is when it heats up the ohms will change. That is 100% normal. That is why the ohms change. It's like nickel, but not as drastic a change. Some mods now even do temp control with stainless steel wire. The problem is it doesn't change enough to be accurate, but it does prevent burning the cotton for the most part. As stated if you are running a high VG then the coils may not be wicking fast enough. The burning feeling is usually a slight burn of the wicking material. Try taking a needle or paperclip and breaking up the filler inside the wicking holes. This will help the juice flow better. If you over-do it then you can have a problem with leaking, but generally speaking this will work very well. You can try a thinner juice just to see if you are scared to damage your coils.
