Ok so im fairly new to vaping and i recently bought the Evod Mega starting kit
obviously comes with 1900 mAH battery
an Atomizer Length 63mm Diameter 18.5mm
2.5 ml capacity
Dual coil 1.5
and ive only had it 3 days and it seems it is not producing any near as much vape as it was before.
I always keep it filled over halfway (even the box says to)
So i was wondering if anyone thinks ill need to buy a new coil or what.
As i said im new to vaping so thank you for taking time to read this!

hi @Ty D , and welcome to the forum. Coils usually last from a week to 2 weeks on average. Replacing the coil is a good way to figure out if it is in fact the coil. Dark, sweeter juices will gunk a coil faster than clear juices. Another issue could be the battery. Has it been recharged? What is the pg/vg ratio of your juice?

Welcome @Ty D :) Sir2 has you well covered with some typical troubleshooting questions. Depending on how often you're using your device, you may have run the charge down or you may have "gunky" coils. Also, when putting the topper on the mod, "snug" - not overtight. If you've shoved down the contact pin on either the topper or on the battery, you may not be getting good contact. Also, check to make sure there's not juice in the battery contact. Take a Q-tip (dry or moistened with isopropyl alcohol) to clean out that area. Check the bottom of the topper (where it screws into the battery). Make sure it's clean and dry....

I had a crappy one before but i upgraded to a real e pen and i was only smoking on breaks at work prolly 5 times today max and a few when i got home and thats when i noticed i wasnt getting as much vapor. I also take it about and clean it everyday just wiping away the gunk and what not (also in the battery). The liquid ive been using is by Imperial Hookah called Jungle Juice it is for the most part clear and as for the pg/vg it does not say on the bottle. @HDB919 @DingerCPA @Sir2fyablyNutz

Definitely need plenty of coils for replacement. They are considered disposable.
Battery should always be charged fully before using.

Once vapor/Flavor diminishes Battery may be ready to be fully charged again.
If your battery has an adjustment for voltage, you should keep at a setting that delivers a slightly warm flavorful vape.
To high will burn e-liquids
To low will Gunk coils

Once a Fully charged battery cannot produce decent Vapor/Flavor, the coil head may need changed.
Exception is, the e-liquid tank could be slightly flooded. This can be corrected by removing the tank and placing in a napkin. Blow lightly through tip and wipe any excess from tank bottom area.

Yes buy a few. Or watch YouTube videos on how to rebuild your coils
