Noob - Need help - Kanger Evod

[mike4284]

Hello,

I have been using a Kanger Evod for the past 3 weeks and everything's fine up until today i noticed there's
very little vapor and i hear a slurping sound.

I purchased a 5-pack of coils with my evod and change them every 2-3 days and clean them with water.

Do i need new coils? I took one apart and noticed the wick was very very black, almost burnt looking, although
i still don't understand why its not producing much vapor and also making a big slurping sound.

Appreciate any help.

Thats pretty normal for wick to look like that. If your not building your own just pick up another box. usually when they start leaking not to much you can do.

Time to dryburn your coils.

In a few weeks time you will be rewicking with cotton.

Your coils are gunked up. The wicks are thus unable to hold on to the juice, which just stays on top of the gunk.

Several ways to get rid of the gunk. Personally, I've only dry burned them or recoil them. You can see which works for you.

In no particular order
1) dry burn
2) soak in alcohol
3) soak in vinegar
4) denture cleaning tablets
5) sonic cleaner
6) recoil with your own wire and wick

Flooding
Remove the tank from your battery nod. Wrap the tank in a paper towel or tissue. Blow three or four times into the drip tip. Juice will be forced out of the tank atomizer.
Put the tank back on the battery mod. It should vape normally.

Heavy vaping, Thick, Dark, Sweet Ejuice:
Here's the cleaning process that I use for Evod/PT atomizer heads:

Soak in 91% Isopropyl alcohol or everclear over night or until I get 5-6 to clean.
Rinse throughly with warm tap water forcing water into the wick area.
Towel dry and blow out any water.
Mount the head on a tank base.
Remove the gasket and stem.
Remove the flavor wick(s).
Mount the tank base with the atomizer head on your PV.
Dry burn 6 watts, 5 seconds on/off. Repeat until coils are all turning red and wick is clean.
Blow the burned off crud away.

Hold the flavor wick with tweezer while burning them with a lighter or torch until wick is clean.
-Place the flavor wick back on top of the coil.
Or
-Replace the flavor wick with the material of your choice.

Reinstall the stem and gasket.



Appreciate any help.

Changing coils every 3 days??? Holy crap. I can make a single coil last for at least 10ml of fluid. As far as the slurping sound. That can be caused from pressure changes, temperature changes, low viscosity fluid, or poor quality coils.

mostly it's because the wick can't hold enough ejuice, yes dryburn is an option to "empty" the wick and then wait for a fully wet condition of the wick, also you may need to clean it, all job is to help the wick hold enough continuously.
no need to change too often like 3 days, consider to choose a stable supplier of your coils may save your time and enjoy more.
