Warming the new coil up. Starting at a low wattage and working my way up to a higher one.
How long are you letting it set before you do that? (Also, might try the closed air/dry pull I mentioned earlier before firing at all on a fresh coil/fill)
Letting it set for like 30 min after I get done soaking the new coil and filling the tank up. Then I take a couple of dry pulls of the vent closed let sit for 5 min. Take like 10 dry pulls with vent open. Let it sit for another 5 min. Do it again. Start it on power mode at 30 watts take 5 short pulls. Let sit for a couple min. Then bump it up 5w and repeat till I'm at about 50 w and then proceed to 60 -70 w
That's a good, solid process. Bravo for that!
Now the question is: How is the vape at 50-60W? Flavorful? Cloudy? Tolerable?
Next question would be: Then why go any higher?
It's good at that level but I then start getting the burnt taste after a couple of pulls. And then it goes away. And really anything lower than that there is no taste and it's a really dry hit no moisture.
I'm not really sure what you mean by moisture either... the only reason that you should be getting actual moisture in your vape would be either spitback from the coil, or drawing too hard and wicking faster than the coil can vaporize (ie. flooding the coil). I'm having a hard time understanding why you're getting no flavor from a .25Ω coil at around 40-50W...
. I don't know when I get back to my house I'll try it out and see if it does any justice. Thanks for helping. I'll post again if it helped or if I'm still having the problem.
Sounds good. I probably won't be on by that point, but I'll check back in tomorrow morning. There should still be plenty of helpful veteran vapers around this evening to help you more if that doesn't fix the problem.
Maybe in addition to dialing down the wattage (to between 40-50W) you might try closing the airflow down a little more to go with it... maybe halfway or so. The balance to a good vape includes a lot of things. Less airflow gives better flavor, but the coil and the vapor can get hotter. The trick is to find the point where everything crosses over for you... wicking/airflow/power/draw... that balance point is the key, and once you find it you'll have a great vape.
That is what vwe have been trying to tell her. Just because the coils care rated for that power doesn't mean anything.
She may not be pulling enough airvto keep the coils cooled, the cotton may be too packed in there to be wicking effectively, the PG/VG ratio may be thicker, to turn the power down to prevent burning vthe coil, to not Fire until she us inhaling. And others.
Just wanted to check in with ya, Cookie... how'd the test go last night, man? Were ya able to get it set so that you get a good vape without burnt/dry hits?
Hey thanks for checking in yea but not as I would like I put my last new coil in and afraid to push it past 50 so that it doesn't burn. Been using a really thick juice aswell.
I probably wouldn't push past 50 either... that seems to be about the "honest" max that most production heads can handle... many state higher capability, but in practice they just can't handle it. Especially with really thick juice... the thicker it is, the harder it is to wick...
@Cookie0549 Hi and welcome to ECF. Regretfully I do not have much experience with your gear, but I can see you're getting help already. I hope you manage to find a vape you will like.
Edit: Don't worry too much about wattage guidelines. All newcomers must start somewhere, and it normally is at low watts. Experiment and find what you like.
