Problems with dual coil

[Dwest]

Just started using a dual coil kangertech mini pro tank 3 a couple weeks ago and I can't get more than a week out out of the dual coils. I'm going back and forth between 8-9 watts on my istick and kind of just thinking about switching to a single coil set up. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make my coils last longer or on a good tank to switch to?

On a 20w Istick the nautilus mini hands down.

1. You may have cloned coils. If they are not genuine they could be made poorly.
2. 8-9 watts may be too high, but I'm sure you've tested this. I always found around 6.5 watts on the 20w istick for a 1.5 ohm coil to be as high as it needs to be.
3. Your juice it too thick or dark. Thick juice (high VG) will not wick well, meaning you need to prime the wicks more often. If you don't you'll burn out the coil. Dark juice will gunk up your coil quicker.

Hope this helps

I'm using the 1.2 ohm genuine coils. The packaging says kangertech but the actual coils say vaporking

Depending on which ohm coils you are using, you could be running them too hot...the 1.5 is rated 3.1-4.0V and the 1.8 is 3.6-4.8V...I would try to keep in the middle of those ranges if you want the coils to last as long as possible, and avoid burnt taste...

Sorry to say but they still could be a clone. China clone manufacturers will offer to brand stamp them too.

Another reason could be chain vaping? Also, there is a way to dry burn and/or clean them for re-use i've seen on youtube
