Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I was a heavy smoker for about 5 years (at my peak, I was smoking almost 2 packs of menthol cigarettes per day). Finally decided to try vaping out, so I went out and picked up a Smok Devilkin kit and a few things of juice.
I absolutely love it and after a week of having it, the mere smell/taste of cigarettes is unbearable. Unfortunately, I've been having some issues with my device -- my coils are burning out fast. I've had the device for about a week now, and I've gone through 4 coils.
I prime them thoroughly, usually changing them before I go to bed, so I let it sit/soak overnight. After putting in a new coil, I lower the wattage and keep it there for 1-3 hours, and then I'll steadily increase it (I usually keep it at 80W-90W -- according to the coil, the "best" setting is 80W-100W). On the new coils, I'll take slow drags/hits, and even after I "break it in," I don't hit it too hard. I hit it hard enough to get a good cloud and feel satisfied. I also don't chain vape (usually wait 45-60 seconds between hits).
At this point, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. My coils are only lasting about 1.5 days before I begin getting the burning sensation. I check the tops of the coil, and sure enough the cotton is burnt/brown. My only other guess at this point is the juice itself is to blame.
Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. the coils I'm using are the V12 Prince ones and my juice is currently at 6MG.
