Some nasty a_s coils in there...

Is that a good thing or a bad? It sounds bad but these days you just never know - what with the disappearance of "awesome!" Or "oh that sucks" from our vocabulary.

Aliens normally = good though. . So I must ask.

I just cleaned them saturday!!!

With some juices you need to clean and rewick every one to two tanks..

It depends how much flavoring is used and what type of sweetener. .

Most store bought ejuice is heavily flavored as well as sucrolose used as the sweetener and with some of those one tank is all you've got.

I flavor heavily in my DIY but I use a more stable sweetener so I can make it two tanks - sometimes three although I don't like to push it.

How often you clean and rewick depends on what ejuice, how much you vape and how much of a stickler you are on taste...

When you get a build up on your coils, the taste changes for the worse..

You may not notice that quite yet as you don't have a full return on your taste buds yet..

If I were you based on what you've said and the state of your coils, you might want to get into the habit of rewicking and cleaning your coils daily. ..

My coffee (favorite) is really bad on coils, blacken them the moment you hit the fire button! Not really gunked up that bad yet though! I had 3-5mm chunks coming off Saturday. Lmao

Yeah.. that just can't be good to vape.. seriously. We quit smoking because it's healthier by far, but if your inhaling burnt crap off nasty coils your closing the gap I would think..

I would still consider a cleaning and rewicking daily..

These are a almost month old. I use clear juice but still rewick every couple days. Tastes so much better.I like less wicking too. Lets the air get to the coils.

I wish I did not love my macchiato so much... I burned through 70mls of it in a week. The coils in my alpine that I use for driving loaded up with my apple cinnamon muffin looks like your coils after 3 weeks.

I know... i made the mistake of ordering the Minikin on Thursday night. This has been a long week.
Ughhhh! I ordered a double barrel from Roadside and some batteries from RTD, priority mail ( or as usps views it, in a week or so we MIGHT drop it off)
