For your entertainment (and remember it’s my very first coil) so be kind ;)...I went and got it out of the trash.
Doesn't look all too bad, would be good to see how it sits in the atomizer and how far it is from the airhole.
The shiny bottom is hit directly by the air but the crusty top doesn't get good airflow, different positioning could get you a better performance.
Sooner or later your coil will get gunky but you can make sure it's "later".

My Shiny Toy. I’m loving it!! I can’t believe I haven’t needed to swap out the batteries on this mod yet. It’s been over 24 hours of all day vaping and the batteries aren’t even at half discharge.

By the by... does anyone know how to turn Off a SX Mini or does it just hibernate like a DNA mod. I’ve watched more videos than I ever wanted to trying to find out if it turns off LOL!

At least you all get your package. My DHL one disappeared and now they're doing some "research" for a couple weeks, I took a stupid 40 min bus and tram ride to an electronics shop to buy my stuff in time. Bunch of muppets.

Oh man that bites! How long has it been missing?
I’ve been fortunate that none of my shinys coming in vape mail disappeared. If anything I’ve received all my toys BEFORE the expected arrival date. Even from Fasttech!

Is it the sweetener in the juice that does that???? I’m going to have to diy if it makes coils look like that. That is nasty :yawn:
does it taste burnt or overly sweet? Sweet juices can do that. Coil position also makes a big difference. I have had a few that caramelized the wicks on me even with a competition cap. If sweet juice is the reason your drop in coils probably looked like that but you just couldnt see it. DIY will definitely improve that. Even juice I make that I consider sweet never really caramelizes or builds up carbon on the coils.

Maybe a touch less cotton and drop a watt or two or open af a bit more. What juice are you using?
Airflow is wide open (innokin ares, only tank to get here so far)... the juice is a fig/cucumber/hibiscus/honeysuckle juice.

Less cotton? I cut a strip about 1/8-1/4” off the sheet... had that coil 1.04 ohms at 12 watts. Already a cool temp vape

So a sweet juice. Play with coil position and wicking, might be able to get you an extra day or two before needing to clean or recoil. Wire is cheap, when I was still using single wire builds I usually just wrapped another coil.
