SMOK Osub 80w baby kit keeps getting burned coil

[hoqq7]

So ive been using this vape for about a month or so and lately after round 2 puffs you can feel the coil getting burned, or if u do a hard hit. I normally run the vape at 55 - 65w and with a 0.4 Ω coil. The vape liquid is E-Fast Pink Lemonade. Any ideas why this could be happening?

With pre-made coils I find that manufactures inflate wattage ranges on a consistent basis. Try running them at 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 watts respectively until you find a range that gives you a satisfying yet non-burning vape. It may nag you that you are not running to "spec" but you'll get over it.

Thanks, i find that 35w is good enough

Excellent. You'll probably also find that pre-made coils vary in quality over different production runs and will need to adjust accordingly.

This is my second vape so i don't have much experience with vapes and the last one was a vape pen, do you think that swapping out the coil with the other included coil would make a difference?, Thanks !

You also might try thinning out your ejuice a little with some water so it flows better to the coil. You can add up to 10% without much difference in taste.

1. Coils don't last forever, and as a coil gets used, it's performance will drop and that can be one of the symptoms.
2. When replacing a coil, make sure to COMPLETELY saturate the new coil with liquid before assembling and filling the tank.
3. With a new coil, turn the wattage down for the first several puffs to make sure it is wicking properly before tuning it back up.
4. If this is happening with a brand new, properly saturated coil, remove the coil and use something small and sharp to gently rake at the wicking to try and thin it out JUST a LITTLE, then retry it.

Well... Most of the kits I've seen include coils of different resistance or material so show the capability of the device and topper. Swapping out the coil my help if they are of identical material and resistance. On the other hand swapping out the coil could make things worse. ...or better.
