Some help

[Adebx]

Hi everyone
I want some help
I buy smok Alien 220W before month ago
Everything was good but Suddenly I felt a burning taste and a sting
I thought the reason was the coil but the coil is almost new and I did not use it for only two weeks, so I changed it with the new that is inside the box ...but the bad and burning taste still there
I noticed after dismantling the tank that the O-Rings not exist on the part of tank so is this the reason ? Or something else?
I will upload a pic
Thank u

Did you remember to prime the coil?
And start lower wattage and slowly increase it?

What is the vg/pg ratio of your juice?

Edit: Also forgot to mention that the new one could also be a dud coil.
And burned coil flavor can sometimes stick to the tank, so remember to clean it

You stated you used the first coil for two weeks, pretty standard depending on how much you vape, for example my coils last only for a week mostly due to heavily vaping.

What wattage are you using and what coil?

Yes i start lower wattage slowly
And my juice is Bazooka Watermelon
I already cleaned the tanks more than once and its still not good even with the new coil

And you primed it?
If so, its probably a dud coil.

Edit: Meaning you dropped a bit juice directly on coil, fill the tank, let it sit 10+ minutes and take a few pulls without firing.

What dud coil mean?

It means the faulty coil.
This is a main reason that I really don't like pre-made coil. The quality is not stable.
Did you notice the resistance of your coil? Is it stable or jump around?
Is the resistance of the new coil equal to your old one?

I dont know the 2 coils original by Smok
everything was good since the O-Rings lost

I see, maybe without this silicone gasket your coil will travel down to far so maybe the positive pin of the coil will touch the base instead of the positive of 510 pin. You can try to replace a new gasket or just turn back the coil a little bit.

^^^ This.

The video below is for a different tank and coil, but the techniques are applicable for ANY tank.

I'm a bit confused you said there's a missing o ring somewhere and the problem started then? Unless it was ON the coil (in which case, replace the coil) you should have some spare O-rings in your tank box (hopefully, I've never vaped a smok tank, so I am not 100% CERTAIN they have replacement O-rings but they should so replace the O-ring. If you are unlucky enough to have no spares, measure the diameter of where the O-ring goes and buy replacement somewhere like online or if you can't wait I think you can probably find them in some hardware stores etc. You should also (if you have another tank) take look at the O rings in it, and well, if one is close enough in size, use it.

Best of luck and welcome.
