Triton Replacement coils unraveled?

[julielynne]

just opened a pack of new coils for my triton for first time...does it matter if they are unraveled some right out the pack? is it a defect or should i be ok? The ones that came with the tank were in tact completely.

thanks everyone

I've noticed the same thing...burnt tastes and the such. I'm new to recoiling but thinking I'm figuring it our... Just got my clone waiting on my attys. so if I can't figure these tritons I'm a little qorried

Bought these from halo. No knock offs. Hoping it's not going to be a problem. Just changed a couple tanks coils for first time.

Hey Julielynne, I've had the intact and unraveled coils. It doesn't change anything to me. The strands are still in and on the coil so the wicks still draw the juice into the coil. I've never noticed a difference in vapor or flavor.

Thanks for the response evie

if it really bothers you, you can reweave the silica strands yourself. Otherwise there is no difference in preformance if they have come unraveled or not, the only "issue" is that with them unraveled a bit, they can be a bit more of a pain to get past the center post not clear the threads when you screw the coil down.

I agree. I'm a bit OCD about such things, and I take the time to retwist the wicks. It takes a bit of time, but oh well.

And my trick is this, useful for just cleaned coil heads. I taste the ends of the wick. If I detect flavor, I re-rinse or soak or whatever.

And if no flavor, then the wet tips make it easier to get it into the tank. I'm not too concerned with the scant amount of juice I might taste. (I've gotten bigger drops from condensate buildup). Nor am I concerned with the little bit of saliva on the wicks.

You can buy the silica wicks and just replace them as needed. The top flavor wick is easy, but the coil wick is tougher. See Joe13's thread about recoil/rebuilding to see how to get the wick in.

Enjoy your Triton. And be glad. For every question or problem you have with the Triton, others using those other devices have 10.

When I replace top coil atomizer heads my little trick is to turn it clockwise until the threads catch a little, then back it out a tiny bit counter-clockwise to straighten out the wicks, and then I go back to turning it clockwise to tighten it down.

the left foot in, left foot out, shake it all around...thats what its all about.

Unraveled wicks-not a bad thing unless they get super gnarly
Unraveled Wheez's brain-pretty normal (*see his comment above-proof is in the puddin, and bacon but we won't go there)

You can re-twist them and hit them with a small torch for a couple of seconds to make them stay. They're silica and you won't harm or burn them. They may actually wick MORE efficiently when frayed a bit...more contact area with your juice.
