How long does the stock coils last you guys?
Mine is less then a week old and my juice is starting to loose its flavor and vapor.
Was vaping @ 35w mostly but had to switch to 45w and above today after last refill of juice also had to drag harder then before for the same amount of flavor/vapor.

mine lasted almost 3 weeks before it needs changing..but im not a chain vaper, so..

Yes i do chain vape.. today i noticed the juice i left in the tank from yesternite which was suppose to be a very pale yellow tint became darker.. i think the stock coil wick is a goner... today the coil in subject is eaxtly 1 week old

The juice turning darker is due to the oxidization of sugar in the juice..no worries with that brudder as it is pretty normal.

As my friend above mentioned, 1 week+ is ok if you're chain vaping. You might want to try getting the RBA..can save a fair bit of money and can experiment on different types of builds.

I have uwell crown + occs + rba but havnt use yet...haha coz wanna research more on how to prevent leaking on using rba.

if u chain vape, 1 week + think is ok.. i rebuild my rba every 3-4 days, just like the taste of fresh coil or maybe im too free at night.

crown occ is around ND10 or 15? Not too sure..

Try this tip from @WarA mate. Works like a charm.

Pro-tip, crown just use 2.5mm diameter in the rba mount it facing down -o- instead of _o_ = no leak. Wicking wise just place the cap and cut to the top then stuff it down.

hmmm if thts the case.. tht makes me wonder about the vape quality issues ive been having for the last 2 days... if the coil is still usable as per info provided by u guys... then why is my juice tatsing weird these days... somtimes burnt sometimes ok. what gives?

This may help you. A pretty long post, but very very helpful for new Crown users.

Regarding the coils and how *I* get the most life out of them. A few tips I've learned after having this tank awhile:
  • Do NOT get liquid inside of the coils! Do not get overzealous with saturating the coils for a priming. Take your time and just soak the cotton from the outside liquid-feeds or the top of the coil head. If you over-saturate it from the top (of the coil head or even the tank itself and it runs down the center), twist a thin piece of tissue and run it down the middle of the coil and soak up some of the extra liquid. You can check to see if you over-saturated it by dry-pulling and checking for gurgles.
  • Refill your tank *before* the liquid gets to or below the "crown". I don't know why that works becasue the fill holes are lower and it should be all good, but it does work wonders for me. My theory is that with vaping and the occasional tilting of the mod, some parts of the liquid-feed are not getting fed well enough during a pull. Dunno exactly though.
  • When using the top-fill to refill (which I imagine EVERYONE does), try and stop your fill just shy of the of fill-slots. If you fill it too high and are touching the fill-slots, or even worse, above the slots, you'll get hella spit-back and it'll mess up the vape
  • If you empty out a tank and even immediately refill it, do not vape it right away. Wait a minute or two and if you are using a regulated device, back it off the wattage for a *few* pulls (as low as 1/3 lower) before cranking it back up. But only for a few pulls is what I've found necessary if in a rush (but I prefer to take my time with it).
  • If you use a regulated device and you start to get wonky hits (those hits where the coils sizzles after you hit it and tastes kinda burnt, back it off the wattage by about 1/3 and vape your way back up over the course of maybe half a tank). If the coil is *not* truly spent -- and you know it shouldn't be -- it will get its performance back.
  • If your coil starts acting wonky, do not try and power your way through that. Essentially "re-prime it," but without the soaking of the cotton part.
  • Breaking-in the coils is best at low wattages (of course), using short, hard-ish pulls. Do not take long drags even at lower wattages. These coils are great because with a little care, you can break them in successfully in about 5-10 minutes (or just about a 1/5 of a tank!!). Even with the .25Ω heads, I might begin at 25 watts and creep up 3-5 watts with about 3-5 quick pulls at each range until I get to my desired power. Though sometimes I really take my time breaking-in Crown heads because the vape is never actually nasty tasting (like a few other tanks).
  • My biggest tip for getting extraordinarily good life out for the coils is, if you have a hard :censored: hitting mechanical mod (*not* a hybrid-style), use your Crown on that! I have a fantastic mechanical mod and my coils last 2x as long (at least). I think becasue the power being delivered to it backs off ever so slightly with each successive pull, it doesn't stress the coils out. Since my mech is so efficient (JKuro Mod), I barely notice any difference in vape (aside from the life of the coils) as I do vaping it at a mid-high range on a regulated device (~70 watts). If you like to blast the coils with 85+ watts, this won't work for you so much.
  • If using a mech, I'd suggest breaking-in the coils when your battery is low.
p.s. If you disagree with anything I've said, we can agree to disagree. These tips I've learned are what have worked for me, saved me money and provided me with a much longer life of one coil. Hopefully this helps someone out there. Vape on. Vape well.

@ezjayy thanks for the info..

1) YES I AM GUILTY of priming the coil...lol
2) If your coil starts acting wonky, do not try and power your way through that. -- GUILTY AGAIN
On s side note.. if i vape with extra ventilation, leaving a gap between lips and tips(not covering the whole drip tip with lips) and pull hard.. it gets back to normal

Well, how do you think I knew NOT to do that stuff? Guilty! LOL. There's a few things I'd change about that post now, but there's so much info out that it's no biggie one way or the other.

@Mr.Mann
A good day to you. Thank you for sharing your exp on the crown!
Would be interested to know what you would change on that post since the tank is still very new to me.

:toast:

Haven't used it on a mech in forever. It works fine with lower than 70 VG (as low as 50/50). I refill it now and vape, but I still take short, hard pulls (and do NOT refill it above the fill-gate). Other than those things...oh, and after I refill it I don't back down the wattage either unless the coil acts wonky. All the rest is still pretty much my 'way'.
