Hi,
I am using this Innokin Endure T20 device which they sold me as a starter kit. It's ok, I have no complains yet as a new e-cig user I am so very confused about how to use it.
As far as I understand the coil is something must be replaced periodically with the new one, right? So when will I know it's time to do it and how will I find the proper coil for this?
Going to a store is not an option for me as I live in Turkey and there is no any store here, I have to buy it online. I checked on fasttech.com yet I can't see any coil specifically manufactured for EnduraT20, yet there is for T18 and 22. Would they fit for mine too?
I am doing online research for hours but it only made me more confused.
I would be grateful for any advise...

There was a review posted in another thread that said the T18/T22 coil is compatible with the T20 coil. However, I did extensive research after reading that and found they are listed in all online sites as not compatible. I also found a review that said they are not compatible, and in fact a different length. A comparison of photos seems to indicate that. I might be wrong, but I believe the T20 coil only fits the T20 and the T18/T22 coil only fits the T18/T22. Unless there is definitive proof somewhere that they are interchangeable, I would only order the T20 coil for the T20 just to be safe.

You need to order t20 coils from gearbest, fasttech or aliexpress. From my experience of living in Turkey, its better to get via aliexpress because they refund you if you will not be able to receive your order due to stupid customs there. If you need more info in Turkish send me a pm

I'm in the USA and I use MYVaporStore which will give you the correct atomizer to buy for that device. I get very long delivery times from Fastech and the above site is much faster for me, Fasttech usually has the best prices though.
The coil when it heats up the E liquid can heat up things that turn to caramel and then upon further heating change to carbon. The carbon build up blocks the coil heat and you do not get as much vapor and flavor. Increased use of the coil ends up in a burnt taste. Time to change the coil.

I'm not sure about the T20 coil, because it is a completely different design than the T18/T22. But my last coil in my T22 went 16 days and could have gone longer. I changed it because I was taking apart and cleaning my unit. Pretty constant use with 70vg and clear non sugary flavors.

Although i can't help you with coil replacements (i don't have the model you have)
I can easily say you will know when it's time to change it, you get less vapor,muted taste up until a kinda rubbery/burnt taste which clearly indicates it's time to change it. There's lots of threads and videos saying you can and should recycle those factory coils but i just don't bother (tried it with a smok coil didn't work really well anyway).

Thank you Carl:) I've been googling today and found a post in Turkish about fasttech. They are saying that fast tech could trick the customs in Turkey. Unfortunately we have that problem here...

Me too, I am using a non sugary tobacco flavor with 70VG. Do you mean this is a good choice for a long lasting coil?

Thank you, I'll check these videos. I found and watched one about EnduraT20 where the guy vaped, vaped and vaped again for 7 mn :-x

Here's what is inside the T18/T22 coil. Dual element with lots of Japanese cotton. I don't know what is in the T20. But the T18/T22 has 20 wicking holes. The T20 looks much different.

Wow.. Thanks for showing it. I wouldn't dare to open mine :blink:
Vaping is too hard for the beginning.. I thought all I had to do was pushing a button.

Go ahead and take yours apart. I'd like to see what's in there. Just pop off the silicone seal on the end. Then with a tiny screw driver or big paper clip pull the insides out. Don't get discouraged. You did the right thing. The T18, 20, and 22 are specifically designed for ex smokers. And all 3 you just push a button and vape. I know nothing about the T20. It's Innokin so it's prob a good product. I like the T18/22 because of the coil and how the device mimics smoking. Plus the coils are cheap. Ordered 5 five packs from FT- came out to $1.18 a coil. Even online they are only $1.75 or so.

I'll do that as soon as I get my 2nd device I promise! I really don't want to go back smoking again and if something goes wrong with my device I would have to do that:( It's embarrassing to admit but I am a hardcore smoker or used to be...

Most of us on this board were too. What are you getting for a second device?
