Vision V2 Clearomizer Issues

[GinnyA]

So I am still pretty new to vaping, since the end of July, and have been using the Vision V2's with an EGO-T 900mah. How long should they last with heavy use? After about 3-4 days they don't vape as well and begin to turn my juice a dark color and sometimes burn my lips to use. Sometimes they will also get a burnt taste. I don't ever let it get below half empty before refilling. I vape Vapor Chef Tobacco #42 as my all day vape. It's not a real dark juice. Any ideas or suggestions how I can get longer use out of my clearos? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help!

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used the V2's myself, but in general if you're getting a burnt taste, or darkening your juice it means you're heating it too much. I believe you are using a fixed voltage battery, so the easy way to control your wattage is to pulse your fire button on and off while taking a puff. This will allow the coil to cool a bit and draw in more juice so you get vapor without burning up the juice.

If you're looking forward to Christmas presents (or Christmas sales...) an eGo twist or another VV APV it would make adjusting the power and heat a bit easier.

Are you cleaning and dryburning them regularly? That would help some. You can replace the heads inside them when they are too far gone or rebuild.

On top coils you'll get a burnt taste if you don't often turn them sideways to re-wet the wicks. And I mean like every two vapes. It should last longer than 3-4 days in my experience.

Thanks Stosh! I will be looking into and Ego Twist.

How often should I be cleaning and dry burning them? Also, what exactly is dry burning?

If your coils are tightening up after 4 days, would be best to drop the coil into a small container of high proof vodka after 3 days, let it soak overnight and remove and allow to dry. Dry burning is heating up the coil without any liquid until red to burn off any residue, but if you control the voltage and power there shouldn't be much, and it shouldn't be necessary.

Another way to clean coils that I use is to drip enough unflavored VG or PG on to flood it, heat it up with your battery and blow the excess liquid off it, rinse under running water. My coils in a Vivi-Nova generally last a month or two, with very little cleaning and never dry burning.
