Why Does my Nickel wire turn black after vaping for a day?

[EciggLearner]

i have heard that nickel wire are suppose to remain super clean even after a week but just after a day mine has turn black in the middle. I am currently using a ipv4s, Mad Hatter vaping at 0.12ohms

.12 ohms....the extreme heat

Don't think heat has anything to do with this...It's a temp controlled mod right? (Nickel wire)

The discoloration would be from the juice you are using...typically the sweeter and/or the darker the liquid, the more the coil gets gunked.

Gunked up juice on it. Your Kanthal builds do the same, in case you haven't noticed.

What temp setting are you vaping at and is the juice a very sweet or dark colored juice? I set my temps anywhere from 450 to 500 degrees and I notice that when the juices I'm vaping tends to be on the sweeter side, the black caramelization will build up on the coil oretty quickly. It doesn't seem to affect the vape much and the coil will easily last me a week or more before the vape starts to degrade because the coil is too gunked up.

i am vaping at 420F at 40J. i was more concern about the health issues, yea i am vaping alot of sweet juices.

By the way folks, that was sort of a joke, just forgot to attach an emoticon . It would more than likely be the juice the OP is using..... But, on the other hand high heat certainly wouldn't help. All metals will discolor with enough heat applied. But, in the case of nickel, it's likely the juice, especially after only a day.

So OP excuse my kidding around.

There really isn't anything to worry about. When the coil gets gunked up like that the caramelized juice will essentially act as an insulator so once it gets really bad, you will notice that the taste becomes off or the coil won't generate as much vapor as it did before. That is a sign that you need to rebuild the coil.

that's why you have to change the coil

If you mean dry burn, don't do that with nickel.

If you are worried about that gunk coming off the coil and being inhaled, don't worry. That gunk will not come off without a lot of heat. A lot

but i have been seeing the black particles on the wick like just after a day of vaping? and its at 40 J 0.11ohm and 380f of TC is that considered alot

On a side note, the fact that it is caramelizing the juice from the middle first shows your build is firing correctly.

That's what it does with sweet eliquids. You'd have to suck like a shop vac to get those sticky bits off the coil and wick.
