I just burned through my first coil on my KangerTech Evod 2, and I started wondering if there was anyway to extend the life of a coil. Do big hits, or small hits make a considerable difference? Just wondering because ultimately it can either reduce or increase the overall cost of vaping.
Considering getting the Sensis but wondering if the coil +, refresh and f0 modes really do improve coil life. I would probably use the adapter with the zenith tank as well as the pod so especially interested to hear anyone’s experience using it this way and whether you’ve seen the life of your coils noticeably increase. Thanks
I've been using 50/50. What's the best to use to extend the life of the coils? I get huge clouds with the 50/50 and am using a light colored juice. I get about a week out of a coil, could go longer but like a fresh coil. My friend had the same juice but 70vg/30pg and I found after the first hit it just does not seem to wick the best unless I let it sit a while.
im using an atlantis 2 with the .3 ohm coil and im using it on an eleaf istick 50 watt. my first coil from the pack was good. then went that burned out i put in a new coil and it keeps dry hitting. So i changed the coil. Dry hits on that one too. And on a third coil. Same liquid as i was using with the wattage at about 47-50. Why would it be dry hitting like this? also, it seems to be getting way too hot at those wattages
It seems like the only rta coil builds that don't give me dry hits are standard spaced coils. Every time I try to do the coils that touch I get dry hits. Why is this? And why do people press the coil together in the first place? faster ramp up time? Frustrating!!!!
Two issues I wanted to fix. The first is the battery run time using the low ohm coils. Second is when the e-liquid gets to the top of the sub ohm coil housing in the Kangertech I've noticed a lot of dry hits when heavy vaping, ( I like a higher VG juice. ) I would find myself closing the air intakes and sucking hard to get the wick saturated, ( a real pain in the ***. )
NOTE: I like an airy hit and run the air intake ports full open.
So here's what I did.
I've drilled the wick holes out to 3.5mm in the Kangertech coil housing. Then built a 1.1 ohm coil with 4 strands of 32ga. kanthal, ( twisted together first ), 5 wraps around a 3.47mm screwdriver. The coil was very springy to work with but got a bit stiffer after torching t closed to 1/4" width using adjustable tweezers. I used regular ball cotton for the wick in this experiment. The coil came in at 1.1 ohm.
Primed the wick and filled tank with a little bit of juice, just below the top of the coil housing.
All I can say is WOW. The first 10 hits taste a bit crappy but after the break in, WOW.
Taste and vapor production are great. There's a bit of crackle but no pops. Crackle I don't mind, Pops I mind. The ClouporT8 counted 75 hits and now the e-juice level is just above the wicking ports by a hair and still working great with full open air intake ports.
I will add post after I've used this set up for awhile.
Curious what other think!

Hey guys whats up. Well I had gotten the Sub Mini tank, the first tank I got was a dud. I had nothing but issues with it since day one. Coils went bad in 1.5 days both coils, then the rba deck was giving my sigeili issues and errors.
So I sent it back, They replaced it, and I now have Version 2 as they say. This tank has 2 air slots and different Holes in the tank. I used the Stock .5 coil but was just getting wayyyy too many dry hits.. So I went to the RBA deck, been using the coil that came with it, and I have 100% organic cotton. So I been using that, but now I am getting Dry hits with this thing!!! every 4th hit Is Dry!! I have to cover the holes and pull to get teh cotton wet again, and then 4th hit shes dry again.
What is going on here? Anyone else have issues like this? I am really getting fed up with this and ready to just throw it away. What can I do about the situation or why is this happening?

I’ve been vaping the same 2 mods for over a year and 1/2. They are Geekvape Aegis 100watt with Cerberus tanks. I use a couple of tank fulls per day. Lately I’ve been getting short battery charge life regardless of new coil or not, old batteries or new. I recently changed from .3 to .2 ohm coils, does that make a difference? Do these things wear out? I thought the only thing that ever needed replacing was the coil. I have 6 of the same unit in stock. Is it time to replace and pitch?
Today I discovered one tank wasn't giving me much of a hit no matter what so, although I thought it might be too soon, I decided to replace the coil. Unfortunately before I did I had turned up my MVP 20w to about over 7 and I burned some juice?
After I replaced the coil I indeed began getting good hits again and turned down the MVP. But what can I do to avoid this in the future since some tanks cook better than others and I keep forgetting which levels I have them at.
And how do I get that burnt taste out of the tank? Thanks!
Hi all,
I'm coming off a 2 pack a day smoking habit and have been vaping for about 3 weeks now.
I purchased the Caliburn G as this device seems like one of the best for nicotine salts.
They said nicotine salts is the best way to get off smoking and its helped a lot so far.
I'm on 30ml nic salts per 100ml bottle and I've got my smoking down to 3-6 cigs a day.
My question pertains to coil life.
If I chain vape, will this affect coil life ? And to what degree will it affect it ?
I've had to change the coil every 5-6 days so far, but from what I've researched, it is because of my chain vaping habit.
Can the coil last about 8-10 days if I don't chain vape, or is this pushing it ?
Also, is it normal for the liquid in the pod to become a dark brown / black colour after a few days ?
Thanks,
Andy
I am new to vaping. I am starting out on a kanger protank mini3. I recently replaced the coil, cleaned it, reassembled and changed out the juice. My problem is that every few hits, it tastes really bad. I read that it could be a dry hit, so I tried to work on that. I did dry burns and primed it without pressing the button. I even loosened the coil slightly making sure it had good air flow. I am completely befuddled. It's not constant, just every 6-8 hits it so. Any advice would be sooo appreciated. Thanks!
