Joyetech Egrip Burnt ?

Some of you may be familiar with the problems I've encountered the past couple of months trying to find a vaping unit that works well for me. I think my problems are solved. I've been using a Joyetech Egrip for two days and I'm thrilled and delighted. No tanks to fool with, it's built in. It gives a wonderful smooth hit. It's 20 watts and you can actually vape at full 20 without worrying if your coil is going to fry. You have to use the replacement coils, 1.5, designed by Joyetech, can't use generics. It holds almost 4 ml of juice so you can fill er up and you're good for the day. I could go on and on, but suffice to say this little unit is AWESOME. If you're into simplicity, not into building your own and fooling with a lot of different tanks etc then you should check it out.

Its $69.99 everywhere except I found one place selling it for $49.99, Vape NW. I just ordered a second color. They also sent me a 17 ml bottle of juice (I asked if they could send me a "sample" of one of the juices they carry.)  

my tank's been on a leak streak. relatively new and still on first coil. haven't bought back ups yet, since i'm not sure it's a keeper.

I had to chain at high wattage (for coil) to get the gurgling to stop. might;ve burnt it. no dry hits thus far_ well kind of one... but mainly been bitter after today's fiasco.. i did fire it without inhaling a bit too.

the only discernible thing is a bitter taste sticking. is that an indicator of coil being burnt (didn't happen on my gear)?  

I'm having trouble with my Jem Pen E cig - hopefully someone can help me.

I take the coil out clean the tank and battery area, put it back in with liquid + prime the coil. for about 5 minutes it tastes fine and is vaping as normal. then a really horrible burnt taste comes in which is unbearable to smoke and making my throat hurt.

I take the coil out and clean again, put more liquid. the same thing happens! it tastes absolutely fine again and then gets burnt.
any idea why this is happening ? the device gets quite hot too...
i don't think the coil is the issue because why does it taste fine for a few mins?
I've ordered new coils so going to try that but worried its the device. i've only had it for 2 weeks and changed the coil about 5 days ago.  

Since I have a box of the Aspire 2.1ohm BVC's in my possession I've been wanting to use the coils in my eGrip ever since I found a few videos on Youtube showing how easy it is. But, I've only read and seen egrip users using the 1.6 or 1.8ohm version. I was wondering if anyone in here has tried this out or is currently using them I the eGrip. Pros? Cons?...just wondering  

I recently bought a joyetech egrip for something small but powerful to keep in my pocket at work. I like it but is limited by battery and airflow. Is there anything similar (mod and tank one piece) that is more powerful or has changeable batteries? The only thing I have found was one made by Yiloong the pinnochio mod - 18650 battery 40 watt 2015 Yiloong Creative Box Mod Pinocchio Mod Like Castigador Box For Genesis Atomizer - Buy Pinocchio Mod Product on Alibaba.com . I cant find this in any store online.  

I've got one that has me puzzled. I went through two fills of my Aerotank V2 with Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey when it started to taste burnt. I figured no big deal, let me change the coil and clean the tank and all will be well. Well, new coil and cleaned tank and about 4 drags in it tastes burnt again. Thinking maybe I have a bum coil I try another one. Same deal.
I'm at a loss. It's the same bottle of liquid, same tank (cleaned each time), same battery (iStick 50w), same wattage (8.9), same resistance (1.2 ohm). Anyone have any clue what's could be causing this? It's getting expensive in coils and liquid!

Thanks  

I just got a brand new 1.5 ohm coil for my mini protank 3 and it tastes burnt how could this be? Are some coils bad when you open the package?  

So I purchased the eGo One after hearing amazing reviews of the device. I use an Aspire Atlantis on an MVP 3 but needed something more portable for work/going out. I was more than impressed with the eGo One using the .5 ohm coil, and equally so with the 1 ohm coil. The battery life is great, the flavour is perfect and the vapor production is unexpected. However, within 2 hours of using the .5ohm coil, the vapor began to taste burnt, more than on any other wick I have burnt. So until I could get hold of another I used the 1 ohm coil. 24 hours that one lasted. Joyetech said they would send me replacements free of charge, but while waiting for this I went to my local shop and bought another .5 coil. 1 HOUR LATER, it's frazzled. Wether I'm just being unlucky or the device is faulty I don't know, but I am incredibly disappointed. It's not through a lack of priming or using the wrong liquid, I'm an experienced vaper and had fully primed the wicks for 20minutes minimum and was using a 50/50 juice. This device had great potential, but it will be going in the bin for now (except the battery, which even does a great job on my Atlantis)  

I have my istick 50...have been using the subtank mini with rba n coils close to bout 1 ohm,good enuf,but get several burnt tasting hits,so local vape guy hooked me up with an dripper ..coil is .3 (need a wider bore tip now tho)nd I don't know what is wrong here but I'm using a 12mg juice nd not rly getting any vapor nd am coughing.I'm still getting the peach flavor he primed the cotton with n not my sugar cookies ..I'm not sure yet the 12 is too strong nd I don't want tht to happen cuz as of now all I have is 12s with 6more I've ordered on the way.Definitely not getting burnt taste but idk.do I need a higher wattage mod? I don't care for clouds but I'm getting real small ones right now which just doesn't seem right. .3ohm 50w(being the max) 12 mrgoodvape moon sugar juice...feeling lost here...not at the shop now nd he's very informative but I feel like I'm missing something,he built the coils n set the drip up for me nd it's all fine,idk maybe for a drip I need over 50w n less than 12mg....I have a 6mg of the same juice just in case as well tho too so...absolutely new to dripping but not sure if it's my device needing to b higher capable or what...which is why I put this in general vaping n not rebuildable anything forum cuz I'm generally looking for ideas on juice mg the bore of my tip,power of device,so it's multiple things on my mind...ideas plz  

So....my lemo was my #1 RTA, until I got the subtank mini and delta 2 (although I haven't tried the delta 2 yet, but have heard very good things about it). I have been sad, because I have put my lemo to the side, because my newer RTAs have more airflow. I would vape my lemo most of the time between 25-30 watts, and could get it up to about 38 watts without a dry/burnt hit. Anything over 40 would give me a dry/burnt hit, which is still impressive. (with my old wicking method)

Long story short, I decided to drill out my airholes on my lemo. I found another guy that had already done this, so I followed his bit sizes. He claims that he now vapes his lemo around 70-80 watts without dry/burnt hits. I had my wisdom teeth out about 3 days ago, so I can not vape as I usually do (in fear of getting a dry socket) so I have had to barely hit my tanks to vape. I hit the lemo, after modding it, last night, at 40 watts with a wussy vape and no dry/burnt hit at all. I can't wait to actually vape like I usually do and see how high in wattage I can go. By the way, I am trying something new and using Drip Trippers pancake wicking method on this as well, and a 0.78 build.

So here are the pics, with the sizes, if anyone wants to do this. It took me about 15 minutes:



4 External air holes (pic 1) - 3/32 drill bit



Vertical stem shaft air hole (pic 2) - 1/8 drill bit


Vertical stem 4 air holes (pic 3) - 3/32 drill bit
