Many times, you will be going about your business, not meaning anyone any harm, and then you’ll taste the burnt flavour in your mouth. Usually, it takes you by surprise. Why did this happen to you? What have you done to deserve this? Our previous blog discussed the two main culprits of burnt coils. Burnt coils are the reason for the metallic taste. Here we are going to discuss some more reasons.
There are two public enemies, number one and two, when it comes to burnt coils: too much chain vaping and not priming your coils, but you should be aware that your coil may burn out more quickly than it should due to other factors.
Although these factors do not often cause coil burnout, remember that vape devices can have various problems, and your coil from an online vape shop may burn out for a combination of reasons.
High Power Vaping
The coils of your vape device can be damaged by using high-power vaping. Overly-high power levels (measured in Watts) will cause your coils to pop or fail more quickly if you are operating at levels above the recommended power levels. The e-liquid is also vaporized more quickly at higher temperatures, which results in the wick being unable to absorb the vapour.
If you are taking too many puffs from your vape, the wick may become dry and burnt as a result. It is important to ensure that the Wattage or Voltage settings of the device you are currently using are not set too high – especially if you enjoy chain vaping and taking long puffs.
Also, this is one of the most common problems that occur when vaping at a low voltage. You might want to consider upgrading your tank system if you enjoy vaping at a higher intensity. If you prefer vaping at a higher intensity, you might also consider switching to an atomizer with a built-in drip tip.
Vape Juice Running Low
Are you the type of person who squeezes every last drop out of your tank before you refill it? That might damage your coils in the long run. When your tank is empty or nearly empty, it can cause your wick to be left without enough juice to soak up, causing it to burn.
The temptation to let the liquid level run to the bottom when you are near the end of your e juice might be alluring, but if you see that the juice does not cover the input holes of your coil, you run the risk of saturating your e juice.
Your best bet is to keep your tank full at all times so that it covers the input holes on the coil’s side.
To change the taste of the juice, simply stop vaping it and pour what’s left into the bottle, then insert your new juice (or combine the two flavours in your tank). You should ensure that you don’t let your e-juice tank go below about a quarter full if you can’t easily see how much liquid you have left.
Your vape juice choice
There are many theories on why juices with a higher VG content tend to be denser than predominantly PG-based vape juices. Some vape juices cause coils to clog up and can become a problem. As a result, juices with high VG content and juices containing lots of sugar have a tough time being properly diluted.
High VG vape juices have a higher viscosity and are harder to absorb, so the wicks in coils are more likely to fail. We recommend that you stick with lower VG vape juice (below 70%) or upgrade your tank system to one that has a better wicking system.
You may experience similar problems with your coil if your e-liquid is very sweet. As it heats up, sugary e-liquids can become caramelized and block the coil from absorbing more juice from the vape juice. As a result of the buildup of gunk on the coil, you might also notice changes in the flavour of your juice. This is unfortunate since sometimes the best flavours can also kill the coil.
Conclusion
Burnt coils are not unusual. This is especially true for chain vapers, but if you take care of the points mentioned above, you will save your hard-earned money and won’t need to buy coils again and again.
