Hi all advice needed pls I'm currently vaping through pro tanks using 2.4 ohm but the coils need dry burning every day & renewing every 3/4 days or the vapour / taste goes , I'm vaping grumpys hooch in one & hol virginia prime in the other is it the juice I'm using or sumit else ,like the way I drag I'm using a vamo @ 7.5
 
Depending on the juice I use, I normally clean and burn a standard atty about every 15ml and only ever renew the coils when they 'pop' which is usually about 3 months on average. Something doesn't seem right ? Are you sure you are cleaning / burning them properly ?

hi I just rinse them under a warm tap dry em off then pulse dry em till the coil glows red currently doing this for every 3/4 mils juice
 
HOL juice, whilst being some of my favourite juice is the world ever, will gunk your coils in no time at all, I think it is common amongst tobacco steeps.
I use HOL mainly in my spheroid, and I'd say, for my own pleasure of vape, I would coil it anywhere after one and a half to three days use, depending on how much I am vaping on it.
 
You're right to query it as that is never right.

Are the coils completely black and gunked ? Is it happening on more than 1 coil ? Do you take apart the whole thing and clean the air holes? Have you tried the same juice on a different tank ? Are you using the Vamo in RMS setting ? Do you hold the fire button for a half a second before and after vaping ? Did you get the PT and coils from a UK vendor ? How many mls are you vaping a day ? What's the VG content of the juice ?

Sorry, for all the questions but I'm just trying to narrow down the options. SB

yes coils always black n gunked up it does it to every coil ,air holes? No idea (novice) tried on 3 tanks same result yes vamo on rms, no I press the fire button on vaping & release immediately after dragging yeah pt & coils from a vendor that uses this site
 
I use HOL juices and they gunk my coils like nobody's business. I use evods mainly.
 
As Merino-Teflon said those juices do gunk up quicker than most but unless you're using really heavy VG in the mix or vape or loads of juice a day that's never right. You say they need cleaning every day - I used to vape fairly heavy VG tobacco type juices and probably about 6ml a day which I believe is quite a bit and they'd still last me at least a couple of days ???????
 
Remember it's not how often they are changed but among other things what the VG content is and how many mls go through the tank.
