Priming Problem

[Matt1990]

Might not be a bad plan, come back to the Smok.
Grab an MTL maybe. I would def recommend the Kroma A / Zenith.

I had a MTL to begin with cant remember what make now but i tried about 15-20 different liquids and couldn't taste anything. The only thing I got was the menthol feeling off some juices but no flavour at all which was why I was keen to try the smok.

Can definitely taste the juices through that, when it's not burning that is lol

youve tried everything so im wondering if they could be fake coils or from a bad batch so even though youve bought more they could still be the same batch.
if you do buy more then maybe find another shop.

might be worth mentioning the area you live in as someone might be local and might be able to help you out.

this might come in handy if you want to buy online. post 5 for hardware suppliers POTV Vendors & Recommended E Liquid Suppliers

The coils I bought tonight came from a different shop than ones i usually use for this reason. I'm in stoke on Trent and there's probably about 10 vape shops I know of within a 10-15 minute drive from where I live. There's 3 within a 5 minute walk from home.

they could all be buying from the same wholesaler then or its just smok coils being even more shitier than they used to be.

I'm not sure, all I know is all the ones I've purchased are useless. Is there such a thing as a non cotton coil or alternative of some sort? I can't use the ones I've been buying so just want try forget I ever bought them and try find a coil that i will actually be able to use.

Thanks again

Are you firing your coils too high(watts) or running in variable voltage / temp mode by mistake or something crazy like that? The ratio of bad coils seems to be extremely high, i can't imagine the odds work out for that many coils to go wrong in such rapid succession. There's got be some other variable or something off that someone hasn't covered, beyond coils going bad in an instant despite all the changes you've made trying to work the issue.

sounds like you are having problems with the smok coils and for what you have spent on coils already if i was in your shoes i would bite the bullet and try another tank you can pick them up fairly cheap nowadays it could also be the juice you are using might high ratio of sweetners etc

if you have 10 vape shops in town im sure one of them will have something decent in stock for around £20-25 maybe even under £20.00 most tanks you buy nowadays come with 2 coils and a spare bubble glass to up the juice limits from 2 ml to anything up to 6ml.

If anything I've been running it lower than recommend, especially during the priming. Worked up from about 20w where nothing happens, the first sign of anything is the burned taste. As for running it in another mode I highly doubt it as I've never changed it from watt, due to not knowing what difference it makes. Definitely something wrong with it, what it is I have no idea. Really starting to annoy me now though.

If buying another is the only option left I'm going to continue smoking due to costs. If I buy another Il be on my third since boxing day and smoking was only costing me about £11 per week due to rolling my own and having regular trips overseas. As for juices I've got 3 different types now, all varying pg/vg ratios, flavours and nicotine strengths. Two of which I know were for certain were ok as I'd been using them up until this point. I'm not convinced buying anything cheaper is going to be any better if this is the issue I'm having with a more well known brand/product.

Was doing well not smoking till everything went wrong, starting to feel like vaping was a wasted albeit expensive attempt to quit.

Might be worth putting cost aside cos you can't put a price on your health.
