Target mini trouble After my first coil burnt out I thought it would be a really simple change howev

hi everyone

My partner recently bought me a target mini so I could have a little vape for the car. And I loved it. So smooth and such a clear flavour but now I'm having nothing but trouble with the coils.

After my first coil started to burnt out after a couple weeks I thought it would be a really simple change. however, after putting in a brand-new coil and priming it there was nothing but harsh burnt smoke so I assumed that maybe a dud coil

I bought another pack of coils and tried again well, now I'm four coils into my pack of five and every single one has burnt In minutes

I have primed the coil and left it for up to 10 hours in the last instance.
I have turned the temperature and the wattage right down and gradually built up to an amazing.... 22w before it burns
Before turning it on and I've taken some "dry puffs" to help the juice work through

It's the exact same iuice I used in the first coil too
I'ce vapes for two years almost so I tho Got by now I could prime a single coil

What the frig am I doing wrong here?

What ohm are the coils and what is the pg/vg ratio of your juice?

What ohm are the coils and what is the pg/vg ratio of your juice?

Coil is 0.5 and the vg/pg of this juice is 70/30

Just a thought, you didn't tip the juice from the tank back into the bottle after you burnt out the first coil, did you?

If you did, the burnt taste could be coming from tainted juice.

Nah I didn't

It's not even like a burnt tasting vape
It's harsh and choking smoke

I notice you mentioned temperature and wattage. Have you got the mod in the correct mode for the coils you are using? (long 2 sec press on the mode button changes modes)

not seen this one before but looking at the pdf the coil is th CCELL-GD SS 0.5Ω coil preinst
so im guessing stainless steel.
as @speedfreek67 pointed out you mentioned temperature. if you are using in TC mode then as this is a SS coil it might be worth a try in wattage mode only to see if they last longer.
i tried TC once and found it naff so only use wattage myself.
