What am I doing wrong?! Eleaf HW M2 coils

[Iftkhar Rashid]

I was wondering if maybe the juice was real sweet

Not vastly sweet to taste - like a pound store juive - but middle high I guess - strawberry/creamtype flava

Can only assume it's your juice. I use that coil regularly and they last me a good two weeks at 60w.

Try a different juice and see if the problem persists.

Ps on the juice - do you just use one juice for the duration - I'm often change em up - I guess that does a bit of damage?

hi bud i use the ello pop tank & the same coils as you, but i always break em in at about 25 w & creep upto 65w where the coil has lasted me upto 3 weeks with no issues.

Lesson learnt! Will be gentle with em from now on and see how I get on -
Would love to be a week long person lol - most I get is 4/5 days.

Again than you all for your knowledge n help

Ey up!
I understand my vape style is likely not coil life friendly (chain chugging)
So the story is as follows
Hw m2 Eleaf mesh coils.
Getting like 4 days max before burn taste

Not sure if it's the liquid I'm using 70/30 but say for example I popped a new one in yesterday as I was away for the day and didn't want it to fail.
By the evening its starting to get burny taste (harsh on throat too)
Primed, and left in there for a good amount of time so the cotton soaked through.
By this afternoon, just not usable, nasty burnt and throat harshness. I assumed on replacing I'd see a dutty brown *as coil, however looks good - clean no visible signs of burn out or clog?

What dya reckon? Kinda frustrated as I've gotten to forth coil now in 6 days!?

Other info - Ello Pop Tank , slide top fill, Eleaf istick mix, never thrashed above 50w (40-90 recommended)

Heeeeeeelp!

Hi mate. I use sweet juices that I mix myself, on average 12 drops per 100ml. But I still average 10 to 12 days out of a coil. Sometimes we hear people get a month to two months from a coil. But what isn't told is they use other tanks in rotation during that time and if they took that into account would really only be getting a week or two max with sweet stuff and a week more without it. Mine which I use are Innokin Plex, Advken mesh and Smoant Naboo. Occasionally a Crios. The Crios just lasts average 6 to 7 days but all the others 10 to 12. I only change them because the flavour drops below say 60%, not because they taste burnt. You mention chain vaping, some coils cannot take that. The Plex and Naboo can but the Advken cant. The Advken are pretty small but will last for the same as the other two if I dont chain vape. Most mods have a good time out for the screen that is around 30 seconds, some you can set and change. My Oceanus doesn't though. So if you get into the habit of waiting for the screen to go out before your next hit you may find your coil life extending considerably. Its quite possible its just your vaping style killing the coils and nothing else. Like I said, I use very sweet juice and my coils dont die that early.

The only time I really notice that changing fluids will burn up my coil is when I have been using a completely unsweet juice for a couple weeks on a coil, and then suddenly throw a sweet juice in it and screw the whole thing up lol bam

Did that this week actually. But had to live with it til I could get another coil 2 days later so dumped the sweet and put my hazelnut back in it and it wasn't so bad. But I did it as soon as it started to taste bad. But man she was black when I swapped her out!! Whew!

I do change it up occasionally but with different flavours from the same manufacturer so I don't know if that really counts.

I think if I was you I would put a fresh coil in. When you start to get the burnt taste take the coil apart and see where the problem is. Remove the mesh and cotton and check to see if the cotton is burnt where it makes contact with the mesh and check the mesh to see if it's coated in black on either side.

Cool thanks again all.
Yikes - slightly frustrated as it is a mega learning curve to get things working just right! Juice, ratio's, quality, sweetness, priming, breaking in...!
Best I've had so far are the Falcon Horizon with M2 coils and liquid wise (long coil life AND flavour satisfaction) is the Liquavape Sweetie range. That combo worked Doh just forked out ( way too much - B&M store) for some higher nic liquid ( so I vape less) and new M2 coils for the falcon tank as I'm a little fed up with the eleaf .
I'll get there

 

[Iftkhar Rashid]

Lol another mystery box on the way - but so far I found the Horizon tank n coils seemto deal with anything I've thrown at 'em

 

[Iftkhar Rashid]

Dang - I think it might just be that Strawberry ice cream joos.
Just killed off the Falcon coil too.
Still got them 2 other eleaf coils cause they looked visibly ok - will see if I run different juice through them they might pick up again!
