Hi all,
This is all about changing rebuildable coils (not sub ohm).
I Squonk and use NI coils, usually hand made aliens or handmade fused by builders as don’t build my own. I change cotton a couple of times a day due to either gunk of sweet juices on coil, or burnt cotton which again happens quick with sweeter juices.
However, was wondering when do some of you actually decide to change coils. Specifically NI80. It’s obviously not like subohm store coils that you have to change when flavour tastes burned as those contain cotton which have an easy to taste shelf life.
So when do you change them? Is it when they are a little blackened after 5-10 dry burns, or when very very black (maybe 50 dry burns), or when they lose their shape or notice the outer fuses are not straight anymore, or do you notice a flavour loss or a slight change of flavour being more bitter or burned (does that even happen on rebuildable coils?), or notice the middle ring is firing redder then other rings, or any other tell tell way to know it’s probably time to put in new coil? The cheaper Chinese machine made ni80 coils sometimes break when dry burning, so easy enough to know, but some good handmade ones seem to go on and possibly could for ever (although go blacker and blacker over time). Is flavour or performance better on brand new coils or is that rubbish.. or do you just change coils in case they may break whilst using a mech for safety reasons? Or do you just change coils to try different types (not an issue for me as have multiple rdas in rotation).
Second questions, Is vaping on very black coils (obviously dry burned and cleaned multiple times) more dangerous to your health then vaping fresh ni80 coils?
Would love to hear comments on this.
Many thanks.
