Zeus tank z0.25 Dual Coil - only 350 puffs

[ScotlandsBest]

Take a puff.
Unscrew the tank.
Take another puff.
If that is helping it's a vaccum issue and a bubble glass will solve it.

Nah just done it and the bubbles remain, they have been there for 10 minutes. The only way to get rid of them is to tilt the whole tank to relevel the juice and get the space filled up again.

So bubbles are the problem now?

Bubbles have been the problem from the start, I mentioned it early on I'm pretty sure, maybe not. The bubbles appear but I haven't figured out why, probably after a few hits. They then stay around the intake. Yeah I did mention it because I remember posting a picture of it in this thread.

So they stay where they are on both sides, as in the picture, and don't move unless physically moved and it takes maybe 1 minutes to do it so it's a massive inconvenience. I figured that was the reason the coils were burning so quickly, due to lack of juice. Sometimes if they're small enough I just leave them until they're covering the cotton.

It shouldn't be happening at all, which is my point. Its a year old, tops, it should be working flawlessly.

I would take it into the shop but they'd extort me just like they do with every other possible avenue related to vaping.

I think this is the picture, I'll edit comment if it's the wrong one.

Do the bubbles move when you undo the top?

No not even slightly

I always thought bubbles was a good sign your cotton was wicking well.

Not sure if anyone answered but juice sitting in a drawer for 6 months can taste pretty rank. Not always, but more often than not.

Again it may have been mentioned but when you 1st use a new coil start low on the wattage and slowly work your way up to your usual number. EG if the coil is rated for 45W start at 20W and increase in 5s every few puffs.

TBH this is why I ditched stock coil tanks years ago and moved onto rebuildables as they're expensive and a don't last, plus QC can be very hit or miss. The learning curve with rebuildables is a bit higher initially but it works out much cheaper and easier in the long run and you get much more fine control over your vaping experience.

Good luck anyway, hope you get it working one way or another.

The 0.25 coil is a dual coil, whereas the 0.2 coil is a single coil. The dual coil is going to want much more airflow because it wants to drink much more juice. I still think it's the fact you are using the 2ml glass with that dual coil, the airflow is too restricted and it's getting vacuum blocked.

I did say in my initial reply to you that I had read similar complaints elsewhere from people who had issues with the 2ml glass restricting airflow.

AFAIK it usually is, when they stay around the intake and don't dissipate - I imagine it's very bad. I am a complete casual though, I bought the most expensive model in the shop because I thought it would last. Well the best for <£120 IIRC. I never had any problems up until 3 months ago. I don't know what changed. It might have been when I replaced the glass but I can't be certain. Might be when I changed juice.

I should really just bite the bullet and go to the shop and get it looked at. Let them try one of the last 2 coils and watch how they do it, if it works better etc. This juice seems to work better and I can taste the grape drank but it doesn't have that taste when you touch the roof of your mouth with your tounge after a hit. Its like a tease of its full potential. I only ever tried this juice on 0.2 coils though at 40w. These are 0.25 coils and are by far the worst I've ever encountered. I'm currently at 57w and next to no taste, just basic.

And I said to you it never happened to me for 9 months prior to now with the 2ml tank dude. It doesn't make sense to switch up after all this time.

There is clearly something wrong with the production of the coils, the tank is broken or the Aegis is like omitting very slight power constantly which is causing this or something. I can't explain it but it never happened for all that time.
