Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 How often should I be changing my wic thing(atomized, cartoonists) not sure what it is called. The store told me about ten to fourteen days. I am finding mine burn up at five days. Do I vapor to much? I have the ego Smok starter kit batteries 650 1.8 0hm thing. Yet mine start tasting burning at less than five days. What do I need to do or buy? My nic level is high 24-30 most of my liquids are 26 Or 30.

I have a Smok tech tanks and ego batteries was told 650 .my ohm thing he sells me is 1.8 the vapping outlet where I bought my stuff told me I should only have to change the atomizer every ten to fourteen days but mine seem to be burning up after 5 days.

Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Bottom coils if that helps???? I also just ordered a viva nova but it has top wics an not sure about that either. Sorry I sound so stupid but need help an not sure???? The Vapping outlet just keeps selling me more Atomizers yet I'm not sure if they should be burning up after less than 5 days. The wic things are literally BLACK after less than 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have been googling an reading everything I can find on the Vapor stuff but not caught up yet on what everything is. Love vapping an not smoking but not loving it burning after 3-5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sometimes those starter kits have lower quality atomizers. Its possible you could have a bad one. How many times have you changed it out? Mkirby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You might benefit from a tank style system such as a Kanger Protank 2 or the Ayvape Davide Mini. Tam and Mkirby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have changed it 3 times now.

Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I will look into the Kanger Protank 2 or the Ayvape Davide Mini. I just ordered a vivi nova read that they are great should be here tomorrow but I am worried about it burning up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Lots of variables..the darker or sweeter the juice the faster the coils go, I have some awesome juice but I only get fours days on a coil...Chain vaping will also age a coil faster so slow down. Don't pay attention to the color of the wicks as much as flavor or vapor output, all wicks change color as they age. You'll recoup your original investment over time, and still cheaper than stinkies!

WillBlack Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Not sure about how the liquid is delivered but is is important that the actual coil is never run dry. FWIW I like the the Apire. It's a bottom, dual coil atty with replaceable coils/heads (about $2 each). There are a few different styles and sizes that use the same head.. That said many report weeks of use on each head. For me though although vapor production remains strong I'll change out in 6-7 days as the flavor seems to get muddy at that point. That puts my cost at about 30¢/day which is fine with me. On a standard eGo battery the 1.8Ω will be a good choice. Mkirby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Smoktech ARO Pyrex eGo BCC This is the tanks I have an the Atomizers if that helps at all???? http://www.myvaporstore.com/Smoktech_ARO_Pyrex_Glass_eGo_BCC_p/smok-arop.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are so many good quality attys out there! And everyone here has their own favorite or go to device. Vivi Novas are decent too! Mkirby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkirby Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Basically then replace coils as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yep! But also what Aquatroy said above ^, darker and sweeter juices will burn thru a coil faster. It tends to burn em out and gunk em up a bit faster. Mkirby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Basically then replace coils as needed Yes but if you pick a popular tank like the protank 2 or anyvape davide you can usually find coils a lot cheaper in the $1.50 range. When you get a bit of experitence you can learn to "dry burn" your older coils and prolong their life a little too. Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobChase Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Make sure you save your old coils that start to taste burnt. Like Bebop ^^ said you can do a dry burn on them. It's fairly easy to do and will save you some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFFiCART Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 @Mkirby do you happen to know if your ego batteries are variable voltage? where the bottom cap of the battery spins to change voltage. if that's the case maybe you're running too high of a voltage. At 1.8ohms your voltage should be good around 3.8v reason why I ask is because if you're running too high of a voltage in relation to your ohms you'll kill the coil faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 And.. When get even more experience, you can learn to rebuild the coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
