Vaping Top Tips
How to tell when your coil needs changing
Coils do not live forever, and the most evident signs of a burnt coil are:
- You may notice that the taste of your vape is very mild or perhaps non-existent when compared to past times you've vaped.
- Your vape may not generate as much cloud/vapour, but this is also an indication of a low battery, therefore it may not be your coil (but it is still a sign of a burnt coil).
- When you vape, you may experience a burnt taste.
- Your device may begin to leak as a result of your coil becoming oversaturated, which means it is now flooded and cannot maintain the essential barrier to keep the liquid from leaking.
- In sub-ohm vapes, if you remove the coil and notice that the cotton within is pitch black, you should definitely replace it; new coils contain pure white cotton.
Ways to maximise your vaping experience (regular vaping)
- As needed, replace the coil.
- Always keep your tank full, preferably above the refill line.
- Make sure you're correctly storing your device, with nothing on top providing pressure to it; excessive pressure can damage your device and cause leaks.
Ways to maximise your vaping experience (sub-ohm vaping)
- Replace your coils as needed
- Make sure all air flow holes are completely open when vaping for maximum cloud production.
- Use a high or even maximum VG juice for the greatest flavour and thickest clouds.
- Always ensure that the wick (cotton) within your coil is completely wet.
- When using a fresh coil, always reduce the wattage for the first 10-20 pulls.
Battery life and charging
- To promote a long battery life, try to let the battery in your device totally drain before charging it. Through this process, batteries can be "taught" to work optimally.
- Do not charge your device for more than 4 hours; additionally, charging your device overnight is strongly discouraged in the vaping industry.
- It is recommended that you charge your devices' batteries using a laptop/PC, but if all of your laptop/USB PC's ports are in use, a portable charger will suffice. You should not charge your device with a wall plug since these plugs can transmit too much power through your battery, causing it to shut down briefly.
- When removing your tank, ensure that the connection points are clean and dry. A clogged connection point will hinder a correct connection between your tank and device, resulting in it not firing when you activate it.
- It is strongly encouraged that you turn off your device when charging it. This will prevent damage to your battery and circuitry throughout the charging process.
