5 steps to increase coil life

As a vaper, you may have come across a few unpleasant burnt hits every now and then and you may be wondering why. There are a few reasons for why this might be happening and it is everything to do with the coils in your device.

Before we get into it, you need to understand how a coil works and why your coils are getting burnt in order to start avoiding it; after all, we want to avoid experiencing the nasty taste that feels like the back of your throat is being shredded by a cheese grater.

First of all, a coil is your heating element of which your mod will send through an electrical current to heat up. Around your coil, will be some wicking material (usually cotton) and as the coil heats up it will begin to vaporise the e liquid that the wicking material would have been saturated in.

When you get a burnt hit, this instance occurs when the wicking material is dry or that the wick has some dry spots. Please note that you can still get a burnt hit even when you have a full tank of e-liquid. You now may be asking, how do I prevent my coils from burning? We have already made it clear that the key factor to burning your coils is having dry wick. To prevent your coils from burning out you will need to keep your wicking material saturated in e-liquid. This means that you shouldn’t dry burn your coils from new, if you do this you will completely ruin the wicking material which means that it will not hold the liquid as efficiently and also you will get a constant taste of burning.
