Alright, so yesterday, I was just chilling and decided to hit my vape. But guess what? It tasted like burnt garbage! I was like, “What the heck is going on?” It got me thinking, maybe it’s time to change my coil. But then I started wondering, when is a coil actually completely dead? So, I did a little experiment.
First off, I took a good look at my vape. I opened it up and checked the coil. It looked pretty dark and gunked up. I mean, I’ve been using this thing pretty heavily for like a week straight, so it made sense. But I wanted to be sure, so I decided to do a little test.
- I filled up the tank with some fresh e-liquid.
- Then, I took a few puffs, trying to ignore the nasty taste.
- Nope, still tasted burnt. Not just a little off, but like full-on burnt cotton mixed with metal.
At this point, I was pretty sure the coil was toast. But just to be extra sure, I did a little more digging online. Turns out, that burnt taste is the biggest giveaway. It happens when the cotton wick inside the coil is all used up and can’t soak up any more e-liquid. So, instead of vaporizing the juice, you’re basically burning the dry cotton. Yuck!
I also learned that if you’re a heavy vaper like me, you should probably change your coil every few days. I guess a week was pushing it. Moderate users might get away with a week or two, but not me. Anyway, I swapped out the old coil for a fresh one, and bam! It was like night and day. The flavor was back, and the clouds were huge. Problem solved.
Conclusion
So, the lesson here is, if your vape tastes like a campfire, it’s time to change that coil. Don’t wait around, just do it. Your taste buds will thank you! And if you use your vape a lot, keep some spare coils handy. Trust me, it’s worth it.
