smok x4 coils

[Jakey]

howsit guys

bought two boxes of x4 coils at vapecon. have you had any issues with duds before? I prime them properly? break them in @ 35watts but only get 2 to 3 tanks off a coil vaping at 45 - 50 watts before I start tasting burnt cotton.

I'm almost done with my second box. R500 in just over a week.....

Not the first time I have heard about this problem with the Smok coils, I think there may be a problem with them @Jakey .

My BIL had the exact same problem with the X4 coils, and went through a whole pack in a week. I put it down to being a new vaper and thought that perhaps he had hit them with a bit too much power to start with and got him into rebuildables, but hearing that you have the same issue is making me think otherwise.

I haven't tried any X coils but the T & Q coil varieties that I have tried all lasted months each to my surprise.

If you're looking for the Nuppin/Reo type of vape, I'd highly recommend the T6 or T8 coils. Smooth as the Nuppin but very thirsty.

hahaha how dare you use a commercial coil thread to throw in a nuppin/reo reference here @Ashley A

I usually use the t & q coils. on the day they had no other coils.

I only use the T8 coil in my Big Baby Beast at 65 watts and I have also noticed the most recent batch I bought burnt out quicker than normal. I have started using the Vaporesso GT8 coils (new coils for the Revenger kit) because they fit and my first coil lasted three days. The second Vaporesso coil I am using is on about 3 days now and seems fine. Also noticed that any juice with Ice (Fantasi and the likes) kills coils in a matter of hours sometimes. I burnt out two coils on the Elabo tank with Fantasi grape in a single day. I always prime and break in my coils.

Perhaps juices are getting sweeter and more Ice juices are coming out which is killing stock coils quicker.

Just a tip that I learnt from @Vapourized ,on the 1st day of your new coil,after you have used it abit,take the tank apart and then take a sharp pin and poke 1 hole through the cotton on the coil,so basically your coil will have 4 small holes,tried and tested,coils last much longer

thanks. will give that a shot. but to be honest. these two boxes of x4 coils have been cheap. been through two coils today.

@Vape Hyper any other similar complaints?

I prefer the M2 coils,0.25 or 0.15.Its so weird because when I got my 1st V8 stick the coils used to last me minimum 1month,now lately they lasting about 2weeks unless I poke the holes,they dont make them like they used to heh!
