When Is It Time?
It can be tough deciding how often to replace your coil. The lifespan of your coil can depend on how often you use it, and the temperature at which you vape.
So it’s nearly impossible to give an exact time for swapping it out. (Replace As Needed)
How Long Do Atomizer Coils Last?
Most wax atomizers Coil will need to be replaced within 1-4 weeks and can last up to 12 weeks. This number depends on how often you vape, and the temperature you choose. Many of us who vape constantly at high temperatures will need to replace their atomizer more frequently.
How Do I Make an Atomizer Last Longer?
The best way to extend the life of your atomizer coil is through regular cleaning.
*Using a Q-tip to clean the chamber after each use is highly recommended.
*dry-burn to clean the coil, removes all remaining resins from plate.
*Cleaning the leaking wax that drip onto the threading of your Mod.
*ISO Soak Bath overnight to remove all remaining resins.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy better Dabs for a longer amount of time.
Keep In mind that no Coil lives forever.
Signs That Can help Determine if you need a new coil.
Diagnose and understanding the right time for a new coil. If you experience any of the symptoms described below, it might be time to pick up a new coil.
Puffco Rainbow
Multicolored light flash: When there is a poor or no connection between the base and atomizer, you’ll see a rainbow light.
Burnt Flavor.
Burnt flavor is the biggest sign that your COIL is almost doom.
Times caused by “hot spots” the coil overheat wax, burnt flavor usually tastes smoky and bitter, taste can also be caused by resin that’s been left in the chamber so long it’s become burnt.
Try a dry-burn to clean the coil.
Leakage.
Leakage is caused by overloading the atomizer. But if your atomizer is still leaking even when you use a small amount of wax, there may be a deeper problem. Insert's can be cracked leaking wax to the coil. Also It’s important to replace a leaking/cracked Insert if it’s been determined that overloading isn’t the cause. This issue can cause other issues with your mod that are more difficult to solve. Leaking wax can drip onto the threading of your Mod resulting in a bad connection.
Black Gunk.
When atomizer isn't cleaned regularly, black gunk may build up on or around the coil Connectors. This resin can become crystallized over time. even a good long soak in 91% ISO won’t do the trick. Black gunk can leave a foul taste in your mouth, cause harsh hits, and even clog the air path, creating more draw resistance than there should be. To avoid this kind of build up, clean the wax atomizer regularly.
Harsh Hits
Harsh hits that burn your throat is another sign that your coil is ready for a replacement. A little harshness might be normal on higher temperatures, but if you’re gagging even at lower temps, the coil is probably overheating your waxy oils.
Clogged Airflow
Melted wax concentrates can leak into the airway of your vaporizer, and if not cleaned, crystallize. At this point you can try clearing the airway with a paperclip or needle, but if you wait too long, it might be too late. You’ll need to replace the coil.
