Reason #1 – A Dead Coil
- Your coil may be done dancing if it is giving you a lot of spit back. They only last so long, after all, even under the best circumstances. Don’t expect that coil to last a month or two. A week or two is about as long as you should use a coil for. The kind of E-fluid that you use can have an effect on the life expectancy of your coil. Coils tend to die quicker the more artificial sweeteners there are …

You might be asking for trouble if you have a sub ohm coil and you are using an E-fluid that is high in PG. They tend to be watery and thin. They flow right through your coil.

The solution – if you do happen to o…
