There is nothing quite like taking a hit from your device and getting a harsh, burnt taste instead of your favorite flavor. If you have ever wondered why your coils seem to burn out way too fast, you are definitely not alone.

Most of the time, a burnt hit happens because the cotton inside your coil dried out or got too hot before fresh e-liquid could soak in. Here are a few quick ways to fix it and keep your coils lasting much longer:

• Prime New Coils Properly: When you put in a fresh coil, drop a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton inside before filling your tank. Once filled, let the device sit for at least 5 to 10 minutes so the cotton gets completely soaked.

• Watch Your Wattage: Every coil has a recommended wattage range printed right on the side (like 25W–35W). Staying within that sweet spot prevents the heating element from scorching your cotton.

• Don't Chain Vape: Taking five massive hits back-to-back doesn't give the coil enough time to suck up fresh liquid between draws. Give it a few seconds to rest.

• Keep Your Tank Filled: Never let your e-liquid drop below the tiny cotton holes on your coil. If air gets in there, you get a dry hit.

Taking an extra minute to prime your coils properly will save you money on replacement pods and keep every puff tasting fresh. Need replacement coils for your setup? Drop by K Town Vape on Barrett Parkway to check out our full wall of genuine replacement pods and mesh coils!
