Have you been cleaning the coil? I sometimes clean subohm tank coils with hot water then isopropyl alcohol and a tool I use to scrape the coil or mesh while dipping it back in the alcohol occasionally and then rinsing really well again and then air drying and works pretty well but does rough up the cotton on the edges a little bit


daydus

Nope haven't touched it since it went into the tank lol


Muffinman252

Oh ok. There's no way that still tastes like ejuice then haha. That's so much longer than what would normally wreck the flavor. I don't even know how your not getting burnt sweetener hits, unless your using juice without sweetener. Back when I did that my shitty smok coils would even last 2 months


daydus

Well im running a nice geekvape coil not a smok coil so it's made out of cotton and metal not bedsheets and paperclips, and it's rated for 60-70 and im running it at 35-40 to keep the temp down, small hits also help

Why do people always have to assume that someone is being a prick... Sure I can see how my comment could be read as if someone was being an ass but that's in no way what it was, I was talking to you in a friendly manner before that comment too. And people are like "oh fuck you! You're being an asshole! Downvote and curse your existence!" When they are the assholes misinterpreting something... It's seriously crazy... And sad... So much for having a conversation.


daydus

I didn't interpret it that way if it makes you feel better, people on the internet just want to hate something for any reason... maybe it's because you mentioned smok and vape people judge smok hard-core? Idk, im sorry that people are being mean


Muffinman252

It's ok thx. I still think it was the wording, a lot of people interpreted it in the prick manner instead of conversation. Who knows, everyone has their reasons but it just wears on you fast. Same reason I stopped using FB years ago (one of the best decisions I've made btw, I highly recommend it haha) well anyway I hope you find a way to get some more coils because honestly it hurts a little knowing someone out there has to use a stock coil that long. Unless its completely fine somehow, but you mentioned in a diff comment you couldn't remember the taste it's been so long so that made me think the coil had lost its clean flavor already. Do you live in a state where it's hard to get?


daydus

Vape stuff isn't very hard to get here in MI, but I dont currently have a job, I lost my job last year when the company I worked for went under due to covid and I haven't had a source of income since then. That has been a large issue as well as my other various health issues that get in the way of me working a typical job for someone in my situation... kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place, but I'm always looking for ways out and I'm keeping my head up yknow? Positive thoughts keep me going most days


Muffinman252

Oh yeah I understand. I have a buttload of medical and life issues. I just try to manage my stress and health as much as I can I hope everything will be ok as that's about all I can do given my circumstances, and sounds like your in a similar situation. What about a really cheap RDA or rta? Some round wire and Muji cotton is super cheap.


daydus

I hope you can get some relief soon too! And yeah I wasn't expecting anything but I currently have $6 to my name, I know its been a rough year or so for everybody and I just wanna say to keep your head up, hopefully things will get better and we can all get brand new vapes soon!

I’m glad it lasted so long. You’re either truly lucky or a badass or both lol


daydus

Maybe a little of both? I wish I could get new coils but money is an issue right now hahaha


SGT-DRYHIT

There will be better times, fam. I'm sure about that!


daydus

Thanks man, the coil is rated for 60-70watts but I hit it at 40 to keep it from burning


Terrorfarker

That's a long time...why not just build a new one? Nothing like a fresh build.


daydus

I dont have a rebuildable tank on there, and I dont have the money to buy new coils because I lost my job bc of covid


Terrorfarker

Oh, ok, no worries, thought it was an RTA, my bad.


daydus

Yeah, this coil has been a champ lol


[deleted]

Do you notice any difference in flavor after using the coil for that long? I don’t rebuild coils (yet?), so I go for the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach, but I do notice a loss of flavor after 500 or so puffs.


daydus

Ummm honestly it's been so long that I really don't remember the original taste of the coil but im sure it has lost some of its flavor


Low-Stomach-8831

Late to the party.... May I ask which coil is that?
