When you are using electronic cigarettes, you have to replenish and replace two products from time to time in order to continue vaping. The e-liquid and the coils that are used in the clearomizers should be replaced quite often. The fact is that rarely will a coil stop functioning but as time will pass the coil will start delivering disappointing results. When you realize that the coil is not being able to give you the same level of satisfaction and you feel that it is not performing like it used to then it is more likely the coil has become bad. There are some ways by which you will be able to prolong the life of your coils and receive satisfactory experience of best e-liquid flavours.

Length of Usage:

Over the time the atomizer and the clearomizer that you are using will weaken because of the continued use. The coils that you have been using will need replacement and this is how the manufacturers make money out of you. It is very simple, you pay and you get unparallel vaping experience. The coils that are inside them are disposable which means that you can keep on using then till the period of time they have to be replaced to get the same amount of satisfaction.

Burnt Wicking Material:

The most popular method by which you identify bad coil, arise from the wicking material that is used. In case the material has turned bad and it is not performing as it should then the coil too won’t perform as it should. The most common problem is the burning of the wicking material. This gives out a foul taste instead of best e-liquid flavours. When the wicking material is burnt it does not function in a proper way. When the wicking material is incapable of keeping up with the pace of delivering e-liquid to the coil then it continues to burn the wicking material. The way by which you will be able to avoid the burning of the wicking material is by priming the replacement prior to it being used making sure that the wicking material is wet all the time. You can only use that liquid viscosity that your coil will be able to handle.

Gross Flavor:

You can easily recognize a bad coil from the flavor that you receive the coil has vaporized the liquid. In case you can taste a bad flavor, then it is more likely that the coil has gone bad. The foul flavor can result from several of things like the burnt wick from continuous usage, faulty coil wire in the housing of the replacement coils, faulty airflow from clearomizer, and bad wicking from the manufacturer. Very rarely doe a user remove the foul flavor once it is there. Hence, it is highly recommended to change the coil as soon as possible.

Defective on Arrival:

If the customizer or the atomizer is not working the moment you have received then it possible that you have received a coil that was dead on its arrival. If you find that the clearomizer has stopped working you assume that the coil has turned bad but that is not always the case. In such cases, there might be a connection issue and this needs to checked before you throw it away out of frustration.
