Gunk build up on coil after only 2 days ????

[jeffc]

Hi All.
I am using Grizwalds "Black Cat" 18mg, on a vamo set at 8 watts, inside an AGA-t+ with s/s mesh wick.
After only 2 days (10hours vaping time) my coil is covered in `black charcoal`, to a degree that you cannot see the coil wire.
Is this normal, coil 4/5 wraps is measured at 1.6 oHms. ???
Any advice greatly received.
Thanks.

I can't speak for Black Cat, but I made a blackcurrant/licorice mix that made my coil develop little tumours all over after a day or so.

No idea what specific ingredients cause it, although I know tobacco steeps are particularly gunk-inducing.

I have found that sweet or darker juices will clog the coil/wick quite quickly. Just take old toothbrush to it(gently).

when the tank is empty of juice just give it a dry burn and the crud will fall off

Thanks for your comments and advice.
Will certainly do a `dry burn` when tank is empty.
