New Kangertech Invisible Wick Coils

[mikejhughes]

Just re-ordering some Kanger Coils for my Aerotank and noticed they have released some invisible Wick coils. I cannot find any reviews on them - so I have ordered a pack to try them out. Anyone used them?

They'll be a nightmare to rewick

They suck m8. Try and get some of the older heads where you ban see the wicks. I'm not saying don't use them as obviously you've paid good money for them.

You may actually find you like them, but a lot of members have struggled with gurgling, dry hits and we've even seen the potential for fibres from the wick to get into the tank itself.

I'd link to the thread but I can't find it. Had a lovely photo of the fibres issue.

A photo of invisible wicks, now that's magic

I actually really like the sealed wick coils - taste is a lot better for me than any other disposable head aside from the new nautilus BVC coils which are a bit in a league of their own.

The original Kanger duel coils for me flooded terribly and were awful - hated the PT3 because of them - these are pretty consistent and no dry hits to date aside from when I cape my mini aerotank dry (which admittedly doesn't take that long).

They're not rebuildable - probably designed that way, but if you can't recoil for toffee then they are a pretty good option.

The wick doesn't stay invisible for long mind - pokes out after a tank or two has been through them

They're not really invisible wicks. The OP is referring to the normal 'upgraded' heads with no visible wick. It has a wick but it's all hidded inside the head. I hate them

I like these heads. I use them all the time for work and I've never had a problem with them. You can buy a pack of 5 from FT for a fiver.
Every time I put an order in to Ft I chuck a pack in my basket

I'll let you know how I get on with them. Mixed views from people here - so it should be interesting when they arrive.

Not me but from personal experience I can tell you that you get some strands of silica protruding from the base after the coil has had a tank or two through it.  Doesn't seem to affect the vape mind.

I'm with Pauley here, these heads are reliable (I used the Aspire duel coil heads for best part of 9 months, good as they are when they work they are anything but reliable), taste good and last well.  Gurgles are more due to the tank, I have zero problems with them in my mini aerotank, in the mega they don't like the tank getting less than a third or so full (gurgle, gurgle spit etc).  I'm actually not a huge fan of micro coils and cotton, and frequently had poor experiences with the old Kanger single coil heads - these are the most reliable cheap heads I've used - I am hopeless at building and coiling myself so for disposable use there is little else I've found better.

first one was very poor.
