That is an intermittent short, check your coil and move with a pin etc/move wick slightly as necessary.

I'm sorry, but I feel that is poor advice. Dry burning done correctly will prolong the life of your coil, rinsing the wick and coil first helps as the initial burns will clean off the wick, trust me. I have a wick/coil that has been in my Igo-L for over a month and is producing very well indeed. Ekowool is far better than silica, dry burning can almost restore it to great condition. Edit. To be fair, your PG/VG suggestion is a good one for flavour changes Cheers bud, I'll give that a go (as I said I'm pretty new), so what sort of voltage should I be burning at and for how long? Is it best to keep burning til vapour production has pretty much stopped? Remove all coverings so you can see the coil clearly. Give a good rinse under the tap and dry as much of the wick as possible with vaper towel. I usually use about 4v, burn for about 6 seconds, initially any water left will steam off. Eventually the coil will start to glow, burn, allow to cool a bit, you can blow on it to help cooling and get rid of burnt of dust. After a while the coil will burn clean, you can then see how bad (if at all) your wick is. Prime the coil with juice and re-assemble.

I only have a couple of months experience but try to avoid dry burns. It seems to scorch the silica (or produce oxidised products that soak into the wick) and colour it brown. I have a very short wick in my igo-l as I change flavours a lot when trying my mixes. I have had some success with vaping a few drops of pure PG or VG to draw the flavour out of the wick and check if there're any flavour issues. Is your coil is tight on the silica? I've read this can be an issue. I'm sorry, but I feel that is poor advice.

Went to a wedding near Oxford last week. The brides sister and her mother were puffing on E-Lites and complaining about them. Gave them a few toots on an Evod and the dream, they were impressed. Gave them a few links (including here). Outside later having a beer and a chat and the photographers asst wandered past chugging away on a very fetching purple egoriva with a CE4 type on top.

You do not need to boil Ekowool. Flame it, then use a needle or suchlike to coil around.

Do you become more talkative the more you drink? I suspect you do. And how do you manage that Roger? It will be great to see you again, it's been too long since the last one. I find it difficult to get a word in when you are around Tease-smiley Likewise, if it's a nice day!!! we could even sit out for a bit, maybe, or, maybe not.

Dolly was probably mixing it in an empty Pernod bottle ... or a half full one. Edit:- does that make me an optimist or a pessimist ??? Yes!
