Hey Vets!

Please help me out. I bought myself some Demon Killer 24 + 32 GA. When I first started with this a couple of months ago, life and flavour was glorius!

But recently when I make these coils (I just use a 3mm drill bit to wind the coil) and not even 5 mins later, the cotton goes brown and I start tasting metal. I have tried a few different types of wicks such as the pancake wick, Scottish rolls etc thinking one of those will solve the problem but regrettably they have not. I usually vape at around 90W and would love to be in a position to go higher without it having a B*fit.

I cant figure out what I have suddenly started doing wrong and I am starting to dislike my dripper. I even bought a vaporesso tarot nano and its kicking my dripper in the jewels.

I would appreciate any assistance/advice/suspicions on what could be going wrong. Suggestions to alternate coils will also be appreciated.

P.S I have tried Alien coils that are prebuilt and I ended up chucking those too.

Thanks Guys!

For the best pre-built coils take a look at @smilelykumeenit coils. You'll notice the difference almost immediately. The problem with Chinese coils is that they use a thick wire for the outer wrap which ends up defeating the purpose of these coils.

What I can suggest you do to remove the ' coil ' taste is to wash and brush your coils after making sure they are glowing evenly.

Thank you very much I will go to his/her profile and look for some contact info. I tried the wash but not a brush. I still dont get why it will happen literally within 5 minutes of installing new coils and cotton o_O

Yeah I think it's most likely the wire itself. Rather get a set of custom hand built coils. They last at least 3-6 months depending on how frequent you re-wick and brush them.

this is what you can expect from @smilelykumeenit the neatness is fantastic and the performance is unbelievable. You'll never want to use standard coils again This is a set of Framed Alien coils.

Thank you 007. I did go to his profile but did not find any contact info. Do you know if he has a website or something where I can order?

@daniel craig do you think the settings on the device can have anything to do with it? I see some stuff here about nickel and bla bla bla

I'm going to assume you've got it in power mode. In this mode the mod won't cause you to get any funny taste. Nickel is a wire type which is crappy. If you have any other wire lying around, you can give it a test and see if it solves your problem.

Since this Demon Killer wire has a 32g outter wrap, it retains heat for longer. This may cause an issue when your cotton is about to be completely dry because that heat will burn your cotton causing it to go brown. Frequently dripping is always recommended to prevent this.

Your wicking could also play a role in this as well as the type of juice you are using. Generally, sweet juices cause the coils to gunk up faster.

Here's an interesting video which you should check out explaining the difference between chinese exotic coils and hand made coils:

Na just the demon killer wire. Same mystery happened with some prebuilt aliens I bought. Cant remember the brand but they come in those little screw cap tubs with a green and black label. I made contact with @smilelykumeenit and waiting for his reply.

Time to hit the hay! Have a good night Sir and thank you once again.

Could not resist the YT video! This says everything and I think it should be pinned up somewhere for all drippers to See! I think @smilelykumeenit is the answer!

The difference is real. I used to use the Geekvape Fused Clapton wire all the time but after getting my hands on some proper hand built coils, the difference is very noticeable.

Yeah, I went and bought two spools of demon killer wire and 4 spools of geekvape wire a few months ago... Had i known... Its not that they're bad per se, but im definitely going to get some premium coils soon.

I would say its not bad if youre a vaper who smokes around 70w-75w. When I first got them I had no issues and was happy. Suddenly they took a bad turn. It almost felt like the wire had expired o_O:-D
