I see. The more expensive mods still seem intimidating to me. But they certainly hit better from the ones I saw in the store and tried out.
I occasionally get a burnt taste randomly but the flavor quickly comes back after a 5 min break. Maybe I'm pulling too hard and the coil can't soak up juice fast enough?
I was just worried coils on the eGo would last less than a few days. I've been told coil life on any set up is hugely variable from a few weeks to almost a daily change. I can imagine spending $10 for 5 and blowing through it in a week or less. This becomes more expensive than cigs.
The burnt taste is called a "dry hit". It indeed means the coil didn't soak up the juice on time. It happened on the eGo much more often than it does on my mod, and it just means you have to take breaks. Sometimes I would move it around, hold it upside down for a moment etc. Part of the problem is that the coil is on top and relies on pressure to move the liquid around. Most mods have the coil at the bottom and the liquid gets inside easily.. gravity helps a lot!
Surely I didn't go through several coils on a weekly basis, and I can't imagine having to under any
circumstances. It was something I did every couple of weeks, and by the time I would change one I thought I could still vape it, except the quality wasn't there and I wanted that fresh coil feel again.
The mods are quite simple, really, they're just bigger, but also better quality, more durable, coils last longer, you can adjust the power easily etc. The coil cost for me is maybe 2-3$ per month.
