My coils seem to last less than a week before tasting burnt. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
Coils burning out fast? Make sure you're priming them properly before first use.
Also, avoid chain vaping. Taking frequent puffs in quick succession can burn the coil faster.
It could be from high wattage, not priming the coil properly, or using sweet liquids—those can burn coils faster.
Exactly, those are usually the main reasons. Running the coil too hot, not letting it fully soak before use, or using very sweet liquidscan all shorten its lifespan. Dropping the wattage a bit and giving the coil more time to saturate often makes a noticeable difference.
A week does sound a bit short. Along with priming properly and avoiding chain vaping, wattage can make a big difference too. Running coils higher than their recommended range or using very sweet/dark e-liquids can shorten coil life quite a lot. Letting the wick fully saturate and taking a few gentle puffs at lower power at the start usually helps them last longer.
