RTA Coil - Sudden dry burned hits - Wick snapped in half?

[Mr Ripple]

Mine work and read the resistance they should and I never heat them up. Never had one not work or read the resistance it should.

Do you get wicks burning as described by the OP with spaced coils?

Only once. It was because I forgot to open the juice control and got a dry hit. It burnt right through the coil, so it seemed.

I have with multi strand wires.

I never use multi strand wires. The extra ones seem redundant to me.

As for the wick burning in the middle like that i dont believe the reasons why have been solved completely.
Its quite common and the only guarantee for sure is somehow the cotton burns so must have become dry at the spot where its burnt.
Could be a hot spot in the coil.
Could be the cotton is too tight creating a dry spot.
Or as @TartanSpartan says could be crystallized particles accumulating which would get far far hotter.
Could be anything tbh.

Haha sounds like I've got some experimenting to do with the variables.

If it happens again that is.

The only constants are the juice, wattage, wire and ohm.

So I've got something to work with now for next time.

Could environmental conditions have been a factor?

MTL?
Youre not trying to vapourise half a tank of juice in one toot though.

What sort of vape forum is this theres no cloud type stock smileys.

Really cold juice/tank would do it.
Maybe the OP was vaping in the freezer.

 

[TartanSpartan]

I have had it with a tank,tried and checked everything
Changes the juice and all was good again
It was a ridiculously sweet juice and I reckon it was the sweetener or sugar getting too hot and burning the cotton

Your clouding days are numbered, @StrawberryRipple !
