Hello everyone,
I recently got the ego c twist/spinner kit from myvaporstore.com. I got a spinner and a 1000 mah twist with 2 evod clearomizers. Ive been using 50/50 juices from Buckeye Vapors which are delicious. After vaping for roughly a week, and cleaning the attys with water every other day or so, yesterday I noticed a horrible taste and smell coming from my evod(voltage set around 4.0). After cleaning the atty with water again, I checked the coil to see if it had any damage. The wick appeared to have burn marks around where the coil is. So I popped in a brand new atty, juiced it up and let the wick absorb for 20-30min while I used my other evod and turned the voltage all the way down 3.2, Everything was going great until the next time I went to vape, the first 5 hits or so were great and then I got that horrible smell and taste again. So I checked the wick to find that this brand atty had a burnt wick now as well. I ended up going through 3 attys yesterday, 2 burnt the wick at 3.2v. So I found some cotton and re-wicked the attys after dry burning them, and all seems to be working well so far. I'm just confused as to how I could burn 2 wicks at the lowest possible voltage for an ego c twist/spinner.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

The wicks are silica and can't be burned in a PV. Need at least 1600+ degrees. It's juice gunk esp if you're vaping heavy VG or dark juices. Although I use the Vivi basically clearos are all the same and I dry burn my heads to turn the gunk on the coil into ash- rinse afterwards.

So the burnt spots on the wicks were from the burnt gunk on the coil not the actual wick itself? I believe all of my juices are pretty light, all 50/50 from Buckeye Vapor (Raspberry Lemonade, Lemon Head, Blue Berry Blast, and Watermelon), I did receive a free bottle of blueberry which I believe is a VG juice. Ive been adding some of that to the Lemon Head flavor, maybe that extra VG is what caused my coils to gunk up so fast.

After re-wicking the 3 coils I've found that I'm not getting as much vapor as I was with the original wicks. Any ideas as to what could cause that?

Thanks for the help
