Helloooo. I have a joyetech Atopack Penguin, I use the coil named umm "JVIC1, 0.6ohm MTL." About three days ago I realised my vape tasted a bit burnt so I cleaned it because I can't afford a new coil atm... after that it didn't taste that burnt -- it did sometimes though, it come and go. Today, I'm pretty sure I completly burnt it, it tastes bad but I took about 10-15 hits anyway. Now I'm a bit worried because there's cotton in the coil and I KNOW inhaling burnt cotton is toxic. It's not like I'm freaking out because I don't feel ill in any way. I have a mild headache but I think that's because I'm tired. I'm just low-key worried that this damaged my lungs? Please help me.

How do you know inhaling Burt cotton is toxic? Not particularly good for you, tastes terrible, sure, but toxic? As in poisonous?
Meh. Cotton is cellulose. Guess what paper is? Guess what a good bit of the tobacco leaf is composed of?
If you really can't afford a new coil, try soaking that one in either Vodka (cheap is fine) or pure grain alcohol (Everclear as an example, I have seen other names but it will be 198 proof). Let it dry fully afterwards. If you can't afford the alcohol and don't already have some, you can try boiling the coil. This does have the potential to damage it but if it makes it through it should taste cleaner. Again let it dry fully before use.
I just read it somewhere and thought it made sense, but at the same time -- my coil is soaked in juice and it's not on fire. Yeah, you're right.
Now it's been about 10 hours since I vaped of it and now it tastes fine? It's really weird. I found some money for a new coil so it'll be fine, thanks anyway!!!!
Vaping a burnt coil has the possibility of releasing some undesirable byproducts into your vape, it's also not a very pleasant experience, either.
You can certainly try resuscitating your coil using various methods. I used to reuse nautilus coils but stopped doing so (mainly, because I would get pretty inconsistent coil life out of them, and I didn't enjoy vaping a coil that could go dead on me any minute) and I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
Whether the coils seem "cheap" or "expensive" to you, unless you want to use an RTA and build your own coils (far less expense) you are going to have to expect and understand that vaping, period, has certain unavoidable costs (mainly eliquid and coils) and perhaps ALSO take the time to note that these costs are usually far, far lower than the cost of tobacco. That's the bottom line. There are ways to make vaping even less expensive (DIY, RTAs, RDAs etc.) but those do have some significant start up costs, also, although they can pay for themselves over time.
Best of luck,
Anna

My question is how much is a pack of cigarettes in Denmark, how many cigs a week do you smoke? Compare that to the price of a coil (which I think should easily last a week).
I have to agree with Stols001 about the RBA/RDA saving money. If you are willing to put in a small bit of learning and effort, building your own coils can save you TONS of cash. For about the price of a 5 pack of pre-built coils you can buy enough wire and wick to last you for YEARS. Unfortunately you do have to buy a RTA/RDA first. Should you decide to go this route, lets us know and we can help with recommendations.
I use the Q2 0.4 ohm coils and get about 60 ml through them before they need to be changed. I would view anything more as a really great outcome. Anything much less, annoying.
