@20Stack, since you like high wattage vaping, I think what missing is cooling your coil down not to burn your liquid. Cooling means changing your inhale style.

With air opening halfway, do a hard DL draw for less than a second. A real hard and fast draw should cool your coil down. Draw hard like there's no tomorrow. One second is all it takes to fill an ex-smoker lung.

And with 200 watt even half second draw would work...:danger:

Hope you're not trying to reuse a burned coil with a horrid taste. Once burned, the coil is done. Take the advice you've gleaned and start with a fresh coil at lower watts and work up as you think you need.

I'm not familiar with your setup and honestly can't offer as good advice as others. But just an observation, that resistance (0.197) sounds low. Curious, what is the coil resistance advertised to be? Wondering if the mod is reading the coil correctly?
It is supposed to be 0.15

Yeah, his wattage is TAD high.... I mean tiny, tiny, tiny TAD too high.... recommended range for that coil is 60-80 watts... so fresh brand new coil vaped at 100 watt is TAD high....:lol::lol::lol:

Can anybody explain me why people need to vape at 100 watt??? From time to time just for fun I do vape on my Smok baby beast tank and I never exceeded 50 watts... higher I go less flavor I am getting and vape is way too hot to be satisfying....
it is recommended 120-180 watts

He is using the original V8 CB, not the BB or BBB.
@20Stack If you didn't break down and wash the tank you will keep tasting the burnt notes. You also need to dump the juice in the tank down the drain. Wash with dawn, rinse, and give the tank an alcohol bath.

Oh... I poured the juice back into the bottle of 60ml.... And i did clean everything, still burnt taste, but it still hasnt improved, it is still burning my throat no matter what, I have it on lower watts but i still feel a slight burn

Burnt or not never put juice from your tank back in the original bottle. What nic level are you using?

If you washed the tank in soapy water I would suggest rinsing it out with alcohol and install a new coil and use a different juice. PM PrOph3T here on ECF and let him walk you thru it while you are giving him feedback.
Hey so I am using an old coil, but this coil, when I take pulls from it, the air feels tighter, how would i fix that

You can't 'fix' a clogged or burnt head, that's why they're replaceable. When you notice a more restrictive draw, reduced flavor or vapor production and especially if it tastes burned it is time to replace the head.
You need to thoroughly prime a new head & start off at a much lower power.

If you dumped the liquid remaining in the tank after you burned the wicking material into a bottle of fresh liquid most likely you transferred the burnt taste into the fresh liquid.

Recommended range is 60-80W, so 100W should not be immediately burning the cotton media. It is spec'd at 50-110W, so you're nearing the top end. At that wattage you should be taking a deep, fast DTL hit (let innuendos ensue, lol). If you're drawing too slow, you'll kill it. I got called in so I was not able to get in touch with you in-process but I did go throw a fresh T8 in mine and had no issues. The resistance reading you are getting is what troubles me. With a no or low defect coil head you really should not read that far off. This is a 0.15 coil and you are getting almost 0.20 ohms, and that is a good bit past what you could account for by variations in your mod's reading even accounting for some resistance in your tank to mod connection. If you are getting a similar reading after changing the coil and the taste persists then (1) Do not try to salvage an of the juice from the previous fill and (2) Clean all of your threaded connections inside the tank with alcohol, repeatedly if necessary, but do not use anything abrasive because that will lead to a compounding and progressively worse problem as you go forward. Do the same with your external threaded connections between tank and mod. It is possible you have two coils from a bad batch, but I would do the cleaning first. If you can notice carbon/oxidation build-up and the alcohol is not clearing it, you can use something stronger but you will need to do thorough rinsing with water & drying, probably several times before you try to use it (again, do NOT abrade). If your Alien is putting out & performing as advertised, you may consider using another compatible coil head. I have used the eLeaf HW coils, and they're ok (plus being they are built with an abindance of cotton, thus harder to burn), but my personal preferance being the Vaporesso GT coils (I use the GT8 on my Baby Beast and my NRG). Let us all know if you come up with any further details/observations so maybe we can shed some more light on your plight.
