Questions about eleaf icare 2

[Lissssa]

I just got my icare2 and im using 50/50 juice and 1.1coil .
Im wondering why is the coil burnt so quickly? Is it because of the juice? Should i get lower VG juice instead?
I only vape for 2-4 sec every hits and wait for about 15-20sec for another hit. Maybe i should wait longer between hits?
I'm thinking of rebuilding the coil with 28g wire, wonder if it will work...
And I have ordered a Mister E juice jade ice online, i think it's 67pg/33vg 9mg nic, hope i dont have to constantly change coil for this one.

At 50/50 it's probably not the VG but more likely the flavorings. Juices with lots of sweeteners tend to gunk up coils quickly. Also, as a general rule darker juices tend to gunk up quicker.

Do you have any suggestion for juices with less sweetness but with mint or cool flavour? I saw something call Salt E, is it good?

Mr. Salt E uses nic salts, I haven't tried their liquids but I DIY nic-salts. They are smoother and some folks use them to get a higher nic level without harshness. Nothing wrong with trying it, if you are interested. The same rules: dark, sweet, juices will reduce coil life. I'd say try to find something clear and not as sweet (maybe a citrus with mint, some folks like that although to me, it's BLEUGH, but everyone is different.

Sorry, don't have any specific recommendations, I DIY and started that early on so I don't have much experience with storebought.

Best of luck, if you have a dark, sweet juice that you love, maybe save it for your RTA so you won't be going through as many coils, it will be as simple as dry burning and rewicking once your coil gets clogged.

Best of luck,

Anna

You might consider Black Note - Solo. Great juice and is really easy on coils.

You provided little info about how long you have been vaping. As a new member here, I'm assuming you are new vaper.

Did you properly "prime" the coil prior to adding e-liquid into the tank? If improperly primed, the cotton wick will taste burnt before long.
