Can A Burnt Vape Kill You? All You Must Know!

Burnt taste is the nightmare of most vapers, especially those who have just converted to refillable vapes. Sometimes, defective disposable vapes also produce unpleasant tastes because of the coils or poor design. People may keep hitting the dead disposable kits or using the burnt coil temporarily before the new one arrives. Do you wonder whether it is bad to hit a burnt vape or not? I'd like to talk about burnt vape, or more specifically, burnt coils in this passage.

1. How Long Does A Vape Coil Last?

The Vape coil is the heart of a vape. Most coils have a similar structure, namely, coil wire (heating element), wicking material, and housing.

For disposable vape users, the lifespan of the coil depends on the puff count. Since disposable vapes are single-use devices, you cannot reuse or refill them. The coil lasts till your disposable kit is dead.

In terms of refillable vapes, the estimated lifespan is calculated by the amount of e-liquid a pod cartridge can handle. For example, VOOPOO Argus Top Fill Pod Cartridges can withstand about 90ml of e-juice in total.

2. Why Does My Vape Taste Burnt with New Coil?

Annoyingly, the burnt tastes from a new coil hinder the conversion to pod system kits. For new vapers, it is a common problem and easy to conquer.

(1) Do You Know How To Prime A Vape Coil?

It happens from time to time, especially for new users of pod kits or other more complicated vaping devices. Unprimed vape coils are heated rather than the e-liquid. This leads to burnt tastes, dry hits, or coil damage. As a result, always remember to prime the coil before use, whether it is new or not.

(2) Is Chaining Vaping to Blame for Burnt Tastes?

Even if you prime the new coil before vaping and wait 15 minutes straight, you may suffer from dry hits if you are a chain vaper. Unlike traditional cigarettes, vapes are less irritating, so it may take more puffs to feel enough. Non-stop vaping will leave no time for the coil to saturate enough e-liquid, which will lead to dry hits and burn the cotton.

3. Can A Burnt Vape Kill You?

Yes, for the skeptics that are paranoid enough to believe everything kills you. Everything can kill us, including oxygen. Hitting a burnt vape is harmful and not recommended. However, a burnt vape will not kill you instantly but will expose you to other troubles.

4. Adverse Health Effects of Burnt Vape

It is not the e-liquid but the wick (usually cotton) that is heated. You inhale burnt materials, such as Formaldehyde, Acrolein, and Benzene. Your lungs and throat are also irritated by harsh and unpleasant tastes.

On the other hand, burnt hits can do damage to the battery and mod. A burnt coil has a lowered lifespan and exhausts quickly.

5. How to Change Vape Coil?

For vapers who stick to the pod system kits, changing the vape coil is just easy peasy lemon squeezy. Simply pull the used coil out and insert a new one. That's how you change the coil of Geekvape Digi Max:

Advanced vapers surely know how to rebuild the coils for the tank and enjoy the best of the vape juice. But also pay attention to Ohm's law to prevent "ohms too high" or "ohms too low" situations. If you have no idea about how to use a rebuildable tank, feel free to ask the vaping masters around you!

6. Conclusion

Vaping is enjoyable but also requires effort if you want to master it and prevent troubles. Why do you need to hit burnt vapes when an online vape shop is accessible? That's all for this week and I will see you next week.
