You can all thank me for this later...I'm a seasoned vaper used to building my own coils - thought I'd give this tank and coils a try for convenience and had the same issues as everybody else - poor wicking, dry hits, coils not even getting through a day! The shop which I purchased it from blamed the poor performance on me and were less than helpful (thanks Vape store in Rothwell). I tried poking holes in the 'cotton' with a pin and my first thought was "that's not cotton" - it's way too resistant to puncture with a needle... so I decided to take the knackered coil apart starting with removing the 'cotton'. Read on...
Grab yourself a pair of vape tweesers (angled) - these will cost you next to nothing - and pull the old crap out of there through the outside of the juice holes. What I removed is what I'd normally throw away! It was like the outer layer of Muji pad cotton - not absorbent AT ALL - utter garbage and not suitable for the task in hand.
Once you've removed said crap - grab some trusty cotton bacon from your local vape shop - this will also cost you sod all and last for months if not a year!
Rip a strip of cotton bacon off - a sensible about that will pack out where the old 'cotton' was.
Twist the end in your fingers so you can thread it through the holes you pulled the old stuff out of and feed it through with your tweezers. Go in one hole, out of the next, then back in the same hole you've pulled it out of - this will make the job easy rather than trying to feed it all the way around the coil in one go. Repeat until you've reached the start again.
Your coil should now be surrounded with fresh, absorbent cotton bacon.
Tuck it in where you started and fluff up the cotton where it comes out of the juice holes ensuring that the holes are covered from the inside by the cotton bacon.
Juice that bad boy up BEFORE putting the coil back into the tank - just apply plenty of juice to the INSIDE of the coil until the juice can be seen on the outside of the cotton visible through the juice holes. Reassemble, fill up and enjoy.
Start around 50w and work your way up to 95 in 5W increments slowly so as not to burn the new cotton. Congratulations - you now have non-leak, rewickable tank that will put many RDAs to shame. The flavour WILL be amazing, the juice WILL wick and you WILL have a 'moist' and dense vaping experience rather than the harsh, dry one which UWELL have inflicted upon you.
Obviously eventually the coil will get manky and then it's time to buy a new one but it should last a while. You could try dry burning it without cotton and rinsing to get the crap off. Other people use vodka or isopropyl alcohol to clean the coil itself (without the cotton in place - you don't want to be inhaling that stuff)... Sounds like a lot of work but literally - 5 minutes start to finish. You'll get the materials to do this for less that the cost of a new coil and you can do it time after time...enjoy!
