Dirt in Uwell Crown o.25 coil?

[SubOhmGnome]

Just picked up this coil the other day, took all the precautions when priming and today I noticed it was pulling pretty hard and not giving me much vapor. I took apart the tank and found the coil looked as if it had dirt in it, I've been vaping for about 3 months now and I haven't seen anything like this. Also the holes on the side of the coil are pure white

I have the same tank and coils. Coils gunk up and that gunk Will eventually burn, and look like what you see there. I tend to over use my coils, when I'm done they look a lot worse then that. I know certain juices can accelerate the process, not entirely sure which kinda or why. Iirc custard and creme types are tougher on coils. If it's becoming unusable unusually fast I would double check their authenticity, if they're legit then maybe you just got a dud. That can happen as well.

Have you disassembled the entire tank assembly lately and performed a thorough cleaning?

I use the same coils and tank in rotation almost daily. I'll fully disassemble the tanks then under hot water stick a q-tip in there and clean out the inside of the chimney and drip tip. Repeat and final rinse it all down and there's usually a gunked up q-tip left over. All the crown coils I've used had white cotton on the wicking holes even when gunked up on the top and center.

Yeah I have still pulling pretty hard but it seems to be running a little smoother now

Wick holes will alway look Pretty white. There is a separate cotton sheet attached to the holes

What do you mean by pulling hard?

So I'm having this problem with my Kangertech subbox mini where I put a brand new coil and wick and all of a sudden I start vaping and the taste I get is burned cotton . I need help cuz this has never happened to me. And another favor would be the mouthpiece throwing back ejuice, its horrible cuz I waste precious juice for no reason.

I've had similar problems before too, what helped me is I would cover the air holes and pull on the tank without firing to make sure I wet all the cotton really well, then when I take the first pull off of it I blow out for a second to burn off excess juice. Also new coils usually have a funky taste for the first few pulls.
