hey guys I'm new to the site so I'm hoping to learn and read a lot about what you guys say. So I have a issue with my t8-v8 coil that came with my tfv8. The issue is that the recommended vaping wattage for this .15 ohms is 50-260 watts. Now if I try to vape the coil at 120 watts all I get is burnt coil taste. Yes I let the coil prime for about 15 minutes and I also primed it when it was out of the tank. I'm not sure why I am getting a burnt taste out of the coil head. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I also am using a koopor plus 200w box.

TFV8 coil issues
- Thread starter newedgegt2001
- Start date
Perhaps It was burnt from the first time vaping it and it remains their indefinitely. I start all coils low on watts and work my way up over time so they do not burn and get them fully saturated before even thinking about the recommended wattage.. Just because it is written on them does not mean you can crank them up from the get go.. Most times you cant and have to work your way up. CHEERS!
i made sure not to crank it to the high wattage at first. i vaped it for a few days at around 70-90. then when i tried turning it up, it was really burnt taste. not sure why. i called smok and emailed them to see if there was any other people that had the same issue but of course there is no response from the company so im shit out of luck with that haha

I don't have the T8, but my friend does. I hit his tank at 160watt and no issue. tasted great. I think you may have a bad coil
thats what im thinking but the company is impossible to get in touch with

Yeah i know. Support for devices suck from companies. Not sure where you got the coil from but probably better off chucking it and getting another coil. I mean they are disposable anyway. I have the TFV4, and have used all the coils. even coils form the same pack are inconstant. I've had coils last 3 weeks and others 2 days. If you are ok throwing it out, open the coil first. Just pull out the metal piece below the white rubber on the bottom (it's a pin comes right out) and grab a pair of pliers and pull out the coils and see ig they are gunked/burnt
yea i dont care about getting new ones its just the fact they dont really care lol, im gonna see whats up with the coil

every manufacturer has terrible support IMO. some B&M stores or websites have good support though.
My experience with coils is one little burn and it is history. With the BVC coils for the Nautilus Mini one short firing on a low tank fries the cotton and even though the coil is fine that taste comes through like crazy. I am talking very small burn marks will do it. I have watched videos on rebuilding those coils but for $3 retail price not worth it to me.
Haven't had a problem with burnt coils for the V8, like others said prime the hell out of the coil and start vaping really low, working your way up. Been using the same Oct-8 coil for over two weeks, tastes as good as originally installed.
I find taking a pin and poming 3-4 holes through the cotton in each juice port helps it wick alot better quicker more flavor
Just get the rba.. that's what I'd do

This is solid. I would hate to have to depend on factory made coils. That's the entire reason I learned from day one how to build a simple coil. It's easy as hell. I mean if you get a coil master jig it makes it super easy. Easier to me than fucking with commercial factory coils, and there better every time
