Wattage spike ?

[tommyboy01]

Vaping along happily on my Kbox 200 (70 watts on .5) when suddenly on the next draw I hit with a burnt taste as if I've turned the watts way up.... What gives? Coil is fairly new, batteries at more than half power.
Please help!
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!

Did the watts go up or did you chain vape? Tank type and pg/vg ratio?

Uwell Crown stock .5 coil 70vg.
I don't usually chain vape, but I might have....
I wasn't paying attention to the read out

Could be a wonky coil head.

A poor connection between the tank and mod can cause your mod to think the resistance is much higher and thus try to push far more power.
Could be a dirty pin on the tank or the mod.

Have you heard any complaints about the Kbox 200? I had a similar experience with my eleaf 50w and it would just jump the watts up intermittently

Good tip.... I'll check that

I did be willing to bet it's got nothing to do with the tank and everything to do with the coils. That's why I've had a love hate relationship with the crown ever since I bought one. I've never had a tank that had such inconsistent coils. Sometimes they would last weeks sometimes they would last a day. I had 4 and I'm down to one that I keep around and use for Ni200 temp control. Although I'm not a big fan of using ni200, the crown nickel coils seem to work the best.
