How can you extend the lifespan of a heating element?
To extend your coil's lifespan, start by priming it properly by adding a few drops of liquid onto the cotton before the first use. Strictly follow the wattage range engraved on the coil and avoid chain-vaping too quickly to give the cotton time to re-saturate. Also, favor less sugary liquids and keep your tank at least one-third full to prevent any fatal dry hits.
Technically, sweeteners in liquids caramelize on the heating wire and gunk up the wick, blocking juice flow. By staying within power limits, you prevent carbonizing the cotton fibers. A well-filled tank ensures constant pressure that supports natural capillary action. These simple habits protect your equipment and preserve flavor purity over the long term.
