The Wick
All tanks have a coil or wick (also called an atomizer) that is made of material that is wrapped with a thin wire. When you power the battery, this wick is heated and the juice is heated until vapor is produced. Coils do not last forever and need to be replaced ($2-$3 typically). Depending on how much you vape, your coil can last 1 week to 1 month. To help your coil last longer, make sure you are not pushing the power button on your battery unless you are drawing on your vapor. The air you draw through the atomizer helps to cool it as it heats up and this keeps the material from burning too quickly. A burnt coil will taste smokey or burnt and may leak juice or be very hard to draw on.
Tips for a good vaping experience
Hitting a dry wick will burn it more quickly and taste burnt or harsh. Setting your tank on it's side for extended periods can dry the wick out. Also, an underfilled tank that has top wicks can dry it out. If you think your wick is not fully wet with juice, draw a few times on your tank without battery power to pull some oil into your wick.
If you tank is bubbling a little, your atomizer may be flooded. Remove it from the tank (if yours is rebuildable) and dry it gently with a paper towel. Use a q-tip to dab out any excess oil in the tube that runs from your mouth to the coil (tube where the vapor comes into your mouth). Put it back together and try again. Always make sure that you do not lose the rubber washers on your tank, these keep it from leaking. If yours is a disposable tank, simply put a thin q-tip down the tube and wick out the excess oil.
If you tank is bubbling a lot, there may be a leak or your atomizer is burnt and it is time for another one. Exterior leaking is a sign of damage or missing/ill fitting washers. Leaking onto the battery is a sign of a burnt wick or flooded wick/coil. Do not continue to use a tank that is leaking onto your battery, this will get into the battery core and ruin the connections in your battery.
