Why Do E-Liquids Clog Up Your Coil?

Traditional smoking has lost popularity in favor of vaping, which offers a choice of e-liquids and equipment to improve the experience. The coil is one of the most important parts of a vape device since it heats the e-liquid and produces wonderful clouds of vapor. However, many vapers frequently experience coil blockage, which reduces the device’s overall performance and flavor. To better understand the causes of coil clogging, we’ll explore the reasoning behind this issue in this blog post, concentrating on the Tugboat Evo and Tugboat Super 12000 Puffs.

E-Liquid Constituents

The makeup of the e-liquids used for vaping is the main reason for coil clogging. Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are the main components of e-liquids, flavorings, and optional nicotine. Higher VG concentration tends to be thicker and dense, which might cause coil blockage to become more severe. The Tugboat Evo and Tugboat Super 12000 Puffs are both made to work with various e-liquids, but they might still have trouble working with ones high in VG.

Chain Vaping and Duration of Puff

Coil clogging may also depend on the vaping technique and puff count. The coil may overheat if a user inhales rapidly when chain vaping. The e-liquid may not completely vaporize due to overheating, leaving extra residue on the coil. Although chain vaping can still exacerbate the problem, the Tugboat Evo and Super 12000 Puffs have built-in safety mechanisms to guard against excessive overheating.

Additives and Sweeteners

Sweeteners and other additives can improve the flavor of e-liquids, but they can also cause coil blockage. These substances do not fully vaporize when heated. When they do, they may leave residue on the coil, eventually leading to a gunky buildup that reduces airflow and adversely affects the vaping experience.

Wattage and temperature variations

The coil may heat up unevenly if the wattage or temperature settings must be corrected. Some e-liquid may not fully vaporize when the coil doesn’t reach the ideal vaporization temperature, which might cause clogging. It is essential to ensure that the wattage or temperature settings are suitable for the coil and e-liquid being used to prevent this.

The size of the wicking holes on the coil body is another factor related to the dreaded clogged coil. If the holes are small, there is a greater chance that the compounds mentioned above will clog the holes and restrict the flow of e-liquid around the coil. This can be particularly annoying if you prefer thicker, VG-heavy fluids.

Insufficient Priming

Another cause of coil blockage is improper priming of the coil. It’s important to thoroughly prime a newly inserted coil with e-liquid before using it. Please do so to avoid burnt flavors, dry hits, and an increased risk of clogging since the coil’s wicking material is not sufficiently saturated.

Vapers frequently experience coil clogging, which affects both coil longevity and the entire vaping experience. The e-liquid composition, sweeteners, vaping technique, wattage settings, and coil priming are some of the variables that can cause this issue. The Tugboat Evo and Tugboat Super 12000 Puffs are dependable devices that can handle a variety of e-liquids. Still, vapers should be cautious about their e-liquids and follow proper vaping techniques to avoid coil blockage.

It can also improve performance and increase longevity if you routinely clean and maintain your vape equipment, especially the coil. Vapers can enjoy a more consistent and satisfying vaping experience with their Tugboat Evo devices by knowing the causes of coil blockage and implementing recommended practices. Have fun vaping!
