    I vaped for 10 years, if you don’t change your coil/wig when it degrades enough to taste bad, you are an idiot.
    IDK if you use sub ohm coils or other forms of extreme vaping, but coils don’t generally degrade, but they may build up gunk, which can be easily cleaned by burning it off.

    But to get the data some studies have shown, you need to REALLY burn the coil, which taste like burned plastic, or like smoking the filter on a cigarette.
    It’s absolutely awful.

    There are many types of vaping, but none of them should make you use overheated coils, unless you make them yourself, and then you are doing it wrong.
    Goddam I kind of miss the hobby side of it now. 🙁

      Yes I use sub ohm coils. But I think you are wrong and even degradation without overheating makes these particles come lose. Otherwise it’s like saying that microplastics are no problem for you because you don’t microwave food in plastic containers.

        Nope, those particles are not supposed to be generated except very slowly, and you are supposed to maintain your coil when you do sub ohm.

          “Except very slowly”. You just make my point for me.

          And even with perfect maintenance and low heat it still degrades. That’s just how heating stuff works.
