Hi, vapers! Have you ever experienced a pod coil or cartridge that tasted burnt after just a few days of use, or had the flavor change drastically?

In reality, ideally, a pod cartridge should last up to about two weeks, depending on usage and the type of e-liquid used. If your coil burns out quickly, your vaping experience will certainly be less enjoyable.

But don't worry! In this article, we will discuss the causes of pod cartridges burning out quickly and the correct priming method so that your coil can last longer. So, make sure you read until the end!

Causes of Pod Cartridges Burning Out Quickly Despite Being Brand New

The question, 'why did I just buy a cartridge but it burned out instantly?' is quite common among vapers. Before discussing the solution, we first need to understand the causes of pod cartridges burning out quickly.

One of the most common causes is choosing the wrong e-liquid. Many beginner vapers don't know that pods designed for salt nic or pods friendly should not be filled with freebase liquid that has a PG/VG ratio different from 50/50.

Additionally, your vaping style can also affect the coil's lifespan. For example:

• Drawing too hard on the vape

• Taking chain puffs without a pause between draws
  

Another frequent factor is not priming the coil when first filling a new cartridge.

So, the three most common causes for a cartridge burning out quickly are:

• Choosing the wrong liquid

• Incorrect puffing technique

• Failure to prime

What Is Priming and How Do You Do It?

Priming is the process of soaking the cotton on the coil before use, so that the coil does not burn immediately when puffed for the first time.

Since we are discussing pod cartridges, here is how to perform the correct priming method.

1. Identify the type of coil in your pod

Pod systems usually have two types of coils:

• Coils separate from the cartridge

• Coils that are integrated within the cartridge

2. Perform priming based on coil type

If the coil is separate from the cartridge, drip the liquid slowly into the small holes on the sides of the coil (do not drip into the center hole). Do this until the cotton looks saturated.

After that, install the coil into the cartridge and then fill the cartridge with liquid.

If the coil is integrated with the cartridge, simply fill the cartridge with liquid up to about halfway.

3. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes

After filling with liquid, let the cartridge sit for 3–5 minutes so the cotton on the coil absorbs the liquid perfectly.

4. The pod is ready to use

Once it has sat for a few minutes, the pod can be used immediately without worrying about the coil burning out quickly.

By following the correct priming method, your pod cartridge can be more durable and the liquid flavor will remain optimal.

Already Primed But the Cartridge Is Still Burning Out?

If you have primed correctly but the coil still burns out quickly, the cause likely falls back to the two previous factors: e-liquid selection or puffing technique.

However, there is another factor that sometimes cannot be avoided, which is the quality of the coil itself. Not all coils have the same quality, so it is possible that a coil might fail quickly even if you have used it correctly.

Conclusion

Priming is actually a simple step, but it plays an important role in using a pod system. By priming every time you change a coil or a new cartridge, you can help extend the coil's life and keep the flavor of your liquid at its peak.

So, don't forget to always prime before using a new cartridge to keep your vaping experience comfortable.
