Dry hits occur when the cotton coil dries out but is still heated. It’s incredibly unpleasant and can damage the coil in one go. Tips & Tricks:

# Always refill your e-liquid before it’s completely empty. This ensures the e-liquid is always submerged in e-liquid and ready to produce vapor.

# Prime the coil before the first use. This ensures the e-liquid is fully saturated and doesn’t burn when first turned on.

#Use the recommended wattage. Too high a wattage can cause the e-liquid to evaporate too quickly, preventing the e-liquid from being properly absorbed by the e-liquid.
