Is hissing after a hit a sign that you need to change the coil soon?

I got an Ijust2 last week. It came with a .3 ohm head, and it lasted about four days until it began to continue hissing after I let go of the button. A few hits after that I started getting a burnt taste that would happen on and off for another day, and then I had to change the head. Now I'm using a .5 ohm head. I thought it would last longer since it has a higher resistance and produces only about half the vapor as .3, but after only three days it's starting to hiss after a drag again. Both heads are authentic eleaf, using the same clear PG non-gunker juice. It is a surprise that the .5 is burning out faster than the .3...

So I want to know if my suspicion is true: Does a continued hissing after the button is released mean that the coil is going bad?

I don't think that has anything to do with the coils, a couple of my mods do that, I believe it is the mods shut off mechanism, sometimes goes half a second after you let up off the button.

This only happens a few days into a coil though. Otherwise the hissing stops right when the button is let go.

Not sure then why it is doing that, hopefully someone will chime in on this

I've had that happen when using the rba, and I've usually got gunk on the coil that continues to sizzle after I let go of the button.

So perhaps it's gunk... Well I have the hissing head in a cup of vodka right now, so we'll see if it stops.

I nominate this for "quote of the day".

Usually hissing after firing is due to cotton not having enough contact to cool the coil down.

Or about five tanks of super sweet juice gunk trying to catch fire.....lol!

I would be concerned that your mod fire button is sticking ON.

The sizzle or hiss on an RDA only last a fraction of a second. It's shouldn't last seconds after a drag. Same with a tank.

Gunk ball on the coil. This is for sure if you know your button shuts off like it is supposed to.
