Need help with optimal settings for a new vaper

[caligirlINky]

hope im posting this in the right place. didnt see a thread for his setup under the specific models.

my hubby is trying for the 3rd time to get off the analogs. yesterday, he bought the new kanger topbox 75w mini and is using the nico atty with the temp at 300, wattage at 75. its very cool so its not so irritating on his throat til he gets used to it again. its just not giving out much vapor which i think is why hes already buying a pack of smokes... that and hes not using it nearly enough to keep his nicotine levels up.

anyone using this yet and could give me some suggestions on where his settings should be so hes getting enough vapor to feel like hes smoking but not so harsh on his throat that he has a coughing attack w each vape??

i use a pegasus aspire w kanger submini at 30w with the air holes wide open. i get lots of vapor and flavor but its not hot or harsh. like to get him to something similar on his setup.

Turn down the wattage and turn up the temp. When I use temp control I have it set to 50w and between 480 and 510 degrees, although I'm not familiar with his rig those perimeters have been solid on all of the mods and tc builds I have used

If he is having coughing fits make sure he is not inhaling like a cigarette, quickly. I can't tell you how many non-vapers try my setup and cough like mad till I ask them how they were inhaling.

Slow and steady wins the vape race. If that doesn't work then look at the equipment settings.

Ditto what @VaporDaze said.

i changed his settings to 50w at 400, 450, n 500. at first, i wasnt getting anything out of it so i thought the atty wasnt working.

seems to be ok now. much more vapor n i can barely feel it in my throat at 400 and 450 so im hoping it will be ok on his. this is the first time ive used one w temp control so i wasnt sure how that worked.

ill ask him if hes doing a straight inhale or holding it first. i use mine like when i smoked but ive been vaping for 3 yrs and quit the analogs the day i started vaping.

I inhale directly to my lungs but I do very slowly and gently, if I inhale like a cig it makes me cough something awful. I think that is a by product of being a long time "other" smoker and it feeling more natural.

Yep, wattage down to the 30-50W range and ramp the temp up to the mid 400's and work up on the temp from there. That should boost the vapor production and give a more satisfying vape. It's a little typical when you're not getting the vapor to take harder/longer pulls, which really isn't the solution.

Very minimal TC primer: wattage setting determines how quickly the coil is going to reach the set temperature (ramp up time). Higher wattage settings decrease the ramp up time but will also have the mod pulsing the power to maintain the set temperature, which is not always a satisfying experience. Use a wattage somewhere in the low-to-mid range of what the mod supports. Temperature setting will control the amount of vapor and eventually whether the vapor is cool or moving into the warm range. Start with the temp set low in the 400 range and adjust up to get the desired vapor density and warmth.

Perhaps the juice is too strong for the wattage being used.

 

[caligirlINky]

he got 6mg so it shouldnt be. i was actually afraid it was too weak for the amount of tobacco he smokes (2pks a day) but i also know anything much over 6 in the subohms is harsh.

thanks for the info. since i hadnt used the nico/temp control before, i didnt know what to tell him about how to adjust it in conjuction with the wattage. i have heard alot of ppl say they like the subminis on as high a wattage as they can get. i like mine at 30w without any temp control.

when ppl quit smoking, they usually cough more for 6-12 months until all that tar gets loosened up and comes out. i would assume vaping doesnt have any effect on that (meaning the coughing still gets worse and lungs clear out) since vaping doesnt add to or hold in the tar in the lungs.

6mg in a sub-ohm may not be out of line at all for a 2PADS converting to vaping. Using TC may actually be a better route with higher nic content in sub-ohm.

When using TC, it's really all about the temp; the wattage being applied is secondary. The key with wattage in TC mode is finding a setting that keeps the power being applied relatively in a steady manner; think of the gas pedal in a car: you can go from light to light by smashing the pedal and jamming the brakes, or accelerating smoothly and cruising. Which is easier?

When I use TC I like to have my watts set to where it reaches the desired temperature towards the end of my pull, but I take longer slower pulls, probably around 4-5 seconds. This way I avoid the pulsing that was mentioned earlier.

 

[chinacatsunflower-]

I don't know much about TC, but if he smokes two packs a day, 6mg/ml may be a touch too low for him (even sub-ohming). He'll go through juice like a madman to be satisfied each and every time he needs relief.

My settings using Topbox mini with Nickel coil:
TC Mode, 400F, I cannot change wattage as it automatically adjusts when I hit the vape button... Inhale slow and steady for atleast 5 secs... Airhole fully open... for me the flavor and vape production is fine... I am a newbie vaper and I did not experience coughing...

 

[Just Want To Quit]

You can't adjust your wattage in TC mode on the KBOX guys.

 

[sucram]

has he used your set up? how does he like it?

Might be easier to just use something similar to what you use and tweak it from there

 

[sawlight]

If the Topbox is anything like the Dripbox, it's pretty airy, you may need to choke down the air flow control to tighten up the draw some. Most people take some time before the can do direct lung hits vaping. Just a thought.
