Yeah, I like it too, so I'm curious is there a chance to use some rebuildable head in Prism 22?!
vape on!

I don't think so. The coil is made like a cartomizer. There's also no air-flow control. It's good at what it does. It has a draw much like a cigarette, is cheap and the coils last for a good while.

Get a blu or mark 10 use at first then after about a week you can vape without the coughing or throat burn

Dont understand the SS316L.. and how do i go in Tc on istick pico ? do you know? the manual i got only says how to fill with juice and few parts ....
I have a manual. I still use vw mode. Press 4 times to enter in wattage mode When device is off keep pressing fire buttone an the up button simultaneously, then you will enter into the tcr(m1,m2,m3) set menu. Press up or down to choose press fire to confirm then up or down to the tcr value according to material of coil

want a t22 now I googled it where did you buy yours?
I think what some of the others have said is on track. Most of us that started a while ago started with tanks that used coils that were over 1 ohm (commonly 1.5 or 1.8 ohm) and started with a technique that is referred to as mouth-to-lung (MTL). Like what was said, you take the vapor into your mouth first and then inhale it into your lungs. This is the way most people smoke cigarettes. With this technique, 12-18 mg nicotine is often used. Enter sub-ohm vaping, where the technique is to draw the vapor directly into your lungs (Direct-lung or DL). You get more vapor this way, but you need to have a tank with plenty of airflow and use lower nicotine concentrations (3-6 mg is common), otherwise the vapor is too hot and harsh for most people. You also go through more juice. These types of tanks are more popular these days, but may not be the best way to go for new vapers. The Pico is a nice little mod and one that I use. This will work with either style of vaping. The Melo on the other hand, is more of a direct-lung tank and frankly not the best tank, imo. I would recommend getting something like a Innokin T22 Prism Tank or other MTL tank. I've been using the T22 for some time and they are easy to use, cheap and work well.

vaping is not smoking... its totally different chemical wise and it takes time for your body to become accustomed to the new chemicals.... take tiny puffs and slowly adjust to bigger puffs and longer hold time...

imagine giving someone a ciggie who never smoked and see how they would react... pretty much like what you are going thru...

So i just got the istick pico melo3 and was so happy , but now i find out that i have been surfing the web for half a day to see if i did something wrong or missing cause i cant stop coughing and the burning throat ..... so i got it at around 10 w and i get almost if not less smoke than a normal cigarette , i tried higher W but that that kills me i start coughing right away , but the cloud is bigger , anyway i put the 0.3 coils burns then i put the 0.5 still burns , the juice that i use is from Liqua (bubble gum ) 12 nic i think ..... so i think i will smash it cause i am at the end of my road here .... any help ?

You're sub-ohm vaping 12mg nicotine. I would say that is what it's irritating your throat. I would stay at or below 6mg when sub-ohm vaping.

Chemicals? What chemicals? Cigarette smoke has chemicals, but I don't know of any chemicals in e-cig vapor.

That was supposed to be a joke. But yes, PG, VG and Nicotine are chemicals, as are all the compounds that make up the flavorings. So is water and all matter, for that matter. ;)

True.. The word chemical has a negative connotation. A lot of people think caustic or dangerous when they think of chemical, but you're right, even water is a chemical.

My husband uses eleaf ECML 0.75 ohm coils in the Melo but I think that's still a little low for him as he still coughs. My next move is to get some Triton coils for him - 1.5 ohm, I think. Vaping does take some getting used to, and it can dry you out and irritate your mucus membranes. Drink more water, lots more water. I even made sure I had chapstick on in the beginning because I was getting dry lips. Remember back to when you first started smoking, it probably came with some unpleasant feelings too.
