Good device straight up not some cheap .... id have to upgrade down the track..... my alien 220w starter kit with the tfv8 baby tank i read the instructions got it going havent had any burning like some people ive read about and seems to produce a fair bit of vapour and taste good but its my first time so it could be ....ed and i just dont know.... what settings do "most" people use i know everyone's different from what ive read but somewhere close to the ball park would be helpful

And prime the coil with juice and allow to sit maybe 15 minutes, take some unpowered draws to get cotton saturated, and then follow @sonicbomb 's approach of low wattage and work your way up..
Don't be tempted to get "one more hit" when the juice is running low in your tank unless you are prepared to risk burning the coil and replacing it. I think the coils can last quite a long time if you always keep your tanks filled.

start low and slow.... vaping isnt "just like smoking"... its a whole new set of chemicals to get used to. Too many people get the subohm monster kit and find it is just way too much to handle at first. Most of us "older" vapers started on Egos and CE4s... they just didnt supply the heavy hitting vapor levels the new kits today offer... so in effect we were gradually introduced to stronger vape as time went on and thats why there is such a hi number of successful results. 
I worked my way up with the 220, started on about 20w, now up to 48.5 about a month and a half later. I changed to the V8 Baby X4's last week too.
When I first got it though, I shelfed it for 2 weeks. Took some real dedication to go hard at the DLI and get used to it and learn what the hell I was doing, which I am now.....you can't really see through my man cave at present........

Love my alien mod. One thing I have learned is I prefer to vape in lower wattages so I'm usually well under the max wattage for my coils. Welcome and happy vaping!

Lower wattages can work out great, you still get vapor volume but it's not quite as hot. I assume it's easier on the coils than running them at their maximum wattage as well...

Read the instructions, got good flavor, vapor, no burning...sounds like you've got it under control. Does it provide a pleasant experience for you? Think you can stay off cigarettes with it? Then you're doing it right.
Welcome to the forum. You've already gotten great advice. Nothing to add but, vape on. 
Also, that blue looks awesome man. You'll love your alien. I know I love mine.

Don't get wrapped up in the numbers, do what works for you. As suggested above start out low and work your way up if needed.
And a rule of thumb, most of the time a vapes sweet spot is somewhere in the 3.7-4.2 volt range, occasionally 3.2 to 4.7 in my experience.
Look at the resistance of your coil and use a calculator to determine the wattage you need for 3.2V. Alternatively, just use the screen on the mod to check your voltage. From 3.2 start taking hits and increasing in 0.5 watt increments until you get what you like.

Congratulations on your decision to abandon tobacco. In 2009 I started on pretty crude stuff. There were no settings. Since all I wanted was a tobacco alternative, that didn't bother me. My stuff still has no settings, well it does have airflow, but I leave that wide open. I'm not really interested in figuring out watts or amps or volts. Satisfy the nicotine craving and I'm good.
Howdy!
It sounds like you have started out on the right foot and you didn't cheap out when you bought your mod and tank. Keep in mind you will need to start getting back ups for everything. Always have extra put away.
