That is very nice looking! I think color is a thing Smok does do really well. If you are using drop in coils in that tank, the mod should read them for you, no worries. For recommended wattages, well the coil usually prints it alongside the resistance on the side of the coil, which should give you some wattage ranges as a starting point, it's fine to be below above can and sometimes will shorten coil life. Don't forget to prime it.

If you are using a rebuildable, well, the tank is still going to read the resistance although lots of folks will use an ohm's reader first (I do, mainly because I hate leaking all over my expensive mod as I build it, but I want to say I think you have a drop in coil tank on there?

The guy in the vape shop primed it and set everything up for me and went through most of the setting in detail. He was so much help.

The place even serves coffee and has basketball hoops!

Your mod will do the calculating when you're using low resistance coils (=lower the voltage, so an appropriately low amount of amps are drawn). Just stay in Variable Wattage mode, and you'll be good to go. Short read for you HERE.
Thank you so much! You guys are great! Always giving me great advice!

Oh, if you don't already know:
Once you get rid off the EU coils, your tank volume automatically upgrades to 4ml. Then take a look at this list of compatible coils to maximise your choice (alternatively, buy the cheapest coils^^)
I didn't know this! Thanks so much.

It came with an additional coil

Smok was a bit more clever than other manufacturers. Instead of changing their hardware to comply with the TPD, they simply produced a batch of bulkier coils which take away tank volume. Another manufacturer simply inserted a silicon piece into its tank, which lowers the tank volume and makes it TPD compliant, but which can be simply pulled out with no difficulty by the user. I like that kind of cheekiness when dealing with nonsensical EU regulations.

Sounds like a great vape shop!! Learn as much as you can from them, here and online especially about batteries and battery safety!!

Enjoy your new mod!!

Seems I wasn't entirely correct. It looks like you may needs a smal chimney adapter (HERE) - and if you want : a 7ml extension glass (HERE) - both just for demonstration, ofc you can order them anywhere you like. SMOK parts are widely available.

This image should be illuminating

Most interesting, and news to me.
