Batteries dying

[creative]

18 months ago I bought a simple epsilon starter kit, looked like a silver cigarette and I eventually reduced my nicotine juice to low, between 5 to 6 mg. Had no problems at all even stopped smoking from 2 packs a day to Zero.
I realised that the batteries were were slowly dying having to charge them 2/3 times a day.

Visited my local supplier who suggested a Mas30 battery pack and a ViviNova-s BDC atomisor.

Being a noob who just charged my previous pen and filled with juice when needed I am now in the realm of ohms, volts and watts.
1.8 ohms
9.6 volts
7.0 watts.
are the figures shown on the small screen.
This was the set up my vendor suggested, ok plenty of clouds but no hit.
I am able to change the watts output to reduce the amount of juice I use, but how do I regain the hit I had from my previous set up?
Any help would be appreciated.

Up the nico/juice.
Up the PG/juice.
Up voltage, wattage.
Lower resistance coil.
If above doesn't satisfy you,,you're in the market for a new atomizer..

^ That's about the best you can do without changing devices.

Thanks Daviedog,

The atomizer is two days old.
How do I up the voltage and reduce the coil resistance?

So bonskibon what you are saying is I have wasted my money ?

You can't change volts AND watts - you change one or the other...
I don't know your device well, but
a) it looks like a 30 watt box mod, kinda cute
b) VIvi Nova? Ugh. I'd look for a decent, modern tank. You probably want to get something where you can dial DOWN the airflow, as you aren't looking for "huge clouds". Perhaps an Asapire Nautilus - they're pretty highly recommended...

Then get in Watts mode, start low, and turn it up until it's vaping the way you like.

 

[daviedog]

Does your device have adjutable wattage? If so, start low, move up. If not, lower resistance coil. As an aside, didn't know the viva nova was still in production. 3 yr old tech..

I put a "^" to point to the post above mine in agreement with what was already posted. Sorry for confusion.

If you raise wattage,, you are raising voltage & current..

daviedog,
Yes it has adjustable wattage, I am at 7.0 watts at the moment.
If i increase to 8 I have lots of clouds but the juice is like the petrol used in a 12 cylinder Jaguar XJS . goes quickly.
Where would you suggest I start daviedog?

No problem Bonskibon I understand.
The problem here in Greece is that we still need to upgrade our knowledge and as we have so few vendors sites like ECF are a great help to those learning.

Try the older atty on the newer batt. Wash attys thoroughly try same juice. Taste bad, try a different juice. This is a laborious technique. But the only way to find out what is going on. We've all been there..

Need to know what hit type you are looking for.
When I hear the phrase throat hit, a tingle or buzz feeling comes to mind in the back of throat usually caused by the presents of nicotine.
Other Hit types dry, throat etc....
Mouth or lung?

Hit– The inhalation of vapor.

9.6v? I dont think thats right LOL. I'd find a better vendor, 8w max on the Nova I'd say. Add PG like 50 or 60% has a good hit. When you go to replace the BDC get the BVC... taste better. I stil use EVOD's alot, the Nova is simular... if you think that eats juice wait till you try sub ohming lol! 3x more juice just to make clouds.

Those numbers are not right not sure what is going on
