Best advice for a UFS noob (like me)

[Tgoode]

From my last couple days of vaping with a UFS, I offer the following advice...

If you usually like a 1.5 ohm atty, use a 2.3 ohm one until you get the hang of using it.

You will get dry hits and with a 1.5 they're only going to hurt more.

Been using mine for less than a month now,and still learning lil tricks (at least,tricks that work for me,vets,please validate);

Main one being to use air draw to help feed juice.

Airy draw will produce dry hits,but if you adjust the draw to be on the tightish side,I find that it kinda auto-feed the juice (provided enough juice is dialed) to the atty. (juice control is almost opened fully!)
I can chain-vape the damn thing using these adjustments!

Yeah, I'm doing the same.

If there was only one thing I would change, it would be to add graduation marks around the top of the collection tank, with an index marker on the control ring and the bottom section of the tank. It would be nice to be able to note specific settings as starting points for a particular juice at a particular temperature, and then adjust from there as the juice in the tank warms up during use.

Here's another peice of advice. If you have a label maker, make some indexing strips, like this

It takes the guesswork out of getting a repeatable vape.

The marks on mine go from one to eight. The mark on the tank base lines up with the eight when the liquid feed is closed. I don't have any index on the air feed, I jut adjust it and the top cap by feel and sound. If it draws like a cigarette the air feed is correct and if I hear air getting in at the top cap, I'm good to go.

By doing this I know that for a given liquid (halo TriBeCa in this case) I get a good result when the UFS is cold with the liquid feed at just over 5. As it heats up, I close it a little to about 5.5. When I step away from the GG for a while, I close the liquid feed and the control ring. Coming back an hour later, dial the liquid to just over 5, open the air to the right draw restance, do a couple quick priming draws and light it up. Minor adjustments as it heats up and it's good to go.
