Breaking in a new coil

[dennism]

I've noticed that the consensus opinion is to start at low wattage and gradually work up to your desired watts. On my penguin and dolphin this is not possible, so I wonder how important gradual is as compared to priming (saturation) of the coils.

With the penguin saturation is paramount. I’ve heard of people literally saturating their coils overnight before firing them

I agree besides priming, priming, priming, I let them sit over night, and the needle trick works wonders.

Not only letting it sit overnight, but on my only non-adjustable wattage setup, I take fairly short hits and/or pulse the button when starting a new coil. Then try to release the fire button before stopping the draw. And if possible, I try not to start a new coil when the battery is fully charged. I have nothing at all to confirm any of that is necessary or even a good idea, just seems it might end up working out better.

That's also why I only have one non-adjustable mod.

I always give a few nonpowered pulls before firing, if I then get a semi dry hit, I repeat the steps, seems to work for me. I have 2 penguins and 2 dolphins, the more I use them the more I like them.
