Plus the AFC on the M and MS is different - instead of a screw, like the original, it has a controller on the base that you turn.

I like the screw

Did I screw up taking my first hits at 4.4v?

Probably. Those are single coils so they require much less wattage than the duals. And once you've burned your cotton filler, it's toast.

I suggest you "prime" your coil before you use it--just put a few drops directly into the coil and let that sit and saturate the filler. They are really like old fashioned cartomizers and making sure that the filler is comlpletely saturated is critical.

This is one of the reasons I prefer vertical coils myself.

BTW--did you, by any chance, use an istick 20? It fires a whole full volt higher than the display indicates...

I need advice. I just started using one of the new organic 1.2ohm coils and I think I screwed it up.

I want to give a review of the new 1.2ohm coils but I need advice

I put it in a GS AIr M tank and I thought I primed it well enough. I usually just take 7 or 8 dry hits on a new coil while letting it sit for 5 minutes but it gave me a very bad throat burning hit of I guess burnt cotton.

It continued to give these throat burning burnt hits for about 10 hits. Did I screw up taking my first hits at 4.4v? I know people say to start at low voltage on a new coil but I didn't. I forgot

What is the proper method to prime a coil? Specifically these new cotton 1.2ohm ones

I've never had a problem with the old 1.5ohm coils using the method is described

I'm thinking of tossing the coil after i get advice as it's still not giving good hits. They taste bad and burn my throat. Not a throat hit but burning my throat. About 15 hits in to coil.

I can't address the coil you are referring to, but I have always put 2-3 drops straight down the little chimney on new coils prior to installing them in the tank and have
never had a dry hit. I don't wait for it to soak in either. Prime coil, fill tank, assemble and vape. Some feedback on this has said it floods the tank...2-3 drops!
Others have had success doing this. on that note, I would rather flood a coil than have a dry hit that haunts the coil for it's useful life!

Great minds think alike!

Can anyone tell me the basic difference between them all? The original Air, the Air M and the Air MS...

Well yeah! Everyone likes the screw!

Fantastic, I could not remember who compiled that info! Isn't it in your blog?

Edit to add: Must remember to refer folks to our blog for a compendium of Air info!

You were runnin about 13w but the 1.2 at the same voltage would be about 16w. Sounds like you might need to wait a little longer for a good prime. I always drop juice in my coil, too, before filling and take a couple of light hits to ensure it is primed well.

Yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the picture I was looking for!

No I used an iStick 30w. So I should dump the coil and put liquid directly on the coil and make sure it's well saturated.

I was hoping to save the coil but I think that bad taste is there for good

I've been vaping on the 1.5ohms at around 12w and 4.4v

So I should lower the voltage to 4.1 or 4.2? Maybe just use 12w-12.5w which looks like 4.0v

I don't think this coil is coming back. The taste is horrible and it's still burning my throat

EDIT:m I did what you said and put about 7 or 8 drops on the two coil holes until it wouldn't absorbe any more liquid. The new coil vapes great

I need to learn this as i've never primed this way. i'm lazy. I'm going to see if I can get the first coil back

Thank you

Good time to learn to rebuild..

Don't throw away coils! Youmight want to rebuild some day like Bikenstein suggested...

Dual coil can take twice the wattage of single coils. Your 1.5Ω GS coil actually consists of two 3Ω coils. A single 1.2 coil is just that-- a single 1.2Ω coil.

Your coil is toast--cotton burns. You can rebuild it...

Grab a new coil, saturate the filler, and dial your wattage down--way down.

Start at 6 or 7 watts and take it from there...
