When I go to change the setting's for the coil, it has "Ni/Ss/Ti/Tc" but that does not tell me what one I need to have selected for the Clapton coil. What is the 230 for? Temp control?

Wish I'de found this site when I started. You've Explained what I needed to know 4 months ago. HahaA "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are sub-ohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
- 06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
- 12 mg = 20 cigarettes
- 18 mg = 30 cigarettes
- 24 mg = 40 cigarettes
The Clapton coil should only be run in "power mode", not "temperature control" mode.
Here's the deal with the new SSOCC coils. SSOCC = Stainless Steel "coil housing" organic cotton coil.
Table from Fasttech.
- Pink O-Ring: Stainless Steel wire. Power or SS TC mode, your choice.
- Blue O-Ring: Nickel wire. Ni TC mode ONLY.
- Black O-Ring: "Clapton" coil. Probably Kanthal, Power Mode ONLY.
- Red O-Ring: NiChrome wire. Power Mode only. Made to use with the NiCh TC mode on the brand new Kanger TC mods. Doesn't actually TC according to reports. More work needed, we'll see. No other mods can TC it (TCR 0011ish... doesn't work).

Priming a Coil
When you are using a new coil for the first time, the wicks (usually they are cotton) have to be primed well with juice. If they are not primed well the cotton will burn. Once the cotton is burned the harsh/burnt taste doesn't go away.
To prime the coil, drop 5-8 drops (sometimes less/more depending on the size of the coil head) of juice right inside the coil, another drop of juice in all the holes on the side of the coil. Put the coil in the base.
Once you put the tank on the battery give it several unpowered primer puffs. This will make sure the wick is fully saturated.
- If Bottom Filling - Fill the tank and then screw the base back onto the tank.
- If Top Filling (some of the newer tanks are top filled) - Screw the tank on the base and then top fill it.
Rule of Thumb
The rule of thumb for EVERY regulated vape device you'll ever own is the same, when running in "power/wattage" mode. Start low power (wattage or voltage), take a draw, bump it up and repeat. If it starts to taste funny, gets too hot or tastes burnt, back it down. Different flavors will have different sweet spots so you just have to experiment.
Charging
Here are some safety guidelines I like to follow:
eLiquid/Juice
- If using 18650 batteries, a freestanding charger is highly recommended. Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur while charging. Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger are the most recommended brands.
- Plugging your mod into your computers usb port takes the battery much longer to charge and if the batteries protection fails you could risk blowing your computers motherboard.
- Don't leave the battery charging when someone is not around to unplug it when it is done charging. I also would not charge it overnight for the same reason.
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerin"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.
Have you accidentally dropped juice down stem when filling the tank? Or sucking to hard or laid the box and tank flat? Sometimes it's just juice condensation.The only problem I'm still having is I am still getting juice in the mouthpiece, maybe that is normal, I don't know, but it's making my nose run still
If you are seeing "Ni/Ss/Ti/Tc" those are the different wire settings for temperature control. You need to get out of TC control mode to run the Clapton coil. If the screen shows "230" you are in TC mode.When I go to change the setting's for the coil, it has "Ni/Ss/Ti/Tc" but that does not tell me what one I need to have selected for the Clapton coil.

I am not watching this video for an hour. I'm just gonna go to where I got the vape from and ask them i am done with this forum.
