Got my new Kanger Topbox Mini - need help understanding it, please!

Yeah, that's it. Fire by pressing the fire button. That button can have other functions, like 5 clicks to turn on or off, and sometimes deep in the menus too. And those are good batteries, well done.

Thats it!!!!! I fired it!!!!! It recognized the 1.2ohms on its own this time around. Guess it was the low battery that caused it.

I'm at 10Watts, not getting a huge cloud like others do though

You won't get huge clouds at 10 watts, or from the 1.2 ohm coils. You need more power (watts) for the big clouds, and you'll need more coil mass (read: lower ohms) to be able to handle the extra power. Try the 0.5 coil at around 25 watts (I don't know what nic level you're using, but you may want to cut it in half before you try this. Those big sub-ohm clouds pack a lot more punch than the little tootle-puffs you're used to.)

as the above member said, even with 1.2 ohm coils I find myself running between 20-40 watts for a decent vape (my preference of course).

lower ohms on the coils = higher wattage needed on device for flavor and vapor. Just tinker around a bit with the wattage to see what you like

Well done! I am glad it's working. As has been said, the 1.2Ω coils are not for cloud. You have two others that might work for you; the .5 Kanthal and the .5 Clapton. Those, however, will require a lot more power. No prob, your machine will do it, but remember it'll be like switching from drinking through a straw to a fire hose. And yes, definitely cut your nic down before going subohm. You'll be getting a lot more vapor per puff, and thus a lot more nicotine.

EDIT: You can raise the watts some on the 1.2 coils. I personally wouldn't go over abut 17-20 on them. That will give you a bit more cloud.

it doesn't come with a Manual thing in the box?

No clouds here either. (on purpose, in the office...)
