Hello and need advice

[Baditude]

Is normal to be kinda hot when you inhale? Is like it is burning my lips..lol

You chose what amounts to be a mechanical mod which has some protection circuitry. That's good, and also not so good.

What's good is the protection circuitry makes it a little safer to use than an ordinary mechanical mod that doesn't have a protection chip.

What's not so good is there is no way to adjust your vape, like with a regulated mod. You won't be able to adjust the wattage output higher or lower to your preference. Lower wattage makes cooler vapor, higher wattage makes warmer (even hotter) vapor. You have one voltage/wattage output that can't be changed. A regulated mod probably would have been a better choice for you and given you more options.

You could try adjusting the air control in the tank. Experiment with different airflow settings to see if one better suits you.

If you are using the 0.15 ohm coils, try the 0.25 ohm coils. They may provide a slightly cooler vape.

All said, this setup is a sub-ohm setup. It naturally puts out hot vapor because the coil resistance is so low. Not all new vapors like or can tolerate the vapor of a sub-ohm setup. It took a few years vaping before I could tolerate subohm. Now its what I prefer.

Hopefully you'll adapt to your new setup. If not, consider a variable output device (regulated mod) and keep your old setup as a backup.

You also might consider a different tank. Something not a sub-ohm tank, but I have to wonder how well your mod will synch with a non-sub-ohm tank.

Having said that, new vapors sometimes need some time to adjust from smoking to vaping. Vapor is different than cigarette smoke. Make sure that you stay well hydrated, as vapor and the ingredients in e-liquid draws fluids from your lungs.

I was going to ask what wattage... The higher the wattage the hotter the vape, quite often. But, if it's fixed you can't control that. I would probably make sure the airflow is pretty wide open and the tank may heat up if you chainvape, so if you are feeling increased heat, put it down for a while.

That is a sub0hm, or DL vape, correct. That means you inhale straight down into your lungs. I was a 3 ppd smoker when I started out here on a DL setup and 12 mg/ml in a DL setup (where you are inhaling a larger volume of vapor per puff) is way too high so I'm guessing 6--9 might work out better for you.

My preference was to switch to a MTL (mouth to lung) setup which outputs less vapor per inhale, but uses a higher nicotine level and it's a little more similar to smoking a cigarette, where you inhale into your mouth and then down into your throat.

No right or wrong way to vape at all, but since you have started with this set up by all means try it out at different nicotine strengths and see what suits you best.

Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy it.

I would sometimes describe direct lung vaping as like using an asthma inhaler. The only difference is using an asthma inhaler takes a second with a short sharp inhale, whereas direct lung vaping may take several seconds.

Don't know if that helps.

I was looking here on forum and found that if i am a 20 cigarette smoker a day i should use 12 mg...but i have a feeling is to strong...

i.m.o. your choice of hardware and the power you vape at would normally play an important role in the nicotine strength.
12mg in a seriously sub-ohm vape pen is almost unheard of. I'd be using 1.5mg or 3mg max.
Think of it (maybe) like you are vaping at 10 times the power of a device from 2013.

Typical venders, First time vaper comes out with sub ohm setup, Not what i would call a introduction to vaping,
Your give up before you started.

I sub-ohm 18mg and have since I started vaping.

Hmm, something strange. the device is leaking somehow...and it was used as normal and stay in vertical position all the time.
Anyway after reading your replays(for which i thank you), i should get a MTL one?(i think this is called). Please can you give me some example? i was looking to vapestore website(i am based in UK) and i saw the
Innokin JEM Vape Kit

I like the look of that kit. I do not know anything about it but I love the idea of simple to use and it kinda gets you used to playing with wattage. now the leaking are you sure everything is tight? as to MTL(yes you are right) or DL that is up to you man did you try the DL hit? for me, DL was what made me stop smoking I love it shoot me a pm with a link to your vape shop so can see what you are looking at.

 

[Necrospecter]

looking at the site you sent me I would go with the Aspire Zelos 50w kit it comes with the Nautilus 2 Tank which I have heard lots of good things about and if you look at the What's in the box part you will see.

1 x 0.7ohm Nautilus BVC Atomizer (18-23W)
1 x 1.8ohm Nautilus BVC Atomizer (10-14W)(4.2-5.0W)

so you will have your choice MTL or DL

 

[Necrospecter]

It just hit me in your smok what coil you are you running? maybe try
Smok V8 X-Baby Q2 Dual Core Sub-Ohm Coils

 

[djsvapour]

I sub-ohm 18mg and have since I started vaping.

No problem.
I know a 24mg 80 watts vaper, so yes all things are possible.
Anyway, the OP (iirc) has a powerful pen e-cig and suspected 12mg was a bit strong. I guess, normally that wouldn't depend on whether we're talking 20w or 70w for a new user.

I have go back to the store with the device because it was leaking. Apparently, the girl who works yesterday didn't know how this works . Today girl apologizes and she told me that the liquid her colleague sold me is not suitable for this type. As i was needed a higher pg one(that why the device also was leaking). She gave me free a replacement liquid and everything is working now..even the air is not hot anymore and i was taken a 6mg liquid which i find ok. So everything is working now ...let me see how is going. Anyway from the time i was get to store and start using it i didint smoke yet normal cigarettes and is strange i dont feel the need to. fingers crossed

 

[Opinionated]

Well i made a decision. I was go to a store and got this. But i must confest..when i have tried it it was like i was smoking for the first time. I was looking here on forum and found that if i am a 20 cigarette smoker a day i should use 12 mg...but i have a feeling is to strong...

Hello.

That set up is the worst possible thing you could buy as a new vaper..

If your going to vape that you shouldn't use anything more than 6mg. nicotine - and possibly only 3mg.

That is not adjustable wattage so the only way you can tailor that battery to suit you is with your coils and which atomizer you use. Try the highest resistance coils for that atty, and go from there.

I would just buy something more suitable, as already suggested in this thread. .. what you got is NOT a good choice. Look up my other post in this thread for my recommendations.

Hey it's working for you great if it works go with it and when you are ready then we will start you down the world of TC, Box Mods, DIY Juice, and RDAs Good Luck

Hi again..i was brought even the aspire starter kit for my GF. She is doing well and also on my smok one is ok now. I basically used 4 normal cigarettes in 1 week and thats because only that friends coming and they used that...in other ways i dont feel any wish to smoke normal cigarettes anymore.
But i feel that i want something more so i was doing some research about it. Let me know if i get this right
- so as much i was able to understand is that if i want more cloud to feel i need to have more WATTAGE?
- If i also want more nicotine strength i need coils with > Ohm???
Also, let me know if for example the smoke mag kit will be able to deliver a lot of cloud thing, but I also want to be safe(safe in the way that the device works properly and don't have any surprise like blowing etc)

 

[stols001]

You need a lower resistance coil for higher wattages and yes, that will mean more clouds. The more you inhale, the less nicotine you need. If you want higher nic then coils with higher resistance are recommended and you will be using less wattage with them as that is what they are designed for. To get a ballpark you can check the recommended specs for wattage on the coil (although they are sometimes just guidelines, I often will vape below a coil's recommended wattage) but it will give you an idea.

Hope this answers one of your questions. The Smok mag should be fine for higher wattage if that's what you are after. You can also vape it at lower wattages, and have much greater battery life.
