Hello and welcome.
What tank and coil are you using? What wattage are you running it at?

Ello tank that came with the kit, wattage I've run from 40 to 100

Sorry forgot the coil: HW4 Quad Cylinder 0.3Ω Coil

Start out the coil at 25w after making sure the inside of the coil/cotton is primed completely letting it sit for 10 minutes, closing off the airflow while taking non-powered draws. The Eleaf coils usually run best at lower wattages. The rating or 'best at' wattage on the coil is just a suggestion and not necessarily what you will like.

Better thanks but still not much vapor but at least I don't nearly fall over when I take a lug now

Your old coil is probably shot and you should toss it out.

By the way, I have an Ikonn 220 and it is a fantastic, rugged and reliable mod. Good choice!

My only complaint is the dim screen and small font, but my eyes are old.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Might want to glance through these articles, may give you a few other ideas:

I got burning throat when I quit, and it sucked. More MTL vaping helped a lot, as did discovering I had a PG sensitivity. You could get a slightly less sub0hm tank if you wanted or possibly you could change your PG/VG ratios a bit, I also used nic salts (not at super high concentrations) but I was vaping 3 ppd when I got here, my throat (and entire respiratory system) was shot, the LAST thing I wanted was a throat hit, and reducing VG (which I am sensitive to anyway) and reducing freebase nic, which is a bit harsher, helped me out quite a bit. I can use freebase and vape more open tanks at slightly higher wattages but usually my highest wattage vape was like, less than 16 watts. Also, hydrate.

Also, I found THIS helpful when I got here:

Might be helpful, maybe not, but I found it helpful.
I also drank a ton of chamomile, honey and lemon tea, lemon sort of astringent, honey coated my throat and soothed it and the chamomile sort of tamped down my thoughts about killing people and chewing through my own arm and etc. It doesn't taste bad as an added bonus.

Good luck!

Use 1.5mg/ml liquid and mimic the draw strength, speed and duration in the video linked below.
It is far far far from a cigarette type of device.
