Hey, just bought a iStick tc60w, but i seem to get a sore throat or something when i use it, i have no idea how to have the settings 0,27 ohm i think, what should i have the watt and the temp control on? :)
Seems to get not much smoke out of it before it hurts my throat.

Get a higher ohm coil; nowadays 0.5 ohms is pretty common;
use wattage/power mode.
start at lowest wattage and move up slowly.

with the existing coil, you can just start low and move up gradually;

Your atomizer could be a Nickel 0.15ohm (Ni Temp mode), or the EC 0.3ohm (Normal watts mode). Eleaf do a Nickel 0.5ohm, but I don't think you have that one.

Either way. These are low resistance coils. You need to match the mode to the coil.

18mg liquid is very strong for a coil intended for 30-60w. I'm not fully sure how your mod works, but if you set it the wrong way or try to vape it with a low setting, you will not get much 'vapor' (smoke...)

If you had 6mg liquid (or 3mg) I would suggest using the temp control Nickel coil and see how you go with 25-40 watts/460-500 F. Not all mods work the same though. Some mods reduce the power to 'barely working' if you hit the temp too quickly, then it doesn't matter what you set the watts to, it won't go there.

If I had to guess, I'd say if the mod is reading 0.27ohms, it's probably the Nickel 200 temp coil.

Ni & Ti heads (coils) are for use in temperature control mode only.
It should auto detect the coil type the first time you thread on the delivery device, but, it sounds like you changed mode to power/watt.
You must select the appropriate mode from the menu of your power device for the coil material you are using - Ni or Ti, then set the temperature around 400f, bump the temp up /down to find a vape you like.

It isn't smoke...

Did you read the instructions / owners manual that came with it...
