hey all

[Sphoenix]

ok, so ive been puffing away on my ecigs for bout 18 months. still have the occasional real cig normally only when something breaks, I'm still on 1.8mg was hoping to drop it by now but when I do I find I want cigs more. i'm currently using a Mudder tank from amazon with adjustable airflow and 2200 mAh battery. I tried my cousins mod at a party and it was amazing, the flavour the vape all good. so now I really want to upgrade to something like she had. only trouble is none of what she told me made sence, resistance and something about not mouth to lung.
please help. I tried to find info on sr vape site but I just ended up more confused

Hello and welcome to the forum @Sphoenix. Glad to have you here!

She most likely has a box mod with a subΩ clearomizer (tank that uses stock coils).

There are MANY different ones.

• Anything from 20 - 200 watts (power).
• Some allow you to run in wattage & temperature control mode (eliminates dry/burnt hits).
• Some have internal batteries (like what you have) others take an 18650 cell you need an external charger to charge it.

Lower Ohm Coils Will:

• Heat The Coil Faster
• Produce More Vapor
• Drain The Battery Faster
• Use E-Juice Faster
• Produce A Warmer Tasting Vape

Higher Ohm Coils Will:

• Heat The Coil Slower, Which Will Produce “Less” Vapor
• Provide A “Cooler” Tasting Vape
• Use Less E-Juice
• Prolong Battery Life

A variable power battery (voltage and/or wattage) is advantageous in being able to adjust the power output to the user's preference. Not all flavors taste their best at a single fixed voltage. For example, most fruit flavors are best at a lower power setting, while flavors like tobacco or coffee flavors may taste better at a higher setting. However, this is very subjective to the individual vaper's personal taste.

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping or looking to upgrade.

• Proper Terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments
