I was given the 100 Ml Sigelei with tank. I went to store to buy some juice . Only been using couple days quite smoking already?? The next time I went in he reaced the ? It needs to be replaced every 3 weeks After replacing he said I needed a bigger tank thT the one I had should only be used at 10 watts??? Although I was using it at 50 then down to 35 My friend had ALWSYS used it at 30 or more no problems . He told me to buy a suntank nano '@ 31.56 Why can't I use the one I had ??

Welcome Nee :)

Different tanks (toppers) use different kinds of coils (heating elements which vaporize the liquid) which have different resistances which in turn need different power levels to run properly. You don't mention what your original tank is or what the resistance of the coil is.

In "general", tanks with higher resistance coils (Aspire Nautilus for example) don't need to be run at super-high power because the coils would burn (which then burns the juice which then sucks!) When you use something like the Subtank Nano, it's coils are usually either 0.5 ohms or 1.2 ohms. You need more power applied to heat the coil enough to vaporize the juice.

So, my "short" answer is it might not be necessary to get a different tank. However, I don't know a whole lot about the Sigelei 100W mod. I can't tell what topper you're using, so I don't know if it's over-kill, under-kill, or just right....

When you can, take a read through these blog articles. There is a LOT of information on terminology, and battery safety. (18) Baditude's Blogs | E-Cigarette Forum

Keep asking questions - folks here will be glad to help where they can....
