Pretty long and hard. My husband wants to go to the vapor store tomorrow. Would it be better getting a new upgrade? I mean I know the coils will still go bad,but just wanting some insight into what I should look for ect
Ok there is problem one. Your draws (on that setup) should be slow and consistent into the mouth, then inhale into the lungs. They can be long draws but not forceful. Too much force on the inhale will cause the flooding you explained in an earlier post....."juice in my mouth ". ... the kit you have is a very basic starter kit but it is a huge update on where I started. If you get your technique down it should perform well. I used the original eVod tanks and could get almost two weeks before needing to replace the coils.

Hey everyone,

I am new to vaping (trying to quit smoking) and I am new here. I have the Lotus vapor and the coil in it just keeps going bad. I brought the replacements today and switched it out. Not even half a day and the coil went bad again. I use it ALOT. I am just sick of it going bad all the time. Can anyone help me?

That's why chronic smokers end up going rebuildable.
With a rebuildable you wrap your own coil.
And, you can use thicker wire so that it lasts longer,

But when you are new, the first problem is wicking; you can usually rewick and keep your coil running 10x longer; but the thin wire coils will eventually burn out

It all boils down to $$$$$$.

If you got the money get a upgrade i started with a ego after a week i was wanting more vapor the further i got from cigarettes. Aspire Nautilus Mini tanks are nice they will keep you satisfied and away from cigarettes completely and are very user friendly. The coil head should last you longer i got 5 days usually vaping about 6ml a day of chocolate mint. You can get replacement coil heads online roughly $10-$12 a 5 pack. You may want to get nautilus online also probally save some money but you have to wait for it to ship. They average $25ish online so your store may charge 35 or so but you get to vape it that day.

You really should be able to use that without too much trouble. You might want to start over again before you go out and buy something else before you even got that thing running. Do you know what the pg/vg ratio is of your liquid? If it's high in vg it might not wick well and cause a burning taste.

Take it apart, then make sure the coil head is screwed in snug, if it's not it could cause leaking.
Put it back together and blow through it with a paper towel or something at the other end to catch any excess liquid.( it could be flooded).
Now fill it with liquid, not over the end of the air tube of course.
Leave it sit for a few minutes, then take a couple of primer puffs, which means take a couple of puffs without pressing the button. This will pull liquid into the atomizer.
Now it should be ready to go, give it a whirl, not much to it.
