new itaste 3.0 user

[ElectricFlowerChild]

Hello, I've been vaping off and on for about a year. I started out with the ego twist but wanted something alittle stronger. I stopped by my local vape shop and picked up a itaste 3.0 pro starter kit. I've been using it for some time and love it! I just have no idea how to use it. The man that sold it to me just said to keep it inbetween 15.0W and 25.0W, which I have been doing but theres some other settings that I have no idea what to do with. I've been looking through other posts and everyone seems to say that the numbers are up to the user but... can someone help me out with some numbers to start with and maby explain what the W V and Ω even mean? I know how to fill it/clean it/change the wick and whatnot but thats about it. Lol thanks and sorry I must sound like a mega noob!

W watts
V volts
and the funny looking thing is Ohm.

watts = volts x volts / ohms

if you use different coils, you will need to adjust the watts or volts

Okay so its fine as is? Can I improve the flavor by adjusting anything?

hi @ElectricFlowerChild and welcome to the forum. You have a very nice advanced kit. The mods (battery part) set the power to the coil (which is in the tank). In a regulated mod (your's is) you can set the voltage or the wattage. If you set the wattage, the mod sets the voltage and vice versa. It is a safety issue built into the regulated mod.

Just like edyle said, the funnly looking symbol is the ohm meter. It tells the mod what coil is in the tank so the mod can regulate the power. The general rule is the higher the number (example 1.8) the less volts/watts are needed to heat the coil to produce vape. When you use a sub ohm (any measure under 1.0 ohm/funny symbol) it generally takes more power to heat the coil to produce the vape.

The rule of thumb for EVERY vape device you will ever use is simple. "Start low power, take a draw, bump it up repeat. If it gets too warm, tastes funny or starts to taste burnt, back it down." It doesn't matter if you're using watts or volts to set the power, the same rule applies.

To find the sweet spot I recommend adjusting the power up in the manner I prescribed, then when you have it close, adjust the air flow options on the tank to see if you like it airy or tight. After you've used it some you'll be quite comfortable with this set up.

Good luck in your vape journey.

just start low and adjust up.
you can't start high and adjust down because once you start too high you burn something.

Do I start low with the Volts or the Watts or both?

either volts or watts...it does not matter

howdy - and welcome!

if you adjust one, the other should be adjusted automatically, as they are linked - i tend to adjust wattage, let the mod figure out the voltage

Volts are like how fast your engine is spinning in your car. Ohms are the size of your tires. Watts are how fast you're going . In short, start low on volts or watts. Increase slowly. Tastes a bit funky, back it off.

^^^ yeah the mod is smarter than either of us

It doesn't actually go up to 15-25 watts does it? Either way, start as low as 8 watts and go up slowly.
