Weird how you guys are all talking about the resistance of the coils. OP is using a regulated mod - just lower the watts on the mod. Switching to a different coil but still set at 30w won't change a thing. You're still vaping 30w. Press the little button and lower it to 25, see how you like that. Adjust up or down from there accordingly.
If you want to try less nicotine, try dilluting some of the liquid you have with vegetable glycerine (available at pharmacies). It'll tone down the flavor, but will give you an idea of the strength you want for the next time you purchase.
PS, I did all this trial and error when I first started on a mech mod and didn't have that option. Without VV/VW, we *had* to adjust power by resistance only. It's a brave new world out there. Embrace it.

Thanks man, I will try that. I have been switching wattage all day to find that sweet spot and the airflow. I haven't found it just yet though. It doesn't help that the flavour is rubbish

I agree man...but have you seem the difference in the airflow of the 0.4 and 0.6... It makes a huge difference in my opinion. And hence i just advised the OP what i thought will work out best for someone new to vaping.

Right on. Seems like you have a good handle on how to get started.
Actually, I think you picked a great time to start vaping. Even in just the past few years, devices have improved a mindboggling amount. It's just barely reaching that tipping point towards becoming mainstream, so finding good cheap mods and tanks is easier than ever. Yea, TPD sucks, but for the most part you can still get everything you need.
Learn what you like and what you don't like, then stock up for the vapocalypse. If you had waited another year or two, you'd probably be limited to philip morris products.

So will we not be able to buy bottles larger than 10ml? I've seen some online that are 30ml and I heard you will only be able to get 2ml tanks is that true?
depends on where you live. I think in Europe there's only 10 ml bottles now but the sellers are still selling bigger ones. I'm not too sure because i don't live in one of the western countries. Someone else might be able to tell you better about it.

I think to avoid all this I will just make my own liquids if I get really into it. Seems like yet another scam to me. "lets remove 10 pack cigarettes and 12.5g and 25g tobacco and make them pay more"

"Oh we are losing people to vaping, lets put a stop to that"
DIYing is the best thing man. You've full control over what you vape. And it's so much more cheaper. :)

You wouldn't believe how much time people spend in perfecting those recipes. They're unbelievably good. :)
Just need some patience :)

Just been looking now and it looks really fun to be completely honest. Just need to work out about PG and VG and percentages etc

For now I will use all my current flavours. I guess it's good to have a backup as some of these recipes need to steep for a week

Just seen one that takes 2 months!!
