Hi,

My first post here as a new member, 4 more to go before i can start asking experts for advises.

i am very new to vaping and just got my hands on a Kangertech subox mini (brought in Singapore by a friend). Still experimenting with the device for my desired settings. Have been having dry and discomfort throat past few days ever since i started vaping. It might be the juice that im using (ejuice was from my friend supply, so far i dont have any juice ofmy own yet and still trying to get my hands on them) or the settings / coils or maybe all above, not sure myself at this point of time.

Anyway hope to talk to you guys soon.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Sounds like ya need a new coil. What mg. Nicotine are you using also what is the VG/pg ratio of the juice you are using. And what watts are you vaping it at, we need a Lil more info from you.

Hi and welcome. Yes, please, a bit more information and we'll try to help you get it properly set up. Considering your location, be careful about what you say. It is known SG security reads the board.

Hi, I have only got the device like 4 days ago. I have no idea what was the juice, ( i will check it out from my friend). As for the coil, im using the OCC that comes with the device, i believe its 0.5mm as stated from the manual and i am vaping at 19.5W.

Hi,
Yah, these e-cigs are banned in my locations and recently, our neighbor country, Malaysia, also banned on vaping.

I been trying to upload some photos of my device here but unsuccessful due to large file size.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Pum9kin. Glad to have you here!

Looking at your pdf file, you have a 1.5Ω coil running at 19.5 watts.

Priming a Coil

All cotton coils have to be primed well with juice. If they are not primed well the cotton will burn. Once the cotton is burned the burned taste doesn't go away.

To prime the coil, drop 5-8 drops (sometimes less/more depending on the size of the coil head) of juice right inside the coil, another drop of juice in all the holes on the side of the coil. Put the coil in the base.

• If Bottom Filling - Fill the tank and then screw the base back onto the tank.
• If Top Filling (some tanks are top filled) - Screw the tank on the base and then top fill it.

Once you put the tank on the battery give it several unpowered primer puffs. This will make sure the wick is fully saturated.

Rule of Thumb

The rule of thumb for EVERY vape device you'll ever own is the same (when running in power or wattage/voltage mode). Turn your voltage/wattage down, take a few hits, bump it up, couple more hits. Repeat until you find your "sweet spot". If it starts to taste funny, gets too hot or tastes burnt, back it down. Different flavors will have different sweet spots so you just have to experiment
