hello new here .. also have a question using my sigelei 150 box with an artic tank 0.25 coil
it seems like anything over 45-50w I'm getting dry hits .. is this normal

Hi and welcome! Is that with a new coil, or one in use for some time? What type of juice are you using, high VG?

Welcome to ECF. Sounds about right,
some coil and juice combinations may handle more power, some less.
Keep it where it works best. Dry hitting it isn't pleasant and will reduce the life of the coil. imo. Cheers.

brand new coil less than 24 hours old .. juice is 70/30 . first coil burnt up right after priming so they replaced it .. really I cant wait to dive into the tfv8 ... this vaping at a low 40-50w on a 0.25 coil is for the birds .
went back to this tank and coil build after my artic v8 went south ... no one knows why even after buying 2-3 coils it just leaks .

Really doesn't matter how old the coil is. If too much power has been applied and some of the cotton burns away, as in dry hit, any coil is prone to leak after that.

As you work up the power on a new coil or device, at the first sign of bad taste or dryness back off the power a bit and give the wick a minute to catch up before hitting it again. At least this is how I've been doing it. YMMV.

thanks for the advice .. will keep this in mind for sure ... once I can swing the TFV8 I think/pray things will get better .. I guess running my artic v8 at 100w spoiled me .. ;-)
