I started with 24mg on my vape pen. When I got the eleaf I started going down to about 18mg. I have juices coming in that are 16mg because I figured if I really liked a juice I would probably vape more. I plan to going down to at least 12mg and staying there for a while until I feel comfortable enough for even lower amounts. I don't subohm and stay within 4 to 8 watts.


Holy cow , 4 to 8 watts , minimum i vape at is around 8 watts and maximum is around 13 watts , don't even know if 4 watts would power a tank lol.

Generally the only time I see dawn is when I haven't yet gone to bed. :D And I have no need to get up early, nor to bring any food items into the bedroom -- most days, my time is my own; I do with it as I will. The major point I was making is that the technique for really satisfying vaping is a bit different from cigarette smoking, though a) when you first start vaping, you may not be fully aware of that difference and how it can affect one's satisfaction with vaping, and b) when one first gets up, one is not often thinking consciously about anything, just following rote patterns while one's brain wakes up -- that last, I think, is what was getting in my way, because the rest of the day, I didn't have any trouble with vaping satisfying my urge to smoke -- only during that half-awake time when the brain is operating somewhat in 'auto-pilot' mode. Once I actually realized what was going on, I could correct the problem -- and the result of that correction was immediate: smoke-free starting from that day.

I did go thru a phase where I took a special "morning vape" -- high nicotine, low TH -- to bed with me, and started on that the moment my feet hit the floor in the mornings, but after a few months, it was no longer necessary; now I generally wait about 15 mins before I have my first vape, to give my asthmatic lungs a chance to do any coughing up and then settling down; when I smoked I had to wait about a half hour on that, so 15 mins is no hardship. But yeah, at first I had to power thru the morning asthma, to avoid morning cigarette cravings that might derail the whole effort.

Yup got two daughters with asthma who are nurses and used to smoke like chimneys and now vape and who have been through this routine. When they vist they join me for tea at dawn...best time of my life.

I am using the 1.5 coils that came with my tank, but do have 1.8 replacement coils I bought. I am vaping at 7.3 watts and reads 3.3 volts. Is this ok?

Sounds good and safe to me - if the vapour doesn't quite satisfy you just ease it up by gentle stages.

Now I'm all worried. :(
Please don't worry. You vape at whatever YOU like to vape at. I am a very cool voltage vaper also.
I never, ever vape at 4v. Ever. My preferred voltage is set at 3.5v with 1.5 coil. I seriously like the cooler vape. :)

You are doing FANTASTIC! You vape at what it feels and tastes good to YOU. Only you. All the numbers are just that. Something to give you a starting point. Then you adjust to what suits you. Even if the device doesn't give you the absolute correct information, you can still only go by what tastes right for You. ;)

Sometimes, even if the mod works correctly with "stepping down" for lower wattages, some attys just don't do too well with higher wattages -- I vape at 9w, but it's a rebuildable dripper, not a tank that needs replacement coils -- when I used those, I generally stayed in the 6w-8w range. There are a lot of factors like airflow and coil size in play, but if a higher wattage is not comfortable for you, then you shouldn't try it, even if others can vape it very comfortably -- whatever works for YOU is all that really matters. If you get to a point where what you use now doesn't seem to satisfy you, you can explore other options, but you know the old saying... if it ain't broke... ;)
