Not missing cigs at all

[JaPar]

Hi, I am new to vaping, started about two months ago with an evic vtc mini and got addicted to the vaping world (reading, watching reviews, ...), it's really fascinating for a gadget freak. In my first month I continued to smoke, I smoked a pack of Marlboro Reds a day for a long time, and then I just stopped buying them. And I am surprised that I don't miss it at all, not a single craving. It sounds weird that I have so little problems with quitting. I am even standing outside between smokers and do not even imagine about asking one of them for a cigarette. In the mean time I have bought some ecigs that are easy to take along, I love my eRoll and have the ePuffer also with 1.2. Bought some extra tanks but I am still struggling with the settings on the eVic ( like amount of Watt). Some coils state 40 to 60 Watt for example but I can't stand the taste. Feels like I am still missing a hassle free cloud experience, it seems to go well when I take a new tank + liquid home from the shop but after one day I'll get some kind of trouble. Last week I bought the Joyetech Ultimo with Beard Vape 24 (which is awesome btw) but the next day it started leaking when I had to refill. Any tips for a set up that allows full flavour and no worries?

Ignore the wattage 'recommendations' written on coils - or just use them to start at 50% of their minimum and then slowly work up until you get the vape you like.

Always remember to prime your wicking properly before filling the tank and then vaping on them.

Hi, thanks for the advice, I already found it weird that I prefer a lower wattage than the minimum. Someone also told me to stay below 4 volts as a rule. This forum is very helpful as well

It's a curious subject. You can run some tanks/atomizers under 4.0v and be creating an absurd amount of vapor. You could also run a higher resistance at 5 or 6 volts and have no problems whatsoever.
I don't claim to understand much of it, but I have heard of people being scared to vape over 5v because of some scare story in the media.
I would say, if you prefer a lower wattage than the minimum you might consider higher resistance coils.
Low resistance ones are designed to wick the liquid fast, make lots of vapor and allow more airflow.
There are no hard and fast rules as such, but low resistance coils run at too low power can (and often do) flood if you are unlucky.

Welcome and glad you joined.

Best advice I can give is start simple and try to learn every basic part of vaping, then step up to advance ways of vape. Some folks inadvertently sell the novice advanced equipment which multiplies vaping complexities. The poor learner is flooded with to many variables and never gets the basics down pat. It helps to know what you want (which direction you want to head towards) before you leap.
Hang in there and keep experimenting. Your half way there.
