Hi welcome.
I looked up the BF coil 1.5 ohm 8W-20W and it is a clapton coil designed to use in wattage mode between 8 and 20 watts rating
So set watts to around 8 w and try it that way. You can slowly up wattage if needed.

Hi Cindy. Welcome to the ECF.
If you haven't started to use your eGrip II yet, be sure to put a Few Drops of e-liquid in the New Coil-Head before you put it in your eGrip.
We call that "Priming the Coil". And you do this Every Time you put in a New Coil-Head.
And like Beamslider said, make sure you are in Wattage Mode and start with 8 Watts. Then slowly Raise the Wattage until you get the Hit you want.
If it starts to Taste Burnt, it means the Watts are set Too High.
When a Mod is in Wattage Mode (or Variable Wattage - its the same thing) you will usually see a VW somewhere on the screen.
At about 1:30 in this video it shows how to Change/Select the Mode you want.
You want Variable Wattage Mode.
Yeah I watched that but I don't understand all the modes as they are in vw, vt-ni etc
BTW - If you ever see a YouTube video posted here on the ECF, sometimes it helps to make it Full Screen by clicking on the Full Screen Icon in the Lower Right Hand corner of the Video Screen.
vw = variable wattage (mode you wanna use with the coils you have in the tank right now)
vv = variable voltage (not something you want)
tc = temperature control
ss = stainless steel
Ni = nickel
Ti = titanium
Anything else don't bother with it, anything like tcr and such are advanced stuff you'll most likely never have to worry about.
NB: vt = variable temperature which is the same as tc
Right Now, it Isn't super critical to know exactly what each Mode is and does.
And I would Suggest that anyone who is New to all this stick with Variable Wattage (VW) Mode until they get a little more familiar with using their Mod.
Variable Wattage (VW) Mode: Let's the user adjust the Hit by Increasing/Decreasing the Wattage. Much like you adjust the Light of a Lamp using a Dimmer Switch. It is the Easiest Mode to use/learn on.
The others (besides VW) are for various temp control wire types, nothing you need to be concerned with at this point.
Set it to VW, start around 8W, gradually increase power in small increments taking a few vapes on each setting until you find what you like best. If you get a odd, off, harsh, hot or funky taste turn the power down.
You are getting good advice. Most new vapers don't go immediately into temp vaping, as it can get complicated. But, you can do fine if you stay in wattage mode and don't overwhelm your coil with too many watts. Most of all, welcome to ECF and I hope things are starting to get clearer
