Questions as a beginner here!

Im very very new to vaping and i smoked some cigarettes for a year now so i'll try to use vape to be safe earlier from cigarettes. I just bout the topbox Mini 75w last day and there are some stuff i want to know regarding the safety and maintenance:
(I currently use the rba mini plus)

Q1. When and how often do i need to change my coil and wick? I usually vape around 8ml to 12ml a day because its really really good. (I use a toptank fill btw)

Q2. The driptip of my RBA gets really hot at 25-30w so i'm just stock at 20w and i can't get the full 75w. The resistance of my coil is 0.33. What can i do so that i can get the full 75w?

Q3. I might buy another 18650 battery and a single charger so i can change battery and charge the other one, is that safe?

Q4. As mentioned earlier, im using the RBA mini plus, Can i use the NI,TI,etc optin in my kbox? Can i also use the Temp Control feature?

I might add some more if i can remember. Thanks for any answers in my questions

When your vape tastes burnt, change wicks, remember to do a dry burn to remove gunk.
I change my coils when I feel like changing them seriously. When doing a dry burn and I don't like how my coil looks like, change.

Q2. The driptip of my RBA gets really hot at 25-30w so i'm just stock at 20w and i can't get the full 75w. The resistance of my coil is 0.33. What can i do so that i can get the full 75w?

Build a higher resistance coil. Personally, I use my RDA at about 15-20w, and my tank at about 25-30w myself, but have a mod good for 70w ... never had to put it higher than 35w, too hot for me.

Q3. I might buy another 18650 battery and a single charger so i can change battery and charge the other one, is that safe?

Yep.

Q4. As mentioned earlier, im using the RBA mini plus, Can i use the NI,TI,etc optin in my kbox? Can i also use the Temp Control feature?

Different coils for different settings. Ti and Ni for TC mode ... I think.

Welcome to ECF! I think Elvensilvan pretty much covered it.

Q1. When it looks dirty and start to taste dirty and perform less as compared to when it was new.

Q2. Generally the lower the resistance, the higher the wattage. Either put dual coils or get a coil with a lower resistance. 0.2 should get you closer to 75w. However there is no need to be vaping at 75w, you'll likely get more vape/smoke but the flavor etc might be less. So give it a try but remember you can be happy at 30w, its perfectly legal.

Q3. Yes but pls buy good batteries. Samsung, Sony etc. See links provided.

Q4. Yes for temperature control you will need a Ti(tanium) or Ni(ckel) coil. You can buy them or make them if you buy the wire. Read up on TC vaping for beginners. Its not that different otherwise but their are a few things you need to know like locking in resistance etc.

I might add some more if i can remember. Thanks for any answers in my questions

#1. Change thr wick and dry burn the Kanthal, and possibly stainless steel. Do not dry burn nickel and titanium. Dry burning the coil burns the gunk off tgr coil.

My coils last about 2 1-2-3 1/2 months.

#2. There are two things you can do.

a. Open the airflow more if it is partially closed.

b. Change the drip tip to silicone or tip with delrin base.

Just because a mod will pump out 75-200 watts doesn't mean you hsve to use it at full power. Not much is worse than inhaling burning cotton.

I say dial in a satisfying vape and call it good.

I almost never go above 15 watts. There is one diy juice i vape at 8 watts.

3. Getting a separate charger is a fantastic idea.

Charging batteries in the mod is a terrible idea, i am glad some modders have included a micro usb that is ONLY for updating tge firmware.

Sometimes batteries have problems when charging. I would rather a battery ruin a charger than my mod. I can replace the charger for $14. If i only have one mod i am back on the stinkies until i get another mod.

4. You can wrap nickel and titanium wire and use thr coils in your rba. In fact i would recommend it because the flavor is better, and the coils last longer.

There IS one caveat. ONLY USE NICKEL AND TITANIUM IN TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODE.

Hi and welcome. You've got the advice you need above. I agree, and have nothing to add. Well, maybe one thing: building a higher resistance coil will cool the vape, but switching to a Delrin drip tip, and/or adding a heat sink between the tank and tip, will help keep the tip cool.

Thanks Bro. Yes a tip with heat sink fins would help cool the tip.
