so... is your problem with the Smok Mag P3 or the Smok TFV16 tank on top of it?
Don't know what the minimum wattage is on one of those mods, but I'm sure it's too low to operate the coils in the tank.

I am assuming you mean the .12 dual mesh coils.

Go ahead and run us thru your prep and we might be able to help out.

thank you for the reply yes it was the green and black kit tfv16 tank on op primed the coil before use started it at 30 watts no flavour broke the coilin like that put it up to 60watts was getting a dry hit put it back to 30 watts still no flavour if I put it was left to stand for a hour before use, at the moment using the dual mesh smoke coil .12 ohm coil,also did the same with the triple coil and single coil if I go above 30watts it starts to give dry hits if I go to the best 120 watts it burns the coil I can see red in the juice holes only have one dual coil mesh left be another pack gone. its a shaime as I waited a month for this to come and its been a huge let down for me, ben thinking of going back to my crown 4 that always hase good flavour and clouds good reliable mod kit running in tc mode,any help with this I would be very grateful

Sounds like you don't have your air flow open fully.
Open up your vents, put a few heavy drops of your eliquid straight down the center hole of your tank, give it a couple drags without power and then give it a drag or 2 with power. Add eliquid in this fashion as needed and turn the power up slowly. It may help you prime your coil.
I would start with about 40watts. .12ohms need more power than 30 watts normally.

my problem is with the t16 tank on top but I bought the kit tank and mod
Hi,
Watch this video and mimic the reviewers draw strength and speed.

That tank NEEDS huge air flow to cool the coils and feed juice.
If you are trying to get a relaxed 5 second draw from the unit, it WILL disappoint.

I did try driping juice down the tip but the cotton swelled up and cut the air off
Impossible on a factory made Smok Mesh Coil...

We sell a ton of Mesh and Max Mesh coil heads for the Prince tank and they have absolutely no problem wicking 80% VG and higher juice. What are you using for juice?
