I currently own a 3ml baby stick 22mm, a big baby (with smok stick) 24.5mm and a second 24.5mm big baby for my target vaping setup. I just ordered a new 22mm baby tank as a back up.

i KNOW nothing about which coils to use or how to properly prime. some of them came with M2 .15 ohm coils and they had a nice resistance. One actually lasted 2 weeks using it very heavily! it held decent flavor and the M2 survived a very long time. I purchased the V8 T8 coils, (BAD IDEA), they are burning SO hot in my baby 22mm tank its insane.

I need to know which coils to buy for my small 22mm tank and my big baby tank 24.5mm tanks. The M2 was decent, but is the Q2 worth it for my 22mm baby tank or should i just stick with the M2. Or is there another option that's better for the smaller tank? maybe an X4?, and if so why or why not? should I buy the T6 for my big baby 24.5mm tank or something else.

Lastly, what is the best way to prime? Apply juice to all the cotton around the coil and also apply it to the top of the coil ? should the juice be applied heavily to the top of the coil. I assume let it set a while and soak in efore burning, and maybe burn at a low tempaturel

I have never used the M2 so I do not know how those vape. When I was using the Big Baby or Baby, I was always using the Q2 .4ohm coils and they lasted me about a week or 2. About 10 tanks worth. I suggest you try a Q2 and see how much you like it.

How I primed a new coil. I would install the coil, then I would drip juice on all the wick slots, then a drop or 2 into the coil itself. The Q2 had a big hole in the middle of the coil, so I would drip in in there at an angle to saturate the coil and cotton. Then I would install the tank itself and fill the tank. I would then let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Then I would close off the bottom air holes, and take a couple of pulls without firing the mod. This will draw some more juice into the coils. Open the air holes to your desired setting, then take a hit.

You've got a lot of crossover going on with several options of mixing and matching. So will just give what I tend to do based on information I have garnered.

The M2 coils were designed to work best at 3.7 volts for the stick V8, an power source with no adjustment. While I mostly confine my use of those coils to the Stick V8, I was fine with running it on a regulated mod around 60 watts which showed voltage below 3.7 volts. Having several tanks in rotation, I am fine with only using the M2 coils in that one tank on the stick. But I am strongly considering going away from the M2 coils and storing the stick for now. ETA: I have never found the need to even try one of the other coils on the stick, so don't know about that.

I have settled in with the V8Baby T8 coils for my other Baby/Big Baby tanks, but I stay way below the upper recommended wattage with airflow wide open. But that is the beauty of these and many other tanks. With all the adjustments, we can each dial in what we like best. Play around with the different coils at different wattages and airflow settings to find what you like. Unless you are super sensitive, I'm guessing you can get any of the coils to give you a satisfying vape.

Good luck and enjoy playing with all the options. :vapor:
