What settings

[SimonQ]

Hi all, now before you all laugh i am new to this, I have bought new atomizers for my aspire Triton and on the side it says 25-30amp is this the setting i should use on my cool fire 4 as when i get near the end of the e-juice in the glass it goes a lot darker as though burnt. Hope i am not making a fool of myself but its the simple things i get wrong I am using 80vg 20pg juice is this correct or should i go to 50/50

My juice does that sometimes, too. As long as the flavor is still good and doesn't taste burnt, I keep vaping.

hi Simon. It wouldn't say amp, it should say watt...

The rule of thumb for ANY vape device you will ever own is the same. Start low power take a hit and bump the power up. If it starts to taste funny, gets too hot, or tastes burnt, back the power down.

The 25 to 30 is the recommended power in watts to use with the coil. It is a sort of guideline but not carved in stone. I would suggest starting at 20 watts and work your way up.

80/20 juice is high vg and very popular with sub ohm vape. Pg can add throat hit so most people use the higher vg in sub ohm and high power to give a smoother vape. if you aren't having any wick issues with the higher vg (VG is thicker than PG and therefore wicks slower) then use what you have. If you desire more throat hit then you go to a higher PG (up to 50/50) juice.

PG is the flavor carrier. It's about balance between throat hit, clouds, & taste.
A new vapor should start at 50/50 & adjust to preference..

The discoloration of the tank juice you are seeing comes from having a crud build-up on the coil wire and wick. It is not dangerous or harmful. What is actually happening is the sweetener in the juice is being caramelized at the coil from the heat. If it annoys you, change the coil and it will go away... until the next time. If the flavor and vapor production are still good on that coil, no harm is done in ignoring it. Personally, I view that as time to change wicks and burn my coils clean. I, however, build my coils, and I can reuse the coil wire and replace a wick for a penny or two. Buying prefab coils is more expensive. For me, I just vape the tank empty, disassemble it, pull out the old wicks and discard, then put the tank base back on the mod and fire the coils until the wires glow cherry red again and all the gunk burns off. Then I scrape the coil clean with my cotton hook to get the brunt carp (that's a fish) off; take the whole tank in pieces and wash it in hot, soapy water; let it dry; re-wick with a new piece of rayon; reassemble, fill and vape.

I am not certain-- I don't use prefab coils-- but it is probably possible for you to do something similar with your coils; pull the wick, burn it clean, wash it, re-wick and reuse. Many of the prefabs can be done like that and somebody built it from scratch somehow. I'm sure somebody will be along sooner or later who's tried it with Triton coils who can tell you how, or of it's worth the trouble.

Thanks very much for the info guys i will try the 50/50 mix at 20 watts and go from there.

very informative share! I don't clean my tanks so carefully every time, but from now I will, kinda joy of doing this!
