    Squid got a reaction from Walt in Eleaf ikonn 220 with Ello Sub-Ohm tank   
    For setting up in wattage mode, it's pretty much the same for all mods.
    For coils under 1 ohm, I start around 10watts and slowly increase until I get a vape I like. You'll get a burnt taste if you go too high, back down half a watt or so and you have the sweet spot for that juice. As an example I run .5ohm coils around 25 watts. Sometimes a little higher sometimes a little lower, depending on the juice. Then there are a few juices I get on occasion that I will run as high as 45 watts.
    There is no magic setting that a specific mod will run at, just a ball park.

    I use ArmorAll window cleaner. Takes a bit of elbow grease and a couple doses at one time, but it works for me. Back window of my truck is tinted anyway, I don't bother with it.

    To my knowledge, all Smok coils are kanthal, so you should be running in wattage mode. As far as the blinking lights, I am no help, sorry.

    Squid got a reaction from Walt in Ohms law related question   
    My guess on the way they come up with the recommended range is a dart board........ I personally have very rarely if ever found the recommended range to work for me. For example, I run my baby beast with the .4ohm coil around 30-35 watts depending on the juice. 40 is too high for me.

    Squid got a reaction from Tam in Why do i have to prime constantly?   
    Priming generally refers to setting up a fresh coil. Putting a few drops on the cotton of the coil before installing it in the tank, or letting a fresh coil sit for a time in a full tank of juice. A combination of the 2 methods can be used as well. Never heard of "priming a coil" repeatedly. Can you elaborate on the process you are using?

    Might I suggest changing the name of this section from "Feedback, Help & Requests" to "Site Feedback, Help & Requests"?  Seems that from time to time there is a bit of confusion and quite a few "Help it Broke" topics get posted here......

    One of the 2 cells could be weak. LiPo cells act funny when they get old sometimes. I have a couple batteries for my RC cars that do that too. I took one apart and one cell was dead, the other was fine. No fix for it that I know of.

    Squid got a reaction from Tam in iStick Power Nano   
    My wife still loves the little unit, but  it seems to be aging fast.  The fire button has begun to not work intermittently, and the battery seems to be loosing it's staying power. She has to charge mid-day now so it does not die while watching TV before bed. It used to last all day. So what does a guy do???? Just got a new one in the mail from the VT Store today......

    Squid got a reaction from glamourgirlglock in Clear juices a little more harsh?   
    Sounds like your clear juices are a lower vg, like 50/50 and the tinted juices are 30pg/70vg. Juices with higher pg are a bit harsher.

    Squid reacted to Earthling789 in Colored Vape   
    "Smoke" can be colored because it is created by the act of something (a chemical additive) "burning"
    Vapor cannot be colored.  The vapor (even if it could be colored) on the draw into your mouth/lungs would be absorbed by the body, and any coloring would likely be very bad for you to inhale.
    If any juice manufacturer is attempting to create juices that provide a "colorful exhale", I would NEVER attempt to try it!

    I have noticed this to be very true. I have also noticed that the larger the tank, the sooner letting it sit below say half full will cause it to start leaking. My Subtank Plus will start leaking if I let it sit overnight half full, where as the subtank mini will sit for a full day or longer before any issue arises. I remove my tanks and sit them upside down on the drip tip at night or when I change tanks.

    Squid got a reaction from olysodaisy in iStick Power Nano   
    Picked up an iStick Power Nano kit from the VT store a week or so ago for my wife, as she thinks even the iStick 40 is too big for her hands. The Nano is about as big around, and about 75% as tall. Only the top 1/3 of the tank and drip tip make it taller than the bare iStick 40, it's pretty compact.
    I filled it with my favorite 70vg/30pg juice (gotta try it before I turn it over to the missus), and used the factory installed .75 ohm coil.  I started out at 10 watts and over several tanks settled in at 14 watts. Good flavor and a decent cloud, but not enough to obscure the TV while chain vaping it. No dry hits, the juice holes in the coil are quite large. The airflow is in my opinion a bit on the restrictive side for DL even wide open, but it is possible. Think somewhere between the full open and mid setting of the subtank mini.
    I haven't messed with any of the different settings, just used it in watt mode. The battery lasts through 3 tanks give or take with the .75 ohm coil at 14 watts. I haven't tried the .3 ohm coil that comes in the package sealed in it's own blister pack, and probably won't for a while, the missus has discovered the Nano and refuses to give it back.
    Overall it's a good little unit. In wattage mode it just plain works and so far has no little quirks. Also as far as I can see it works exactly like the full size 80 watt iPower.
