Yeah, most of the info I've found regards those who want to build their own sub-ohm coils, and I'm definitely not there yet lol. But I'm thinking that if you've got a setup with more power than mine (mine is a 75w) albeit on a higher resistance coil, maybe I could be torching wick? I just tried dropping it down similar to yours at 450F at 11.8w, clouds seem a little thinner and cooler, but that's probably due to differences in coils, right? What would you recommend for a .20 nickel coil, and also, what do you think of stainless coils? I don't have one to try, but I do have a TC setting for it.

Aww, I think you're giving me too much credit - I haven't rebuilt it myself yet lol. But assuming I'm reading things right, Joyetech says you can, so I'm gonna hold onto it for now. Perhaps try a couple of the other coils I got with it first (still have a Ti .4 and a CL 1.0 I haven't tried yet), freshen up my math skills, and then maybe I'll try my hand at building my own coil. Maybe... :P What's your experience with sub-ohming? Any recommendations on settings? I've been looking around for power charts and most are for 1.0 resistance and up.

My first day with it I used the included .5 rba kanthal coil on power mode and really liked the results, but I went through a good bit of battery and juice lol. So for the last couple of days I've been playing around with the .2 nickel coil on TC mode, and to be honest I'm not sure what to make of it, most likely because I'm not entirely sure if I have it on the right settings. I know the lower the resistance, the more power it can handle, but I don't want to take it too high for fear of exploding my face, so I've been keeping it between 450-550 degrees F at 20-35 watts, and I'm not getting any dry hits or burning/crackling, so I guess it's okay? My main beef with TC mode is that my resistance is dropping even though it's locked. It's sitting at .18 right now, and sometimes if I remove the atomizer, reattach and choose "new atomizer" and re-lock, it'll reset back up to .20, but right now it doesn't feel like cooperating. But it's still hitting fine as far as I can tell, so who knows? >.<

Thanks!! It feels good to be part of a community.

Congrats on quitting! I'm quitting myself, as well. Mark Twain once said something along the lines of: "Quitting smoking is easy. I should know, I've done it a thousand times." If only he had a vape pen, lol! :P

Thank you!! I've been doing my homework and watching videos, so I don't think I'm completely helpless lol, but it would be helpful and nice to be able to talk to people.

Hola everyone! I've been vaping for about a month now, and after having upgraded to my first "big-girl kit", I thought it'd be a good idea to join a forum and learn a bit more of the ins and outs of this thing. Like many others, vaping for me is an alternative to smoking. I started in high school and have been smoking on and off for around ten years now. I've tried quitting many times, and at one point I managed to go four years until falling hard off the wagon. I tried a disposable e-cig thinking it would help, but that actually made it worse; the crappy flavor, the coughing, and that ridiculous blue light mocking me and my suffering with every puff only made me want a real cigarette even more. Then for Christmas, my fiancé surprised me with a vape pen. It was neat enough to get me interested in the idea of vaping, and with it I managed to cut down from a pack a day to a pack a week. But the flavor and battery were sub-par, so I splurged and got myself an eVic-VTC Tron S and I love it. I've only had it a few days, so I'm still tinkering around, but it's lots of fun! Plus, I haven't had or wanted a smoke since I bought it, so I guess that's a good sign! Only downside to vaping - I can finally, actually smell my car... EW. Anyway, that's my story! Looking forward to learning lots and chasing clouds! - Peaches -
