Walt

Why?

Yep. Take a car for instance. Just because your speedometer says it will do 193 kmph (120 mph), doesn't mean that you need to go that fast to go to the corner store. From everything you've posted so far, I'm guessing that you already burned the wick in that coil you're using now so it's ruined. I would replace with a new coil, lower the power and, once it sits for a bit so the wick can get saturated, try turning up the power 2 - 4 watts at a time.

As @Miltgotit5 noted, it sounds like the coil does not have enough liquid in it.  It's called a "dry hit".  The coil is heating without liquid present.  It may be possible that you are vaping with too much power also.  After priming your coil it is recommended that you start at a low power setting, even as low as 20 Watts.  Vape and then increase the power a couple of watts.  Keep doing this until the flavor and vapor production peak.  After the peak the flavor will start muting and eventually you will get a dry hit.  Also as previously stated even after finding the best power setting some coils will take a little time to soak up liquid between vapes.  Each tank and coil are different.  There is also a possibility that you may have a bad coil.  
Sorry about not having a simple definitive answer but that is the nature of the beast.  

Lol no cause for alarm- I’m the dirtdog. Just didn’t want to give you all the credit. I give all my juices kinda inappropriate names like smurf ****, blue balls etc. was thinking of starting a line called Juice Knuckle and names all flavours something ****** up.

Don’t worry u can still be a dirt Dog too if you want lol. Dirt Dog for liiiiife!!

Hmmmmm   Dirt Dog Walt Apple Pie......  Oh my.   That's a new one!

That's not a tax.  It's an extortion fee.  Gooberment is out of control.  Accomplishes nothing and demands everything.  Nothing but leaches.  Time to sprinkle some salt.  

Here's the last iteration I have of it:
Apple Pie (TPA)  9.5%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream  (TPA)  2%
Whipped Cream  (TPA)  2%
Apple  (TPA)  2%
Sweetener  (TPA)  .5%  
@mattythornton   may have even tweaked it more.  You know, things evolve.  

Check this little bugger out!  It's about the size of a lipstick tube.  20700 hybrid mech pipe bomb.  Great for collecting finger prints. 
 

Starting a new mod company.  Calling it Last Vape.
 

February now! We moved it up. We are not having a big to do, I just had a hysterectomy, day before yesterday, and we are just having a few family members. But still over the moon!!

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.

Welcome back!  I'd guess just about everything, lol.  Layers upon layers of sophistication along with every gimmick people could think of.  Flashing lights, touch screens, vibrators, clocks.  I heard one unconfirmed tale of an mp3 player.  But the basics are the same.  Still dangle some cotton in juice.  Push a bunch of electrons through a wire to heat up the juice.  Inhale the vapor!  Have fun getting re-introduced.  You may be surprised at the options.  

Welcome to Vapor Talk!  Glad to hear your journey into vaping is going well!

I'm really diggin 50/50 juice in tuttle puffers lately.  This just came in from China at a buck a hit.  I figure if someone else needs one I've got them covered.

Best lookin Alien on this planet! 

Just got the Coilart Mage mech kit. Jesus christ the flavor that comes off RDA's is amazing... i just have a basic 24 kanthal 8 wrap that came out at .39
Was going to go lower but 5 wrap 24g kanthal has way too little surface area.... im very happy with the purchase. This is a great mech kit for starters
I was going to put a picture in but the lowest i got was 1.7MB in file size....so..
 
 

Hello Krix
There is no problem using different coiling wire. Kanthal is not the way to go.
SS and nicrome have the least resistance.
We will need some information to help. What mod are you using at what wattage?what kind of build do you use? Ohms size number of wraps and gauge and type of wire. All these things make a difference.
A lower ohm build will ramp up quicker and will put a larger load on the battery,shorter battery life. I like to stay around .2 +-.05 fussed Clapton's.
There more to know then just twisting wire. Ask away.

Hey, Welcome!  
Thanks for taking the time to write that out.  Great info!  Smok sold a lot of beasts, baby, big, and monster, and there are always posts asking about issues surrounding them.  It is great to see this post with a scenario and especially a resolve!  Reviewers are obviously always racing to get the new product on screen and then the products are never mentioned again.  Information like this are invaluable to owners of devices.  Very well defined and easily understood write up.  Bravo!  
Keep commin back!!! 

Reading Vapemama Post I want to share.
Here what I got.
Vanilla bean ice cream 3%
Salted caramel (FA) 1.5%
Vanilla whipped cream 2%
Wild cherry (FW) .75%
Pretzel (ooo)4%
Super sweet.5%
The issues I have are I can't get the pretzel to stand out more and the cherry is a bit much. I need more vanilla too.
I believe I need to take out the vanilla whipped cream and replace it with straight whipped cream and a vanilla flavor like simple vanilla (CAP).
 
 

Thank you!  I will certainly be back.  I looked at a LOT of forums trying to find info...kinda crazy how little information is available around these mods.  Quite a lot of trolls out there, unfortunately.  Seems to be a pretty good group in this chat, though. 

I went a little crazy on August 8. I purchased at least 500' of most even gauges of kanthal SS nicrome. I have played with a lot of coils. I find a fused spaced Clapton or tiger wire works. Like Walt I have micro coils to 3.5 monster. I love the challenge of building staggered fused Clapton's. I follow some of the great builders like Aries jj ohm Boy Josh. Squido and yetisuncle.
It don't get old.
And love steam-engine.org

Moved this over to the Help! It Broke section.   

I use a counter top cleaner and newspaper. I will use the squeegee at the gas station to to the side window (inside) and wet a paper towel and take a few dry ones and do the inside of the windshield. My stepdaughter ******* about it.
