    Walt reacted to Tam in Finding My Way   
    Welcome to Vapor Talk!   
    You've gotten a lot of very good advice from @Walt. I'll add a few things too, even though I'm not familiar with your mod.
    First, we call it 'juice' or 'eliquid', there isn't (or shouldn't be) any oil in the liquid you use to vape. If there is, I would dispose of it and get liquid that has VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (propylene glycol), food grade flavoring, and nicotine (as Walt said, either regular nic or salt nic). Sometimes there's also food coloring but I tend to not go that route, I don't want anything more in my liquid than minimally possible.
    That said, since you're just starting out, I wouldn't buy any quantities of one flavor of e-liquid right now. The reason behind that train of thought is that you are just now quitting smoking. Your body is going through a lot of changes detoxifying from all the carcinogens that cigarettes contain. Your taste buds are changing too. What tastes good to you today in e-liquid form may not be as good to you tomorrow. When I first started, I went through flavors until I had well over 40 (that's probably on the low side as I went a little overboard experimenting) and switched around as my mood took me.
    If you're switching flavors, you'll want to have a different tank and coil to keep it in. Using the same coil for different flavors may wind up giving you a happy accident of a good flavor or it could be a disgusting mistake. There is a wick inside the coil that soaks up e-liquid. This wick will retain traces of the old flavor so you really want to have a different tank - it's easier this way to just change out tanks.
    Repeating Walt again, start with a low wattage level, you don't have to use what's advised, just start at something low and vape. If that's not doing it for you by giving you the flavor and vapor you want, turn it up just a few notches and vape. Repeat until you get a slight burnt taste. Back it down a bit. That's how you find your "sweet spot." As your coil ages, you may need the turn it up a bit. When you use your coil to heat up the e-liquid, the e-liquid will leave some gunk behind. The more build up you get, the more resistance it creates. The more resistance your coil has, the more power you'll need to heat the e-liquid to get the desired results. The darker, sweeter e-liquids will gunk up your coils faster.
    Vaping will dehydrate you so start drinking more water. Don't increase your liquid intake by drinking soda, coffee, tea, juice... whatever. Just plain water. You'll thank me later. 
    Sorry for the long post, but I hope some of this will help. Good luck, and ask lots of questions. We've all been there, done that, and want to help new vapers get off cigarettes.

    That all makes sense, especially the "world around us going nuts" part.  I find myself popping it into my shirt pocket when I leave the house.  The more I use it, the more I like it.  I may bond with it yet.

    Sadly, the fear mongers will fail to read any of these conclusive studies and continue to spread misinformation. Still, it's nice to see that more studies are being performed and the same results are coming out. Maybe some day the mainstream news will pick up on it. One can dream...
    Thanks, Walt, for putting up this post.

    Here is one of the best descriptions I could find on the replacement coils:
     
    SMOK TFV8 Turbo Engine Coils Features:
    Patented Turbo Engines Coil Structure V8-T10 Deca/Decuple Coil
    Patented Deca/Decuple Coil Design Kanthal Clapton Coil Material Turbo: 10T 0.12ohm rated for 50~300W, recommended 130~190W V8-T8 Octuple Coil
    Patented Octuple Coil Design Turbo: 6.6T 0.15ohm rated for 50~260W, recommended 120~180W V8-T6 Sextuple Coil
    Patented Sextuple Coil Design Turbo: 6.0T 0.2ohm rated for 50~240W, recommended 110~150W V8-Q4 Quadruple Coil
    Patented Quadruple Coil Design Turbo: 5.0T 0.15ohm rated for 50~180W, recommended 90~150W V8-X4 Quadruple Coil
    Double-Barrel Pistol Design CF Mate (Cloud & Flavor Balance Core) Turbo: 4.0T-X 0.15ohm rated 60~150W, recommended 80~120W V8 RBA Head
    18mm Build Deck Two-Post, Dual Terminal Design Turbo: 4.0T-X 0.28ohm Fused Clapton Dual Coil rated for 50~140W V8 RBA-16 Head
    18mm Build Deck Two-Post, Clamp-Style Mechanism Turbo: 5.0T-X 0.16ohm Fused Clapton Octuplet Coil rated for 40~100W They make a ton of these things and other companies also make coils that are compatible.  Higher resistances will give you better battery life but possibly less vapor production.  Flavor is hit and miss and the best way to know is try a few.  
     
    Good luck!!

    geez. these all sound good.  I used to love me some Space Jam.
    ....but I haven't vaped anything but my own mad scientist concoctions for going 2 years now, I think.  And now I'm hooked on a Coffee Cheesecake spawned from my own demented mind -  Its mainly cheesecake with caramel cappuccino as a secondary flavor and a drizzle of double chocolate with just a touch of sweetener.  I'm hooked ....

    Mad scientist concoctions are the best. I make a cherry cheesecake, pretty good stuff. A few weeks ago I got some new flavors that I haven't tried yet, I have been using TFA caramel, but read a lot of good things on the net about salted caramel by FW, also got some Madagascar vanilla, and some sweetener. Going to have to try them soon.

    On the pod systems I've tried lately, once the juice goes into the battery part, the rest is just toast. Time to throw it out and start with a new battery unit.

    The ones I had did have air holes in the very bottom, but I guess different brands have different designs. I tried cleaning the ones I had with rubbing alcohol, and it did help for awhile, but went bad again. About the only thing you can do is get a different setup that uses a fire button instead of depending on air flow to fire it. Don't know about the one you have, but mine had a hole through the middle of the contact pin for the air to flow, that's how juice got into the electronics.
