Looks like @Bebop is doing a great job of getting you through this. Just as a couple of side notes: 1. Smok coils often are flaky. We get a lot of problems here with them. 2. Sometimes a mod will not read a new coil. One thing you can try is to fire the mod with no coil a few times and see if it indicates no atomizer. This may help it read a new coil when you put it on. 35 Watts into a .4 Ohm coil causes the mod to put out about 3.74 Volts. If the mod doesn't read the new coil and puts that 3.74 volts into a .15 ohm coil it will be developing about 93 Watts.

You mentioned earlier "3 dry draws" which in my opinion does next to nothing to help prime a coil. You CAN close off the airflow and do a couple little draws which essentially pulls a little juice in to the coil but I would be gentle with that because you could flood the coil if too much. pulling air over a dry coil does next to nothing. hope that helps

ok yes that may have contributed to it but not sure how. always safest to check your wattage when installing a new coil. Tip: On a new coil or one I haven't tried before I set my voltage, not the wattage. (wattage will adjust automatically). I set voltage to 3.9, to start, up to 4.2. Then I see how it vapes and adjust up or down accordingly to performance. I dont know if your device displays wattage and voltage at the same time (most do). Also, that T8 is a large coil (8 coils actually each with their own cotton) so I would make triple sure it is well primed. that means letting it soak for a couple minutes minimum no matter what else you do to prime it.

the T8 and the Q2 are very different coils. the Q2 is a .4 ohm coil which should run very nicely at 50 watts or so. The T8 is a .15 ohm coil which should take way higher watts around 60 - 80w easily. Are you verifying your wattage change when you switch the coil to the T8? The T8 would barely heat up at 35w. It's a mystery that it would burn on one hit at 35w. doesn't make sense. Did you verify your smok 225 is in wattage mode and not TC (temperature Control) mode? I don't know what else to tell you at this point. It's a mystery. you may need some hands on help because it doesnt make sense.
