I routinely run 1.8 ohm coils, which is a higher resistance than a 1.2 ohm coil. Most of the time I get the best performance right around 8.0 watts (anything between 7.8 and 8.4 watts max). 30 - 100 watts on a 1.2 ohm coil? Yeah, the seller just wants to make money off you by recommending ridiculously high wattages to burn up your coils faster.

Congratulations, @Walt, on a very productive and positive year! I'm so happy to see this post, but I never doubted that you'd reach it. Happy New Year and here's to the next year being just as easy!

Congrats and good luck!

Thanks for letting us know that you got the issue solved.

And... to help you out with this I've merged the two posts together. Please do not start a new post on the same topic, wait for someone else to try to answer your question here.

So you go back to the same post and write a comment that your question wasn't resolved. Someone else may come by to give you a different answer. As you can see above, a different member came by and asked some questions that were already asked and answered in your first post. Instead of having answers all over the place in several different posts and having the same questions asked over and over, it's best to keep it all in one post so you can keep going forward instead of in circles.

You only need to post once, please do not keep posting the same question only worded differently (this would be considered "spamming").

@Walt and I were trying to answer the same question last night with this same member. See the link for more information on what's been recommended and other specifics:

The "clouds" you're wanting to create all depends on the tank you're using, the resistance in the coil that's in the tank, and the PG/VG ratio in the eliquid. Okay, here's an example. I'm currently using an Aspire Triton II with a 1.8 ohm coil. My eliquid is 40 PG/60 VG. While I've been typing to you, I've also been chain vaping and... I've pretty much fogged up my office. Oh, and how much wattage am I at? My mod reads 8 watts. Not 80 watts, but 8 watts.

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.

How many watts are you at now?

Do you have your airflow wide open? If it's too restricted, that could also be problematic.

Are you drinking enough water? Vaping dehydrates you so you want to increase your liquid intake. Water is the best instead of soda, coffee, tea, juice or whatever.

@Walt gives good, sound advice. Do you know the PG/VG ratio of the eliquid you're using? The liquid may be too thick for your wick to absorb quickly. No one should have to wait several minutes between hits, if that were true of all mods and tanks, no one would continue vaping. If you have a very high VG content in your eliquid, you could add a couple of drops of distilled water directly into the tank to mix with your eliquid. This should thin it out a bit. Also, like Walt said, I would lower the power (watts) and dry vaping it again. If it's not doing it for you, turn it up just a little and vape. Keep doing this until you get a hint of a burning taste (dry hit), then back it down just a few. That should be the sweet spot for that juice and coil combination. Each new coil and flavor has to be adjusted as each flavor of eliquid has its own heat preference. Fruit juices usually prefer a lower heat while bakery flavors usually like it a little hotter.

Are you still having issues with this, @Walt?

What type of tank are you using? Did you change the PG/VG ratio in your juice? Higher VG, sweet and dark juices are known to be what we call "coil killers." And then again, there have been some bad batches of coils periodically.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with your mod, but here's a video that might help out. Also, go onto youtube and put Vaporfi Pro 3 into the search function, there are plenty of other vids to choose from. Hopefully, one of them will have the information you're looking for.

Do you know someone in the US who can get it and send it to you?

Nice to see you back, @Bebop, and glad to hear you're doing well. Happy holidays!

The first link will take you to an online vendor that sells the coils for your tank. The second link takes you to a review that was written that addresses the question that you asked.

If you google Smok Stick V8 coils it turns up a LOT of places to buy. One that I use on a fairly regular basis is Vapor DNA https://www.vapordna.com/SMOK-Stick-V8-Baby-M2-Replacement-Coil-p/stv8m2.htm Here is a link to a review that sort of addresses the different coils. http://www.ecigclick.co.uk/the-smok-stick-v8-kit-reviewed/ Hope some of this helps.

Moved this over to the Help! It Broke section.

I use my vent and keep the fan on all the time. Mostly, it's on low to medium-low and one is always pointed at my slightly open window to help the vapor find its way out. Just a left over habit from when I smoked in the car.

I just use regular Windex and Bounty paper towels or news paper... which reminds me... I should clean my windshield tomorrow.
