Bebop

you are right in the ballpark at 4.05 Volts You can bump it up if you like. try anything you like. I would guess upwards of 80 - 90 watts.

Forget the wattage. it's not important. whatever coil you put in, set the voltage at about 3.7 V. then vape it and adjust up from there. somewhere in there you will find a sweet spot. Make a note of the wattage (watts are a product of voltage accross the resistance (ohm)) whenever you use a different ohm coil, do the same thing. If your using the same coil, vape the wattage you found works. the higher the voltage (or wattage - same difference) the more you will shorten coil life. So if you want longer life, be conservative in your power settings. A brand new coil will take higher power for a while. But you are likely to burn it out faster. there is always a trade off. I usually vape any coil I make at 3.9 - 4.2 volts and let the wattage fall where it may. (I get long coil life - 2 to 4 weeks). You can't adjust voltage and wattage separately. they are tied together. When you "raise the wattage" you are really just increasing the voltage across the coil. Raise the voltage and the watts goes up. lower the voltage and the watts go down. Its fine to remember the wattage and use that number to set your mod as manufacturers seem to realize that people focus in the wattage. But it's really the voltage you are changing. It's like a car. The speedometer doesnt make the car go. You dont "raise the speedometer", (wattage), you give it more gas (voltage).

Is the center pin, down in the hole, on your mod spring loaded? or is it adjustable? the center pin on your tank is not reaching the center pin on your mod. some things to check: 1. if the center pin on your mod is adjustable, you need to raise it. 2. If it's spring loaded, it may be stuck down. use a small screw driver, needle or similar to pop it back up. sometimes on new mods the spring loaded center pin is a little rough. work it a few times to make sure its fully extended. Keep it clean and juice free so it doesnt get stuck down. 3. On your tank, when you screw the coil in, it needs to be in all the way. it pushes on the center pin of your tank and has to be all the way screwed in, or, you need to slightly pull out the center pin on the bottom of your tank. hope that helps

I've been using the hg2 for a long while and they are great. I dont go Low Low ohm either but love the 3000 mah.

it's normal for it to change a little bit, it usually goes a little higher with use but that is a pretty big change. build your new coils and try again

I would add 2 loops each coil and start there but it wont make much difference if your nic is too high. you should be using a coil calculator for your builds.

you're very welcome. let me know how it works out.

you are vaping VERY LOW ohms, which means lots of heat. you should be vaping low nicotine at that power, like 3 mg too high of nicotine gives a burning sharp flavor at that high heat. you could build higher ohm coils (more wraps or loops as you call them) or, turn you mod way down and work up. Also, some flavors are extra sharp at high wattage.

you dont need to fire while pinching. you could be stressing the wire while it's really hot, too which could cause a break.

also, turn your mod down when you do this like 40 watts maybe , something like that. you're frying the wire, too much power and too long on the button

yeah you dont need to do that. burst it a couple of times then off the button pinch your wires then repeat. should only take one or two times

you should be pulsing it in micro second bursts, not holding it down at all. do you know what I mean by that?

okay. got it. when you test it, are you pulsing it or holding it down constant?

yeah the bottom one is ohms. .15 ohms so you are testing it before cotton and firing it and that's when it breaks? where does it break? and how long are you testing it? that is very low ohms and it wont tolerate much dry firing....

and, does it always break in the same location and what is that location?

okay great. and what ohm resistance does your mod read when you load it?

can you post a picture of your deck with the build. also a photo of your wire spool with the label

I've seen this reaction in some people. Most likely it is because she is too tentative in taking a puff. because she starts coughing, she gets more tentative. and the cycle just continues. does she pull the vapor in her mouth and then inhale like you would a cigarette? or does she pull it directly in to the lung?

what size wire? what material is it made of? what tank are you using?

LIL - Smok says blink 4 times means that you have a short at battery and atomizer. you need to replace the atomizer (coil) (which probably means the whole mouthpiece/tank) most likely, Or try taking it apart and cleaning it and looking for any obvious reasons for an electrical short

well well. it's a regular party this week. Hi Vapemama. glad to hear from everybody, Rich and cany. walt, I got asked to do an album this year too and I'm pretty excited about that. I'm in the middle of learning 12 original tunes for this guy and I'll be contributing a lot of guitar work on it. It's basically a blues/rock project so it's just gonna be pure fun, no pressure. Earthling, I've had good luck with HG2's. 'course not being a super high power vapor helps. I was checking out the whole pod system arena a whike back but I never got further than one unit whi h now sits unused. I just cant get back in to the whole gear thing. Over the last couple of years our vape budget has dropped to next to nothing and I like it that way.

Hey Earthling. good to hear from you. hope your recovery is smooth and complete. Sorry to hear about that. I'm a rare poster these days myself. The wife and I have settled in to a 3mg groove. we have a stockpile of unopened gear, cotton and coil wire and are set for years to come. I've been making my own juice now for the better part of a couple of years and so life is good. I've kind of gotten put of the "mod game" so I'm quickly falling behind but that's ok with me. We still support vaping and promote it whenever. occasionally I drop in here to embarrass myself with my outdated knowledge, lol and keep up with old friends. It's been pretty quiet lately but still in the game. Best wishes from sunny California.

If you took apart the actual atomizer, (coil) then it's the insulating ring of the coil. If you just took apart the tank then it's probably the the insulator between the glass and the base. it's hard to tell what size it is from your picture with no perspective. the coil insulator is small. the glass insulator is large.

All I can say is, not all juices are created equal. Even though the mix is the same, there could be other factors with the flavor that are changing the way it behaves. Tough to say.

Happy New Year all!
