Hey everyone! I'm new here because I recently just bought my first box mod and I'm having some trouble with it. So I got the Smok R80 TC just the other day (the bundle kit) from my local vendor and I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!! There's a problem though that's really bumming me out... the damn coils!! I used the first coil that was pre-installed into my vape. It was a Micro CLP2 0.3 ohm coil. By my mistake, and out of my ignorance for box vapes, (not to mention my overwhelming excitement) I loaded the atomizer up with juice and starting firing away. IT WAS AWESOME AS CRAP!! I started off around 40 watts, switched around to 50, 60, and back down to 30. The coil lasted a little less than a day before I started tasting this nasty burnt taste. (I put that coil back into my vape this morning, and I was only able to take about 2 or 3 good hits before the burnt taste came back, so I'm assuming I ruined it beyond repair.) So after I figured I'd burnt out the coil somehow, I switched to the backup coil they gave me, a Micro STC2 0.25 ohm. I was nervous about it burning out...and within an hour, my worries had come true...it did! And even quicker than the last coil! I usually start off on 40 watts...which is on the low side for these kinds of coils, or at least that's what they say. I don't "choo-choo train hit it", just straight inhales, so I don't think the way I'm hitting it is the problem. I do tend to chain vape sometimes, so maybe I just used it too much? I find that hard to believe because the drags I take aren't very long and I usually take 5-10 hits max in a row before setting it down. I know I'm a newbie when it comes to these kinds of vapes, as I've been smoking the eGo One vape pen for a while and I figured I needed a serious upgrade. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The wattage range for the 0.3 and 0.25 coils say 30-60, and now when I try to vape with them I can only use about 17 watts and I STILL get the burnt taste...I guess I'll have to pitch them.... I do vape with high VG a good bit of the time, but my eGo One was able to withstand all of it...it makes me sad to think that's what I'll have to resort back to! :/ I also heard letting them "pre-juice" before I start vaping? Can somebody explain that process to me? Or as a matter of fact, can someone explain ANY other kinds of procedures I can do to prevent my coils from burning out so quickly? I will be really bummed if I just wasted a good chunk of my money on this...and I'll also be super bummed if I'm forced to vape on less than 30 wattage...I'll get better clouds and flavor on my eGo One. So yeah, don't laugh, I know I'm new to this stuff. I don't know if it's me doing something wrong, faulty coils, the atomizer, or the tank itself...but I'm going to take a wild guess that it was me. If someone can give me some advice for the next time I'm able to purchase some new coils, that would be fantastic. Thank you guys for your help!

I have bad my mvp 3.0 pro for about 3 months I bought it from myvaporstore.com and for the most part it worked okay, the first time I smoked out of it over 30w it would burn, and then it devolped this weird bown line on the screen, didn't think much of it cause the screen still worked, and I got a new automiser and that fixed the problem. I have recently ran into this problem tho whare my vape will not charge, I have pluged it into multiple outlets and it won't work unless it is in a certain possision, and it won't get above 20% charge. Anyone else haveing this problem? Or does anyone know how I could fix this without haveing to purchase a new unit please let me know.

So I dropped my snow wolf like 5" off my couch onto the hardwood and it turned off. I just thought the batteries got knocked loose, and they did, but the thing is they don't sit snug any more. The slightest tap turns the mod off. Some times even just tilting it turns it off. I tried bending the connectors to hold it in place, but it still randomly turns off. Also sometimes it's not getting hot enough so I reset it, then it seems to actually get way hotter than its suppose to. Anyone else having these problems?
