Need so help new to vaping and smelling!!

[Cammac1989]

Ok so to start let me say i am recently able to smell and taste again, i started vaping to quit smoking and for the most part it has worked but now that i can smell and taste again i have realized i have been burning out the atomizer head, and it tastes horrid!!! I'm using the Joyetech eVic VT, i asked around and they told me to drip some juice in to the head first I've done that and its still burning the cotton. its making me wanna stop vapping some one let me know what I'm doing wrong and maybe tell me how to actually use this eVic Vt

Thank you
chris

What setting is it on?
Which coil do you have set in?
How much watts are you firing it at?

 

[Cammac1989]

Right now it is onTemp NI
The coil has Black O rings on it
Its Firing at 40w

 

[Cammac1989]

Well now it won't switch into Ni or TI Its staying in Power mode??

once a coil has been burnt... you wo;; never get rid of the taste. so you need a new coil
on any coil, regardless of what it is, it needs "primed" before you fire it the first time.
SO you must get the cotton/wick wet with juice. sometimes a few drop is enough, but you should probably be using more if your using the atomizer that comes pre packaged with an evic

you can only get into NI and Ti mode if your using NI or Ti coils
standard coils for most atomizers use kanthal wire

Ok ive ordered the new coils so hopfully that will fix the problem, its just a new world being able to smell and taste again I've been vapping with burnt coils for a while without knowing i guess. but thanks for all the info one last ? whats the difference between the Ni and Ti settings I've tried reading about it, but nothing makes sense to me?

Cammac I feel your pain. Burnt up two sets of coils on my Kanger subox mini before taking it to my shop to figure out you had to drip juice inside first LOL

If u buy kanthal coil stay at the minimum settings, and if u buy nickel coils or titanium coils and u have a temp control device run it in temp control from the get go, try to stay around 450 degrees they last alot longer as long as u dont exceed the recommended wattage written on the coil, and last but not least if u r running a tank with small wick holes dont buy high vg oil, if that is all u have then after about three good drawls u will have to hold ur fingers over the air hole take two or three drawls without touching the fire button to rewet the wick.

NI or Ni200 is Nickel wire
Ti is Titanium wire

these two wires have a special property compared to the Normal Kanthal most coils use.
Both Ni and Ti wire have a predefined measurable change in their resistance as they heat up.
SO one can actually read the resistance of a wire at room temperature then read it again after it was heated and know the temperature the wire is at using some math.,

This is why these two wires are used in TEMPERATURE CONTROL mode

DO not use either Ni or TI in POWER MODE. These wires will oxidize if they are heated too much and you can inhale some nasty stuff.

originally when Temperature Control (TC) only Ni wire was being used
SO all TC devices are programmed for the resistance change of Nickel wire.

Then Ti wore started to become popular. Not many tanks have prebuilt Ti coils, but many people are making their own Ti coils.
Some devices like your now have a Ti and Ni mode. Why? because the amount of resistance change when Ni is heated is different then when Ti is heated. SO its 2 different set of calculations.

Now some have been using Ti coils in Ni mode and setting the tempertaure about 100F lower.

Thjs works to some degree. Its not as good as having a Ti mode with the correct math, but Ti and Ni have similar properties so the 100F differential works out ok.

NEVER USE NI in TI MODE it just doesnt work well and you could damage the coil or inhale nasty stuff

also Stainless steel coils are now being used for TC as well. But only a few mods have the ability to do this (X CUbe 2, Xcube 2 mini,treebox, any dna200 mod, sx mini M class,)

I have no idea if you can cheat and use SS in other modes.

Now is there a difference in performance between TI and NI?
thats a subjective answer.

Some people feel NI has a better taste then Ti

Others feel the opposite.

Sometime sits a choice between the two when you build your own coils. Ni and Ti each have their own unique hardships when building coils, and they each have their own advantages for coil building.

Basically coils are made form 1 of 5 types of common wires. They can be made of a combination of these wires and there are some other wires people experiment with, but these are the basics:

Kanthal - this is the norm for many prebuilt coils - CAN ONLY BE USED IN POWER MODE - Do not use in NI or TI mode
Nickel (Ni or Ni200) can only be used in NI mode
Titanium (TI) Should be used in Ti mode but can work in Ni mode if you lower your temp about 100F
Stainless Steel (SS) Can be used in power mode - if your mod has an SS TC mode you can use this in that mode as well
NiCHrome (Ni80) Only to be use din Power mode

Hopefully this explains enough to help you out
