NEVER FIRE A DRY COTTON WICK
It is tempting to press the button right after you install a new coil or pod. Do not do this. Never fire dry. Without e-liquid, cotton will burn.
BREAK IN NEW COILS SLOWLY
You also don’t want to heat up a new coil too quickly. Don’t crank your using a super high-temp pen right off the bat. Instead, start at a lower temp for a few puffs and give your coil time to warm up before blasting it with your hottest levels of electricity.
WATCH THAT E-LIQUID LEVEL
As the level drops, less of the coil is soaking under the surface level which means it is at greater risk of drying out and scorching at hotter temperatures.
The best way to keep your wick soaked is to top it up with e-Liquid every time the level gets low. If a tank sits half-full for too long, clean it out and start a new.
TURN DOWN THE TEMPERATURE
Wicks scorch because they get too hot without enough e-liquid soaking in. The lower a temperature you vape at, the less-at-risk. You may want to turn down the temp as your tank empties or as a coil ages.
DON’T CHAIN-VAPE YOUR WICK DRY
Chain-vaping is when you take puff after puff super fast to fill the room around you with clouds. This can be a lot of fun but every puff pulls liquid directly out of the wick. Vaping fast doesn’t give your coil enough time to re-saturate.
