As a beginner just getting into e-cigarettes, there may be some unclear points and problems that you can't solve. How do you use an e-cigarette? Below, I will share the difficulties beginners face when using e-cigarettes and how to solve them.
How to use an e-cigarette for the first time
For friends who are using e-cigarettes for the first time, please note:
1. When you receive your new e-cigarette, first check if the battery has power. Press the button five times to turn it on and five times to turn it off. First, replace the original empty mouthpiece with a new one. If there is power, install the atomizer onto the device, then add e-liquid, filling it to about half of the atomization chamber, and then assemble it.
2. After replacing the mouthpiece, wait 1-2 minutes before using it. This allows the e-liquid to soak into the atomizer.
3. During use, the first few puffs may cause coughing, so take it slow and gradually get used to the way of inhaling and the taste of the e-cigarette. You should take a few puffs and then pause; this can extend the lifespan of the atomizer, as continuous heavy inhalation can overheat and damage it. Remember to drink plenty of water, as vaping can dry out your throat due to the glycerin content in the e-liquid, which is a normal physiological reaction.
4. Regarding charging, use the e-cigarette until the battery is dead before charging. When the indicator light goes out, it means it can be charged. When charging, also wait for the indicator light to go out, indicating it is fully charged. I wish all smokers success in quitting smoking!
Can the main device be charged with a data cable?
Devices with built-in batteries can only be charged with a cable. For devices with replaceable batteries, can we use a cable to charge them? Some specify that the USB cable is only for system upgrades, while others indicate that the USB cable can be used for charging, and some even come with fast chargers. When using a professional battery charger is possible, regardless of whether the device chip has a charging module or protective measures, it is best to use a charger to protect both the chip and the battery.
Do not turn on the device without adding e-liquid
Turning on the device without adding e-liquid may cause the atomizer to burn out. Many device kits separate the atomizer from the main unit not just for packaging but also to prevent user errors. If the main device is combined with an unfilled atomizer and the device is turned on, accidentally pressing the fire button may burn the atomizer. The insulating tape added to the bottom of pod products is also to prevent accidental triggering of the atomizer.
Atomizer power
Many beginners, excited to use their first device, fill it with e-liquid and turn it on, then wonder what wattage to use. Many experienced users will tell you that 17/ohm is the wattage you should use. Is this correct? If we have a resistance of 0.66 or 1.21, do we need a calculator?
Actually, it is not necessary. What is the name of our device? A variable voltage temperature control box. From the name, we can see that we control power output by adjusting the voltage. Many devices with single voltage adjustment functions do not even have power adjustment features, controlling solely by voltage. We can adjust the voltage from 3.5V to 4.5V to find the flavor, which is convenient and quick, without the need for calculations. Isn't that much simpler?
The device won't turn on
If the device won't turn on, it is usually due to three reasons: battery, device wiring, or device chip. The battery issue is simple; just replace it with another fully charged battery. How to determine if it’s the chip or wiring? It’s simple: remove the battery and power the device via the USB port. If the chip is functioning normally, the device can turn on without a battery. This little trick is useful! If the chip is fine, check if the positive and negative terminals of the device can connect tightly with the battery terminals, and whether the wiring in the battery compartment is securely soldered.
Do not treat e-cigarettes like traditional cigarettes
Many beginners tend to inhale e-cigarettes in short, quick puffs like traditional cigarettes. This is incorrect! When using an e-cigarette, try to achieve a comfortable feeling and savor the flavor. If you are not familiar at first, just relax and with a little practice, you will master it.
E-liquid has a burnt taste
If the e-liquid has a burnt taste, it may be due to improper settings. The main reason for a burnt taste is dry burning of the cotton, which occurs when the e-liquid supply is insufficient. An effective solution is to reduce the amount of cotton and avoid packing it too tightly; fluffiness is key.
