VapePuffs Hard Case

Nine times out of ten it is priming. Put five drops of liquid directly onto each exposed wicking port, fill the tank, then leave it standing for five full minutes before the first draw. Start twenty per cent below the coil's rated wattage for the first tank. Sweetened dessert liquids will still gum a coil in half the time of a fruit — that is sucralose caramelising and there is no way around it except changing flavour.

As a rough guide: a pack a day or more, start at 20mg salt in a pod. Ten to twenty a day, 10mg salt. Under ten, or you are moving from another vape, 3mg to 6mg freebase in a sub-ohm device. Too low and you will chain-vape trying to get satisfied, which is the single most common mistake we see.

Nicotine salt is the same nicotine buffered with benzoic acid, which lowers the pH and makes high strengths far smoother. That is why 20mg salt in a pod is comfortable and 20mg freebase in the same device would be unpleasant. Salts absorb faster too, so they satisfy more like a cigarette. Freebase suits low strengths in high-power devices.

Usually not. Leaks are typically an over-tightened coil crushing a seal, liquid that is too thin for the coil's wicking ports, or a tank that has been carried in a warm pocket which thins the liquid and expands the air inside. Try a fresh coil, hand-tight only, and a higher VG liquid. If it still leaks, it is faulty and we will replace it.
