How to get rid of hot spots in your atomizer

On a standard dual coil build, do you ever feel like one of your coils is heating up faster than the other?  You should probably check to make sure both coils are firing up at the same time, otherwise you may create a short in the circuit.  Here’s an easy way to fix the problem:

Check to see that all screws are tightened up.  Sometimes the screws can come loose by regular use.  If they’re still firing unevenly, you can try squeezing the coils together with ceramic tweezers.  The goal is to get both coils firing together again.

Organic cotton vs. Japanese cotton

Don’t know which cotton to pick?  You should try both so that you know for yourself what kind of cotton you like.  Here are the differences that I found with both.

Organic cotton:

Pros – More flavor, lasts longer, easy to find

Cons – less absorbent, harsher hit

Japanese cotton:

Pros – absorbs a ton of juice, easy to cut and twist, smooth hit, less dry hits

Cons – flavor is toned down, hard to find in stores

How to prime your Aspire atomizer coil

When you change your atomizer coil, do you know how to prime it?  “Priming” is what we call it when we “set up” the atomizer coil to be used the first time.  If you’ve never primed your atomizer coil before, watch this video:

We prime our atomizer coils so that we don’t get that burnt taste when we put fresh e-liquid in our tanks.  Trust me, that burnt taste can last for awhile if you don’t prime the coil.  I suggest doing this with every new atomizer coil you replace in your Aspire tanks, such as the Nautilus, Nautilus mini, Atlantis, ET-S, or K1.  We offer all these tanks at the shop 🙂

Which nicotine level should I choose for my vape?

When using you new e-cig pen, regular cigarettes are equivalent to 12-18mg of nicotine, 18 being more on the bold side.  Light cigarettes are 6mg.  Ultra light cigarettes are 3mg.

Remember that this is just a comparison to cigarettes.  Liquid nicotine will also feel different from smoking a cigarette.  Depending on the resistance that you’re using in your atomizer and the level of voltage/wattage affects the level of nicotine you intake.

Ask yourself this: Am I addicted to the nicotine in a cigarette, or do I just have an oral fixation?  With the typical pack-a-day smoker, we usually start them at 12mg.  From there, we’ll be able to figure out if it’s too much or too little nicotine, or just about right for you.  If you just like the motions of your hand-to-mouth, you may not need any nicotine at all.

How to fill your bottom-loaded tanks

A bottom-loaded tank is a tank where the atomizer coil sits at the bottom base.  Gravity helps the liquid get to the coil and wick at the bottom.  On the other hand, top-loaded tanks have the atomizer coil at the top of the tank and typically has a wick that can be seen inside the tank leading down to the bottom.

How to change your atomizer coils

To keep the freshest taste in your tank, you’ll need to change your atomizer coil after an average of 2 weeks/500 puffs depending on how often you’re vaping.  It’s as simple as unscrewing the coil from the base, and then replacing it with a new one.  Just remember not to over tighten anything that requires it to be screwed onto other pieces.
