Intro
Intro
You've completed plain PG/VG testing, replaced the old wick & have primed a new one with Djuice, gently filled the tank with the Djuice to ¾ way (or whatever) up the glass, connected to your mod, allowed to soak for around an hour, and are all ready to take a few live test tokes.
If you've followed the previous guidelines, you'll have an idea of the maximum suggested Wattage for your chosen coil. However, be aware that this is only a rough guide, & the true life max wattage setting is dependent on toke rate, tank design, juice mix, mod Wattage accuracy & perhaps other factors. Also, it's wise to consider that our coil/wick installation may have been fouled, even if from movement during the tank assembly.
Initial Pre-testing
I'd strongly advise against diving in with anywhere near the max quoted Wirebuddy Wattages. So forget tripping for now, just begin with a wide airflow ring setting with 2-3 second slow tokes on gradually increasing wattages from about half the Wirebuddy max (but staying under about 75% of Wirebuddy Max, and keeping the toke short), paying attention for burning smells, error messages potential error messages, odd coil sounds, wildly fluctuating resistances or error messages indicated on the mod etc. Don't hold any inhaled vapour, although it's unlikely that anything useable will be produced with such low Wattages/short tokes, so don't be too concerned about significant or in fact almost any detectable tripping effects
If you're confident that all is well you can begin exploratory longer tokes at maybe 75% of the Wirebuddy maximum (a bit less for dual coil setups), AFC ring positions you established during previous testing, and experiment thoroughly with toke rates & durations before increasing Wattages.
Single Coil Example: 26x2+36, Ø3mm 5½ turns
Wirebuddy shows 21W maximum, so I'd start by setting the mod to around 16 to 17W on this just to get the feel for it. Set up your airflow ring to the wide side of the green zone as you noted on this page
If you're satisfied with the initial pre-testing as described above then you should be able to take tokes of several seconds to evaluate the vapour quality and start experimenting with toke durations and airflow rates (i.e. how hard to suck). I strongly suggest experimenting thoroughly with these before deciding to increase Wattage setting.
Correct toke rate is crucial. For single coil operation I strongly suggest reviewing the first RTA video, this link takes you to the approx start of the relevant information
Dual Coil Example: two coils, each of 26x2+36, Ø3mm 5 turns
Wirebuddy shows 19W maximum per coil, so this gives us a rough guideline Wattage of high 30s.
So assuming you're happy with initial pre-testing as described above, you should be able to set 25-27W and take some exploratory tokes of 4-5 secs. Note that for dual coils, a significantly greater airflow rate will be needed (particularly when raising the Wattage to near the Max shown by Wirebuddy) to obtain compared to a single, so be prepared to suck a wee bit harder, open the airflow ring a little more, or a combination of both.
Again I strongly suggest experimenting thoroughly with airflow rates and toke durations before increasing Wattage setting.
Popping
Note that many tanks will deliver a single pop about 2 seconds into a fire cycle. I've never known this to occur with pure PG/VG, and it may not even happen with Djuice but be aware as they can sometimes be unexpectedly vicious. My own way around this is to press & hold down the fire button for a couple of seconds whilst not toking. If it pops, then release the fire button, and you'll then be fine for the next minute or more to take a toke without popping concerns
