THE BASIC SETTINGS OF YOUR BOX

Published 29th June 2022

It’s done, you have decided to equip yourself with an E-cigarette with adjustment. But here is your new little toy in hand, you realize that you do not master Watts, Ohms and all that goes with it. Retrospective on the basic settings to know to get started with your box.

Box screen display

We all started with an EGo AIO, or a Penguin for example, or more simply with an e-cigarette that had only one button. This same button was used to turn on, off and vape. The advantage of its e-cigarettes is that there is no adjustment, everything is done automatically. By switching to slightly more complex Boxes, we have the possibility of adjusting the Box ourselves. So as you probably know the advantages are numerous, the settings allow us to act on the hit, the heat and the production of vapour.

In the majority of cases, the Boxes provide the following information:

– The autonomy of the battery

– The value of the resistance installed on the box

– The setting of the battery (generally expressed in watts)

The different modes of vaping

The variable wattage (VW) mode is the most common and most used mode. This mode allows you to adjust the power in watts according to your convenience and the functions of the resistors used.

If you take the time to observe your resistance more closely, it informs us of the settings to adapt.

They indicate the number of Ohms, depending on the case, the type of resistive wire and below the Wattage for optimal use. For example, this resistance informs us that it is 0.5 Ohm and recommends optimal use between 15 and 30 watts. Thus, by installing this resistance, make sure to set a wattage between 15 and 30. Be careful, and stay well within the manufacturer’s recommendations, otherwise you risk burning your resistance. You can access this mode in the variable wattage mode.

Bypass mode, mainly used by experts, is a mode that allows you to delete all the settings of your electronic box and switch to a mechanical box. This mode of vaping requires a perfect knowledge of its e-cigarette, but also of Ohms. You still keep the security related to the box, but be careful, this mode requires knowledge to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Temperature control mode(CT) is a mode that will give you two advantages. First of all, vaping comfort and increased safety. We are talking about vape comfort because the CT will allow your atomizer to always deliver the same vapour, at the same temperature, and with a constant vape, the rendering of flavours will be optimal. The question of safety is also an advantage since the CT makes it possible to avoid the dry-hit. When the wick is no longer soaked in liquid, the box limits the current, thus avoiding the risk of overheating. This mode also allows you to avoid excessive heating of the battery and, in turn, saves you battery power. Note that this mode is not accessible on all boxes, and all resistive wires, the resistors must be in Nickel NI; Titanium, TI; SS, Stainless Steel, and Stainless Steel.

Error messages

“ Check Atomizer ” or “ No Atomizer ”: informs that the e-cigarette does not detect your atomizer or your clearomizer. Just check that your resistance is correctly screwed as well as your atomizer, and finally check that the connection is made correctly at the level of the screw thread.

“ Atomizer short ”, information indicating that there is a short circuit with the atomizer.

“ Low battery ”, indicates that the battery level is low, you must proceed to charge.

“ Temp protection ”, when you are in CT mode, indicates that the maximum temperature has been reached, and you can use the device normally.

It seems difficult here to explain how each of the boxes available on the market works. It is essential to immerse yourself in the user manual when taking control of your box, which will tell you the few steps to follow to switch from one mode to another, to access the different types of settings. Don’t worry, the settings aren’t that hard.

Happy Vaping everyone!
