ewww burning at only 3v?

[lal]

I'm using an istick with a nature vape mini and a nature vape coil, new coil 1.3ohm, and it's tasting burnt?  I did accidentally turn it up to 5v earlier, do I just need to change the cotton?

Yes, a good starting point, I would turn the Istick to minimum watts and suck it and see till you get your sweet spot, ignore what it says on the istick, just remember what you end up at for next time

Ok will change it when I can be arsed! 3v is the lowest or goes, usually vape around 3.9 - 4.3

3v is the lowest it goes in voltage setting and with your 1.3 ohm coil your at around 7 watts in a normal device but this ay higher due to the odd way the iStick works.
If you switch to wattage mode you can set it at 5 watts I think the lowest is.

Maybe you'd be better with something like a 1.8 ohm coil if the 5w setting doesn't improve things.

Whispers. How do I turn it to wattage?

Press the fire button 3 times to switch between w and v

 Press & hold the fire button lal

But that just fires it for 10 secs?

This lal, three quick short presses 

[reddragon]

Press the fire button quickly 3 times, the same as you do 5 times to turn it off, to switch between w and v.

Thank you, the 3 clicks did it. Still doesn't go below 3v though

No but should go down to 5 watts which is less than 3 volts with a 1.3 ohm coil. But to achieve 5w the reality is the istick would have to output less than 3volts and I'm unsure if it can do this.

set it to 5 watts and if it still tasted burnt you probably need to use a higher resistance coil like 1.8 ohms and set to 5 watts.

Nope won't go below 6.9w/ 3v. It's ok at 3, but go to 3.1 and its burning.

Ah those numbers make sense, your 1.3 ohm coil is preventing you turning the wattage lower. Try an atty with a 1.8 ohm coil and you should find you can go down to 5 watts.
