Vaping is all about finding the perfect balance between resistance, wattage, e-liquid, and airflow to suit your personal preferences. Whether you're a seasoned vaper or just starting out, understanding how to use your OXVA Vprime device effectively can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll break down the key tips and recommendations for using your OXVA Vprime based on resistance levels, vaping styles, wattage, e-liquid types, and airflow settings.
Understanding Resistance and Vaping Styles
The resistance of your coil plays a crucial role in determining your vaping experience. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right resistance for your preferred vaping style:
-
0.2ohm: Best for DTL (Direct-to-Lung) vaping. This low resistance is ideal for those who enjoy big clouds and intense flavor.
-
0.4ohm: Suitable for RDL (Restricted Direct-to-Lung) vaping. A balance between cloud production and flavor.
-
0.6ohm: Also recommended for RDL vaping, but with a slightly tighter draw and lower wattage.
-
0.8ohm: Perfect for MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) vaping, mimicking the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette.
Pro Tip: If you’re using a 0.20ohm cartridge for MTL vaping, make sure to use the fire button to assist operation for a smoother experience.
Wattage Recommendations
Pairing the right wattage with your coil resistance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your device. Here’s what we recommend:
-
0.2ohm: 45W-60W
-
0.4ohm: 28W-35W
-
0.6ohm: 20W-25W
-
0.8ohm: 12W-18W
Using wattage outside the recommended range can lead to burnt coils or a subpar vaping experience, so always stick to the guidelines.
E-Liquid Recommendations
The type of e-liquid you use also depends on your coil resistance and vaping style. Here’s a breakdown:
Freebase E-Liquid (PG/VG = 3/7):
-
0.2ohm: 0-3MG
-
0.4ohm: 0-6MG
-
0.6ohm: 0-9MG
-
0.8ohm: 0-12MG
Nic Salt (PG/VG = 5/5):
-
0.2ohm: Not Recommended
-
0.4ohm: Not Recommended
-
0.6ohm: 0-20MG
-
0.8ohm: 0-30MG
Note: Nic salts are better suited for higher resistance coils (0.6ohm and above) due to their higher nicotine concentration and smoother throat hit.
Airflow Settings
Adjusting the airflow on your Vprime device can significantly impact your vaping experience. Here’s how to set it up based on your coil resistance:
-
0.2ohm: Fully Open – For maximum airflow and cloud production.
-
0.4ohm: 3/4 Open – A balance between airflow and flavor.
-
0.6ohm: 1/2 Open – Slightly restricted for a smoother draw.
-
0.8ohm: Slightly Open – Tight airflow for a true MTL experience.
Final Tips for Vprime Users
-
Start Low and Adjust: If you’re new to vaping or trying a new coil, start at the lower end of the recommended wattage range and gradually increase until you find your sweet spot.
-
Prime Your Coils: Always prime your coils by adding a few drops of e-liquid to the cotton before use. This prevents dry hits and extends coil life.
-
Experiment with E-Liquids: Don’t be afraid to try different e-liquid flavors and nicotine strengths to find what works best for you.
-
Clean Your Device Regularly: Keep your Vprime clean and well-maintained to ensure consistent performance.
