How to Set Up Your RELX E-Cigarette: A Complete Guide
Congratulations on purchasing your new RELX e-cigarette. Whether you are a novice or an experienced e-cigarette user, you should know that choosing a high-quality e-cigarette device will significantly improve your experience.
However, to consistently achieve great taste and satisfying vaping results, it takes more than just a good device. The setup process is crucial and can make the difference between a successful or a failed experience.
If you’re not sure how to set up your new e-cigarette and don’t want to go through the hassle of having a dead battery or burning out your e-liquid, follow this step-by-step guide.
Step 1 - Charge your device
Unlike other forms of nicotine inhalation, e-cigarettes require some preparation. Most e-cigarettes rely on internal batteries, so you need to make sure the device is fully charged before using it.
It usually takes 2-4 hours for a new device to charge from completely empty to fully charged, although some smaller devices may take as little as 1 hour. Most e-cigarette kits come with the necessary charging equipment, including the device itself, a USB charging cable, and (possibly) a wall charger adapter.
Accessing the battery assembly can be a little tricky, as it is usually hidden inside the device. Generally, the battery can be accessed by unscrewing the bottom of the device. It is important to note that devices with built-in batteries do not need to have their batteries replaced.
If you have difficulty locating the battery pack or have questions about your battery pack, it is recommended that you contact the manufacturer. As with other battery-powered devices, improper use may result in damage to the equipment or personal injury.
Step 2 - Check the Coil
Although e-cigarettes may seem simple to use, there are some basic terms you need to master to operate them correctly. One of the most important terms is "coil."
The coil is a key component that heats the e-liquid inside the device and turns it into vapor. You can easily find the coil when you take apart an e-cigarette because it is attached to the wick material of the device (usually cotton, but sometimes rayon, silicone, or mesh).
Every time you use a new device, make sure the coil is wrapped correctly around the wick. If the coil does not fit snugly around the wick and spiral, you will need to make adjustments.
If the coil is not tightened, the e-liquid will leak from the surrounding pores and vapor will not be generated.
Step 3 - Pre-lubricate the coil
Not only does the coil need to fit snugly against the wick, it also needs to be “pre-moistened” to produce the ideal vapor taste and concentration you expect.
To avoid dry draws or unpleasant burnt smells, you must ensure that the cotton wick is completely saturated with e-liquid. The best way to do this is to pre-moisten the coil.
The process of pre-lubricating the coil is to add lubricant to the coil before heating it. Simply drip a few drops of e-liquid onto the coil before filling the oil tank, so that the cotton core around it can fully absorb the e-liquid.
Only a fully pre-moistened coil (and a fully saturated wick) can produce a thick, rich-tasting vapor, so this is an important step that can’t be overlooked.
Step 4 - Let the liquid sit
Even if the coil is pre-moistened, you still need to give the wick some time to fully absorb the e-liquid. E-cigarette experts recommend that after filling the oil tank or the cartridge, you should let the device sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the e-liquid to fully penetrate the wick.
If the cotton core is still dry when heated, it will cause the cotton core to burn, which will not only affect the taste but may also cause damage to the equipment.
Step 5 - Power on the device
Once the coils are pre-lubricated and the e-liquid has sat, you are ready to start vaping!
Starting the device can be a little difficult, and to prevent the e-cigarette from accidentally starting when placed in a bag or pocket, the device usually requires a specific starting operation.
Quickly press the power button five times to turn on the device. If you're still having problems, your device may have a more complex design and should be checked in your manual or manufacturer's instructions.
Other things to note when setting up your e-cigarette
- E-liquid ratio <br data-mce-fragment="1">Different users have different preferences for vapor concentration, and the e-liquid ratio will also be different.
- Thinner e-liquids (e.g. 50:50 or lower ratio, coil resistance 1.0 ohm and above) require lower heating temperatures, and the vapor is smoother and easier to inhale.
- Thicker e-liquids (such as a 70:30 ratio, suitable for sub-ohm devices with coil resistance below 1.0 ohms) produce thicker vapor.
Note: If you use too thin e-liquid in a sub-ohm device, it will usually cause leaks or burning issues.
- Coil Replacement <br data-mce-fragment="1">Even the best quality coils usually only last 5-7 days. When setting up your e-cigarette, you also need to be prepared to replace the coils as soon as the taste deteriorates to avoid burning and damaging the device.
in conclusion
To achieve an ideal vaping experience, it’s not enough to just buy a quality device.
Correct operation steps and material usage are crucial to the performance of the equipment. Ignoring the above steps may result in poor taste or even damage to the equipment.
Take the time to set up your vape correctly, your taste buds will thank you for the effort
