Now it's time to actually use it. Attach your cartridge (that's your separate purchase—we're just talking hardware here). Start with the lowest temperature setting, even if you're used to higher. This lets you taste the material without burning it, and it's gentler on the new coil.

Take short, gentle draws—about three to five seconds. You're not trying to win a competition. This helps the wick saturate properly and prevents that dry, burnt hit that happens when you push a new device too hard. After a few puffs, you can bump the temperature up if you want more vapor.

Pay attention to the airflow. If it feels too airy, close it a bit; if it's too tight, open it. Most people settle somewhere in the middle. Adjusting airflow isn't just about comfort—it can affect flavor intensity and how much vapor you get. A little fiddle time now saves frustration later.
