How To Change Ohms On Smok Alien

So, there I was, standing in a vape shop, staring at the shiny new Smok Alien in my hands, like a kid in a candy store. The sales guy, let's call him Vape Viking, was explaining the features, and I was trying to keep up. Then he dropped the bomb, "You can change the ohms on this bad boy!" I blinked, "Ohms? Like, the electrical resistance thingy?" He nodded, and I felt a sudden urge to understand this mysterious world of vaping better. So, here we are, let's dive in!

Why Change Ohms, You Ask?

Alright, let's start with the basics. Ohms, or ohms law, is like the traffic cop of your vape. It controls the flow of electricity, and thus, the power of your hit. Lower ohms mean more power, higher ohms mean less. It's all about finding that sweet spot, right? Now, why would you want to change it? Well, it's all about personal preference. Some folks like a big, warm, flavorful hit (sub-ohm vaping), others prefer a cooler, milder vape (above-ohm vaping).

First Things First: Safety

Before we get started, let's talk safety. Changing ohms involves dealing with electricity, so you gotta be careful. Make sure your battery is fully charged, and your tank is empty. Also, keep your fingers away from the battery's positive post when you're firing the mod to check the resistance. Trust me, you don't want to be that guy who fried his finger.

Let's Get Our Hands Dirty

Alright, let's get down to business. The Smok Alien is a temp control mod, which means it can automatically adjust the power output based on the resistance of your coil. Here's how you change it:

Step 1: Prime Your Coil

Before you install your coil, give it a good prime. This means filling the wicking material with juice. It's like giving your coil a first hit, so it's ready to go when you are. Just drip some juice into the wicking holes and let it soak in.

Step 2: Install Your Coil

Now, screw your coil into the tank, making sure it's tight. Then, push the coil pins through the holes in the base of the tank. You should hear a click when it's properly seated.

Step 3: Check the Resistance

Now, it's time to check the resistance. Press the fire button three times to turn on the mod. Then, press the up and down buttons simultaneously to enter the menu. Use the up and down buttons to scroll through the options until you see "Resistance." Press the fire button to select it. The screen will display the resistance of your coil. If it's not what you want, don't worry, we can change it.

Step 4: Change the Ohms

To change the ohms, you'll need to use the up and down buttons. Here's a little trick: if you hold down the button, it'll scroll faster. Just be careful not to go too fast and overshoot your desired resistance. Once you've got it where you want it, press the fire button to save your setting.

Step 5: Test It Out

Now, it's time to take your new ohms for a test drive. Just fill up your tank, let it sit for a bit to give the juice time to soak into the coil, and then take a hit. If everything's working right, you should feel a nice, smooth vape. If not, don't worry, it's all about trial and error.

Pro Tip: Keep a Log

Here's a little pro tip for ya. Keep a log of your ohms and how they affect your vape. This can help you figure out what works best for you. You can even get fancy and make a little chart with columns for ohms, power, flavor, and cloud size. It's like your own personal vape lab!

And there you have it, folks! You're now a certified ohms-changer. Just remember, safety first, and don't be afraid to experiment. Vaping is all about finding what works best for you. So, get out there, change those ohms, and happy vaping!
