Smok Nord 4 - Please help!

[newbie998]

Hi all! I purchased the smok nord 4 a couple days ago and have since had some major problems getting flavour using my nic salts.

As seen online I noticed it’s better to use a 1.+ coil for nic salts, after purchaing the 1.2 quartz coil for my salts, it’s even worse flavour than the mesh - none whatsoever.

I’m currently using the 0.4 mesh coil with my Aisu pink guava 10mg and there is a slight flavour at the first puff then nothing on the exhale. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Ive tested out on all wattages and it’s still not great.

I read online there’s a way to pick at the cotton inside the coils to help increase the airflow.

So far I’ve tried Dinner Lady, IVG and Aisu salts (20mg, 10mg) and they’re just not hitting right. I did use a 70:30vg liquid and that worked a lot better than nic salt.

Please help!! I’m new to vaping

Hi @newbie998 and welcome to the planet.

ive not used that kit and dont vape salts so cant help much but hopefully someone will be along soon to gve advice.

have you fully charged the kit if its new as for a first charge it can take some kits a good 2-3 hours to charge.

what wattage have you tried so far?
also just to check is yours the 80watt mod.

I have tried up to around 40 watts but consulted the recommended wattages. I noticed on a few of them the coil gets really hot when I ramp it up quite high (around 40)

let me have a search to see what coils are available and what wattage range they are.

i could only find a list on ebay so no idea if these are totally accurate rates.

RPM2 Coil Range:
RPM2 0.16 Ohm MESH Coil - 25w to 50w
RPM2 0.6 Ohm Dual DC Coil - 12w to 25w

RPM1 Coil Range:
RPM1 Mesh 0.4 Ohm Coil - 25w
RPM1 DC 0.8 Ohm Coil - 16w
RPM1 MTL Mesh 0.3 Ohm Coil
RPM1 Triple 0.6 Ohm Coil - 25w
RPM1 SC Single Coil 0.6 Ohm Coil - 14w
RPM1 Quartz 1.2 Ohm Coil - 12w - Purer Flavour - Fast heat up time
RPM RBA Coil - 0.6 Ohm fitted coil - 0.25 Ohm needed as minimum

Thanks so much for this! I’m using the 0.4 mesh now at 25w and the flavour is just not there. I’m starting to think maybe nic salts are not made for this device. I think i need to go and chat with the vape shop guy tomorrow

usually dinner lady have a strong taste and ive only ever tried one ivg but that was pure sweetner overload and a serious coil killer but ive never tried any of their salts.

is it a tight draw or lose. maybe play about with the air holes on each side to see if that helps but if theres not much taste then something is not right.

not seen her on today but tagging @DeeDee aka (Pod Queen) who loves her salts.

I noticed this with my dinner lady lemon tart!! My coil would not get rid of the taste even when trying it with other liquid after using this.

Its slightly better when i use it on the looser air hole! not super flavour or anything. Maybe i need to try again after a few hours
