strange kick in the throat

[TraceKira]

Dear all i have an issue. I dont know what is the reason

I have a kangertech mini + atlantis V2 0.5 ohm , 25W
I use nicotine 18 mg/ml concentration
When i vape i get a spicy hit in the back of the throat, like pepper. It is verry annoying
Is there something wrong with my kit ? I changed a lot of atomizers and i get the same HIT -_-

Hey - it may be your nic level. 18mg/ml for a .5ohm coils is pretty strong and would give a big throat hit. Also what is your VG/PG ratio? Higher PG = Stronger throat hit

 

[Larry J]

Sounds like the nic. Some brands of nicotine have a peppery taste. Have you changed juices lately? Have you changed the amount of nic in your juice lately? Or - it's possible that your juice maker has changed brands of nicotine that they use in their mixes. You might consider going down to a lower nic concentration in your juice and see if that helps.

Yeah, it's 18mg nicotine at .5 ohms for sure. That's pretty dang high to be sub-ohming.

 

[Completely Average]

Most people who subohm use between 3mg and 6mg. 12mg is pretty high for subohming, and 18mg is like "OMG how do you keep from making yourself sick" levels.

Hello and Welcome to ECF
Yea I agree with everyone else. I used to vape 18mg until I started vaping with coils under 1.0 ohm,
I had to drop down to 3mg. The higher Nic made my throat feel funny too.

for 25 watts you want more like 4 to 8 mg, not 18mg.

For 18mg, you'd want more like 5 to 10 watts

I would definitely say it's too high of nicotine with the gear you are using. Most people who use sub ohm gear vape under 6 mg, and I would say the largest part are 3 mg or less.

Buy some juice in a zero nic of the same flavor. Combine 1 part zero and 1 part 18 (equally) will give you a 9 mg juice. Two parts of zero nic and 1 part of 18 nic will yield a 6 mg juice.

Well i didnt knew 18 was very high for subohming ( i was 1 pack per day and i thought i need high nic content juice)
Now i dropped to 12 mg ... I guess this is also too high...Anyway except throat hit i didnt get any side effects (10 ml/day) O_O

+1. Too much nic.

 

[Vesuvius]

I vape 24mg, even vape 36mg but when going sub I use 6mg.

 

[daviedog]

I vape 18mg @ .6 ohm. 25 to 40 watts. For over 5 years.
Nico overdose,, headache, light headed, nausea.
Peppery taste is definitely nicotine. Try for a different supplier if it bugs you.
I'm attuned to nico flavour because i diy flavorless for over 3 years..

Are sub ohms a fairly new thing (or gaining popularity suddenly?) This would explain why the place I get my juice from now has a 1.5mg option, where before the lowest was 3. I've been at 3 for a long time and may go lower now that it's an option!

The Sub Ohm started gaining great popularity about 18 months ago as gear greatly improved. Move to the 1.5 in nic, it doesn't hurt a bit. I've been at zero nic for over a month now and still enjoy the vape.

The popularity of subohming really blew up in the past year as cheap, high powered regulated mods became available.

Before about 18 months ago the only way to subohm was with a mech mod and an RDA. About 2 years ago the first DNA mods that really delivered the power for subohming started coming out, but they were expensive and still required an RDA for subohm builds. Around 18 months ago you started seeing cheaper Chinese clones of DNA mods and the first subohm capable tanks hitting the market. It was around a year ago that people started having the option of cheap regulated mods and a decent selection of retail tanks made for subohming, and that's when the popularity really took off.
