Oh Jellyfish...

[SolidSquirrel]

I was getting throat killing hits on 15w on both kanger sub tank heads(.5 & 1.2) and the RBA. I'm talking like I didn't even bother putting juice in the tank or wicking. Thought it may have been just the kanger since it's my first one. Nope, I tried all 3 of my Melo tanks and felt like I was inhaling razor wire. Has any other Jelly owners had this experience?

Nicotine and high PG are the 2 biggest contributors to throat hit. Most people drastically reduce the nicotine level when going to sub ohm tanks.

Using max VG @ 6mil.

I also tried my wife's 0 nic. Same results.

Just curious how long you've been vaping? Is direct lung inhales something new to you? Only reason I ask is because most vapors start with a system where you pull the vapor into your mouth and then inhale (mouth to lung). Direct lung hits take a bit to get used to. Maybe you could try something like the aspire nautilus tank to see if you still get the severe throat hit? Also it could be one of the flavorings in the liquid you're using that's making the throat hit, strong cinnamon or acidy flavors will do that too. With max vg and 6 or 0 mg of nic the vape should be pretty smooth.

I've only had this problem with the Jellyfish. All my other mods vape perfectly. After I tried the different tanks, I put them back on the mods they came from and they all were smooth as can be.

The Jellyfish uses round robin so 15 watts on it is a good bit stronger than 15 watts on other mods. Try going down to 8 watts and slowly moving up.

The Lotus jellyfish uses PWM / mean voltage regulation and is highly inaccurate in doing so.

Yeah was gonna post something to the extent of this.

The Jellyfish is notoriously strange in its method of rounding up/down the wattage according to the resistance. Kind of to its fault, but I've heard people get great results in specific ohm ranges.

Wow, Mean on a $130 PV. My Mean 20W Istick I ended up running the lowest setting it was so harsh.

Had to set it at 3watts, and I vaped then normally around 8W. 30watter is sweet.

maybe it's using MEAN instead of RMS; If so then just use a lower value wattage; when it says 15 it's probably really 20
