Help!!!

[Futurern]

Hey y'all. I need a bit of help. Every time I draw on my vape I'm getting liquid and not really any vapor. Any help,would be appreciated. I'm using a Kangertech subox Nano.

When was the last time you changed the coil?

 

[Futurern]

It's a brand new unit and mod. I just bought it 2 or 3 days ago.

 

[DingerCPA]

What coil resistance and what power setting? Sounds like it's running too cool for the coil

 

[Toronnah]

Try firing for a full second before you start drawing.

You can also try taking your wattage up a little more.

 

[Futurern]

It's a .5 and the wattage is 18.5

I was vaping a 0.5 today at 18w, so that's enough.

Flooded in any way? Battery?

 

[Futurern]

Battery is fully charged and I charge it turned off. It don't believe it's flooded but I don't really know what that means. Sorry I'm brand new to this.

you may have a bad coil. that happens sometimes with kanger. it could be flooding. try a new coil

Yes, try a new coil. Maybe something happened to it.

I have to say, despite the reputation, I only had 1 bad coil and have been using Kanger tanks since the release of the Protank 1 (Spring 2013).
That's 10% of one vape-shop amount of coils and yet to have an OCC coil (Kanthal or Nickel) that wasn't perfect.

Okay I won't be able to make,it to my local store until tomorrow. ...... Thank you for your help.

Too low. My Kanger owners manual for the subtank mini says 20 to 50 watts for the .5

I don't see the nano being too far off that. Go up to 25 watts and see if there is a difference.

While it's possible it is a bad coil, I would first try bumping up the power to 20 and take a hit. Then 22, 24 ect.. See if any of the higher power wattages will solve the issue. If it gets too hot, starts to taste funny or burnt, back it down.

Is your airflow open?

 

[Futurern]

21 solved the problem but I must not be drawing correctly cause it makes me cough.

Lol someone on Kik asked me the same question. And I had no idea what he meant. But yes it's open.

it may be too much power or too much nicotine for you. have you tried the 1.2 ohm coil at a lower power setting? you could also try taking short puffs and doing MTL

 

[Futurern]

I have not.

There is an adjustment period for newbies learning to vape. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it but a little cough in the beginning is normal. Coughing is also one of the issues most vapers have when switching from cigs to vape as the lung will try and clear itself.

Most people who vape at .5 or lower use low nicotine (6 mg or lower, mostly lower like 3 or less) because you'll be burning twice the juice , hence twice the nicotine. A cough is your body's way to try and correct an irritant (like high nicotine).

The higher 1.2 ohm coil will be less harsh if your nic is too high.

If you have a lot of juice at a high nic, then you can buy the same juice in a zero nic and combine the two equally to cut the nic level in half.

I don't have any higher than a 6 thankfully. But Thank you very much for explaining it so well @Sir2fyablyNutz
