Hi Holly,
I do not believe that you mentioned this, and I don't see where someone suggested it, but did you prime you coil before you vaped on it for the first time?
No problem.
I highly recommend you visit all the vape shops in your area. Most will have "flavor bars" where you can taste their juice before you buy.
Post #9 instructions given.
Someone else helping me said that they did, so I'm going to say yes.
I will certainly try to, I live in a small area with not as many reputable places for suppliesNo problem.

howdy - and welcome!
you are spot on thinking nic level is too high - with a .5 ohm coil, that 18mg is going to hit like getting smacked in the face with a wet brick...
may want to try getting a 6mg and a 3mg in a flavor you like... try the 6 - if it is still too harsh, mix some of the 3 in with it to tone it down... i started with 18mg, 12mg nic level on a 1.8ohm coil - when i switched to sub ohm (coil rating below 1.0 ohm - in my case it was also a .5ohm coil) I dropped to 6mg and got same amount of nicotine delivery, effectively
Where do you live?
If you update your profile, members will be better able to assist you if you have questions regarding sourcing.
Yeah, I'm gathering that I was silly buying that level. I am going to lower it and I will certainly update if that's the problem. Sounds like it is. I wouldn't say a wet brick....but maybe a regular dry brick lol. =P Thank you!
sister, i wouldn't say it was silly - you were following the advice (not great) that you were given
you are in the right place - keep in mind, you will get LOTS of suggestions and advice, but the key is finding what works for YOU - be patient and remember it is a process, and you are on the pathi tend to vape a 9mg in the morning (on a sub ohm coil) as a 'jump start' for my brainium, but mostly vape 3mg juice during the day - it helps that I mix my own, so that I can adjust easily if needed... keep asking questions - you can do this!
Thank you, I appreciate the friendly advice! I'm not the most patient person so it should be fun. lolsister, i wouldn't say it was silly - you were following the advice (not great) that you were given

Welcome to the board. You're getting the right advice, so I'll stay out of it, mostly. Yes, as has been recommended, lower your nic, try other juice vendors, try raising your VG in the juice, and be careful to prime your coils. The only thing I will add is a .5 ohm coil is pretty powerful, and your 18mg juice is not intended to vape that low. Most people subohming like that use 6mg or lower. I do, and my nic is 3mg. Lowering your nic should help, but raising your coil value into the 1.2-1.8 range is something you might like to try. If you do, remember they work best on lower watts, make less vapor, and you can usually tolerate higher nic levels like that as you will be getting less vapor per puff. Using your .5s at 7 watts underpowers them; that's why your vapor is thin, the coil is barely warm. A higher value coil will work better in the 7-15 watt range.
Thank you! I'm realizing that I didn't need that high of a nicotine level so I'm going to go with what you and others said about lowering it to around your range. According to the one post wth the level to cigarettes a day smoked, it needs to be lower lol. 18 is just to much.
I think you'll be happier like that. That should let you raise the watts a bit-- .5s usually are good in the 20-35ish range-- so it should work better and give you more vapor. Or try a higher coil in your current wattage range.
also, keep in mind that the PG/ VG ratio will affect 'throat hit' or harshness... typically, higher PG = more throat hit (and pg carries flavors better) and higher VG = more vapor, smoother... i tend to prefer 70% vg, myself, but that really is completely personal preference - some folks can be sensitive to either too much pg or too much vg
you can always set that bottle aside, if you like the flavor, and get some 0 nic in same flavor to 'cut' it with (2 parts 0 nic, 1 part 18 nic = 6 nic)

Welcome to the forum! I'm kind of new here, too. Lots of good folks and plenty of great knowledge to be had here! Good luck on the transition. Stick with it. I tried once before and fell back to cigarettes. I recently came back and jumped in to the bigger, better equipment right off, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me, too. But it was worth it.
Reducing nicotine will help as mentioned. Also, forgive me if it's been asked and I missed it. Is this your first vape? Have you used anything else before? Like played around with your friends setup?
