Any idea why everything is harsh & making me cough?

[jcco]

Using a Vamo & PT or Evod & now my juices are harsh & making me cough.
It's the same liquids I've been using & lately they all do the same thing.

Changing the settings doesn't help or changing the coils/wicks doesn't matter. Nothing I do helps. Has anyone else experienced this?
I can barely vape anymore it's so harsh. Everything was fine until this started approx. 2-3 weeks ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do experience this occasionally. I'm not 100% sure why but I have a theory...humidity?

Not much info to go on so my first guess would be wicking problems. I never could get along with clearos, top or bottom coil. The wicking action just wouldn't keep up giving me dry scratchy hits. Can you try a carto/cartotank topper?

Have you changed your wicking material lately?

If anything I'm having flooding problems so wicking doesn't seem to be an issue. I have looked into carto tanks but haven't pulled the trigger due to having no funds.

Yes, many times 7 it doesn't help at all.

I know this response wasn't to me but I was wondering if you perhaps developed a sensitivity to whatever you're using as wicking material.

Which version of the Vamo? My V1 can be switched from RMS to AVG. AVG puts out way more power than what the display shows.

I've tried cotton too & nothing seems to help. Even the lightest hit I can take I can barely tolerate. It's so frustrating.

How long have you been vaping? Could you be sensitive to either PG or VG? Have you been using juice with different percentages of them?

It's in RMS mode. Thanks, it made me recheck that anyway.

Vaping probably 6 mos. I have a variety of juices & that PG/VG doesn't seem to matter either. I rotate about 4 or 5 flavors daily.
I'm just stumped as to what is going on.

Lower your voltage or/and try higher resistance coils. Also, try juices with VG content not greater than 30-35%.

Is the Vamo your only PV? Maybe it went crazy. Can you try your toppers on something else? Got any vape buddies you can mix and match toppers and mods with?

Like someone else asked earlier and hopefully it doesn't sound too dumb asking this again, but is it that you haven't changed your coil head in awhile? Sometimes they only last about a week or so.

When I went from my Inferno to a mech mod with a rsst I had to lower my nic. I was dripping 18/24mg on my Inferno, NO WAY I was able to do that on my Natural. I would take hit and cough my lungs out. Swapped to a lower nic for the Natural and now my Odachi and everything is fine.

I have my backups & have switched around everything. I just don't know what the heck is going on.
Everything was fine & this problem all of the sudden popped up. No matter what device or or topper I use still causes this incredibly harsh ordeal. I have fallen off the wagon due to this. It's a complete mystery to me.
The only thing I haven't tried is lowering my nic [I already did]. I started out with 36 & have gone down to 18 & that didn't satisfy my cravings. Last thing I need now is to chain vape. That wouldn't work since I'm coughing my head off.

 

[donesmokin]

Some one on one help would be great. A vape buddy or a B&M shop to try somebody else's set up.

 

[jcco]

I wonder if vaping is just not for me. Funny thing is I've been doing fine until this all started.
Wouldn't any problems would have cropped up before?
I'm going to just keep plugging away before throwing in the towel. That's all I can do at this point.

Maybe it's some temporary thing that will eventually go away. I sure hope so.

36ml, whoa! If you could handle that much nic in the beginning and the problem started "suddenly", I'm still thinking equipment problem.
