Bad Ejuice ?

[Gordon Freeman]

Hey guys, i finally joined this forum as i have found lots of answers i was looking for here!

ive been running into a few problems the past month, i've gotten two juices: Sportlight Peaky Blinders, and I love doughnuts. im guessing you're all familiar with those. so these juices are known to be pretty smooth on the inhale, no throat hit whatsoever! but when i got both of them, they hit REALLY hard and im not even joking. i started to cough and my chest and throat really hurt, and it was only 3mg of nic. i am using an RDA and all my other juices are fine, buttery smooth and no throat hit on 3mg, hell i even got a 6mg and it stung less that those two juices. my builds are always sub-ohm ( for the most part ) but even when i did a high resistance coil it still stung really bad. I've been vaping for a while ( 6 years ) and i have never come across a 3mg juice that stung that bad! i tired airing and steeping both juices but nothing changes, my only option was to add vg to the juice which sucks, because now i have to vape more often to get the nic i need ! Anyone that has even half an idea please speak up, any help is appreciated. Thank You.

My first thought is to lower the power on your mod before cutting the juice.

At a guess Sportlight Peaky Blinders is cinnamon, cinnamon is known to kick like a mule for some, I heard this one was muted however. Also I can't think Doughnuts would kick.

I also considered PG causing a throat hit, but I thought Rip trippers juice was high VG.

Another thought is that the nicotine level is high somehow. Not saying that is the culprit, but things can be mislabeled if the bottle says 3mg, if it reads otherwise then there you go for sure.

I agree with NightShadow's suggestions.
Could try to have someone else (drip tip switch) take a toke on your equipment at a B&M and see what they get.
Could be a mismarked batch of high nic or PG from vendor. Could get another sample and compare.
Could contact vendor and ask for solution.

Yeah my main thought was that the juice was most probably mislabeled when it came to the nic level! I have tried reducing the power on my mod to 80w from 110w but no avail. And yeah rips juices are all high VG blends. Thanks for your input bro!

Unless you are not getting any vapor at 80w, try lowering it to say 20w and give it a try, if no bad hit, slowly go up in 10w increments. If you find a LOW wattage that vapes ok, but you get dizzy or light headed or the sweats, after a while then the nic is way too high for sure. At that point stop using the juice.
