Caliburn hurting my throat

[Podvapster]

Okay so i got a caliburn a few weeks ago but it's collecting dust now.
Im using 9mg 70vg/30pg juice .
At first the flavor was sooo good i thought something was suspicious..
And after a day or two my throat starts hurting so bad , like when u get a really bad sore throat. I think it's because I've been drinking e juice from caliburn and that's why it was so delicious , because it was all over my mouth.
I've stopped using it and i i have no problems with my throat anymore .. I'm sill vaping btw( same e juice)

Welcome to ECF, Podvapster. I'm certain that it's a good thing you stopped drinking the ejuice..

I’m guessing you mean that the atty was spitting? I suppose enough juice might irritate your throat, but - forgive me, but I hear this all the time so I’m going to suggest- did you clean it before you used it?

I’m not familiar with your particular atty, but I’m sure others could suggest reasons and fixes for spit back.

I'm using it with 15-18mg, 70PG, and no spits at all. I wonder if it can't handle that high of a VG level.

Regardless, yes, not worth it if you ingesting it in liquid form. Sorry to hear this.

The Uwell rep insinuated that 50/50 is best in the Caliburn.

I have 3. I recommend you buy at least one more so you can cycle them. While you are vaping one, the second one cools and the wick gets wet again. Then vape off the second while the first cools and re-wets the wick. This significantly increases pod life and long term flavor delivery when they are not overheated and dried out from over use. I'm getting 4+ weeks from Caliburn pods while chain vaping.

Now that you have this set up, take longer, gentler pulls to get your mouthful of vapor. Don't pull hard and fast. When you do that the wick gets too wet and you're actually drawing moisture straight from the wick before its vaporized. Imagine putting a wet face cloth to your mouth. A certain amount of inhale will give you humid mouth of air. Pull too hard and you have a mouthful of water.

If your pod is soaked and spitting, push the button for 1-2 seconds before you start to draw. That will vaporize excess juice before you start your draw. That's the beauty of having a manual fire button. You may need to do this a few times before the wick moisture level has been corrected.

Pods have atomizers in them, you know.

How would you clean a new atomizer inside a pod ?

You don't.

The best way to do it is to change the coil head. It might also be possible, but I have no idea, to soak it in Everclear or other high (at least 80) proof alcohol. With the way some or most pods are made though, cleaning the coil head is probably not possible.

If the coil head is not separateable from the ejuice 'container', don't try the 'soak and clean' method!

I don't have many answers I'm not a pod person, but you are getting good ones. It is possible the thickness of the juice was making the juice hard for the pod to vaporize, I would try Izan's suggestion, honestly.

I am just glad you aren't drinking ejuice anymore. I have had a few mouthfuls from time to time and they weren't what I would call pleasant.

I'm glad your throat is clearing up, too!!! Welcome.
