Can someone give me an example of dry puff? in volt and watt .. I smoke vape 18mg at 10.1w on eleaf...not sure whether I am dry puffing or not..got a sore throat...
You will taste what is called a dry hit just seconds before you feel it. If you ever lit the wrong end of a smoke you will have an idea as to what a dry hit is. The sore throat can be caused by so many different things so I won't try to address that part.

A Kayfun coiled at 1.8 ohms at 100W. Instant dry hit. (Not that I ever accidentally did that when switching tanks or anything...:oops:)

havent with the kayfun, but definitly have with my subtank mini... with a .9 2mm coil it really dont like to be put on an IPV4 at 125w....

Dry hits are like orgasms - if you aren't sure whether you've had one...you haven't.

Volts and watts depend on the coil head and tank that you're using. A dry hit is just something that happens when the wick isn't saturated enough - it can happen at any level of power. Dry hits are NASTY and they burn your throat. You'd definitely know if that was what was happening.

"Dry hits" happen when your clearomizer/RDA/RDA can't feed the juice fast enough to keep up with the power you have your battery/mod set at.

The rule of thumb for "sweet spot" is the same no matter what vape device you will ever own. Start low power and take a draw, bump it up a little and repeat. If it gets to warm, tastes funny or starts to taste burnt (dry hit), back it down.

    You can get a dry hit at 5 watts just as easily as you can at 50 watts. When your wick runs dry ... you will get a dry hit, and it could care less where you have the wattage set at.

    It works just like your car engine, combustion heats the engine, and the cooling system keeps the engine at the proper temperature.
    Wicking (liquid) and air flow are the cooling system of an atomizer.
