Dry hits... Kind of

[Ride394]

So I quit smoking completely 12 days ago and my lungs can finally handle micro coils with cotton at about 1.5ohms. The only problem I'm having is a dry feeling. I'm getting good flavor and vapor. I vape right around 4v on my MVP and EVic. I'm still using mostly 18mg MBV juice. Most is 50/50. Just wondering if it could be from the pg or from the higher nic. My wicks aren't burning so I'm leaning more towards the juice for this. I did vape some boba's at 9mg I believe and that was great but it doesn't tell me if my problem is the pg or the nic. Any ideas???

Prolly too much cotton, restricting the wicking

That was my first thought, but I make sure the cotton pulls through easy and don't leave a ton of excess in the drip well. Forgot to mention this is happening on multiple attys. I have an IGO-l, smok mini RDA, and it's also happening with my rebuilt EVODs. I've also went down to 3.5v but that doesn't seem to help.

Up your beverage intake a bit more.

If it isn't burned tasting, it isn't a wicking issue or dry hit.

In my experience, MBV dehydrates me terribly. It is so bad my tongue will burn and my throat gets really scratchy.

Yeah, sounds like the dreaded vapors tongue.

Edit: you may also want to check your coils for any 'hot legs'.

I drink a TON of water so I don't think that's it. Sandt you might be onto something. It is sort of a scratchy feeling.

It's more of a feeling in my throat than it is a flavor issue.

On your drippers, soak the wick, and check that your not getting a "hot leg".

You should be able to keep it fired without any of the wire glowing for several seconds.

Checked that at work today after reading another post about building coils.

It's hard to say, could be dehydration, could be PG, could be nic. For me, the PG "throat hit" doesn't feel like what others describe. It feels scratchy, so I vape 100% VG. Without trying different things yourself, there is really no way to be sure.
