RDA First day dripping and juice is too sweet?

[Zazoie]

This is my first day dripping and have a question....why are all the juices I enjoyed in my tanks now nearly unvapable for they are FAR too sweet. I can't even get a close to a full pull because the sweetness causes me to choke. I have tried 50/50 and 60/40 mixes.

Thanks for any clues.

I am so sorry you are having this problem. I love dripping but have never really had that issue. I know I have read where a lot of people say they have to lower their nic because of dripping. I never did. I can't remember anyone saying dripping changed the sweetness. Not really much you can do. You can try to dilute it down (but that would also lower your nic, I don't think the flavors would be so diminished that you would really mind). Another suggestions is there is an additive called Bitter Wizard. This will take away the sweetness you are referring to. You just use 1 drop per 10 mls. I have read both positive and negative reviews on this. I have gotten different throat hits with different Ω's. I wonder if your build has anything to do with this. Maybe let them know the type rda you are using and the ohm's. This is a poser.

Sorry I am not much help but I am sure others that know for sure will come along. Going to follow this thread so I can learn something also. Again, sorry you are having any problems. But be patient. Someone will help you figure this out.

Dripping in my experience tends to enhance the flavors of many juices. Sometimes, this enhancement includes all of the notes you wouldn't taste in a clearo tank - and those hidden notes just aren't tasty when you can actually taste them!

You can try playing with your ratios (higher VG, higher PG, etc) and your nic levels to see if that helps. But some juice just doesn't taste great in RDA's, but does in other juice delivery systems.

I hope you get it figured out!

Most people use high vg or 100% vg juice for dripping. Also, you can lower your nic significantly. Most drippers use 3 to 6 mg nic.

What setup are you using?

For me the more voltage I use on my little ego twist the less sweet my menthol is. At 3.2 it tastes like cool peppermint and at 4.0 a nice unsweetened sharp menthol. Try adding more voltage?

The set-up can make a definite difference. I have multiples of some of my RTAs/RDAs, the ones that I use most, so I tend to get a similar vape.

An RDA can emphasize flavors quite a bit, including nicotine, so I am careful when doing it. When an RDA is to strong, I move the flavor/juice to an RTA to see if it is better.

Thank you everyone for the help. I am running a IVP Mini 2 70 Watt with a mutation x, the coils were prebuilt .5 ohms and I've been wicking with cotton I got at the B&M vape shop.

it could just be your taste buds getting all wonky as it looks you're a new vaper, hang in there.

same thing happen to me a a week or two i lost flavour then a few weeks later when i first tried drippers everything tasted super sweet.. then things normalized.

If you're choking after you take a draw you might be over saturating the wick. Too much liquid can cause the vape to taste off. Before you try anything see if you can vape most of the liquid out of the wicks and try putting a few drops on your coil or coils just to saturate it and give it a shot.

As in, .5ohms separately, but you're running duals? Or? What's your resistance actually at? How much power are you using?

This might help, though I've never actually experienced that problem.

+1 on what Matty and Evl said

Honestly, juice being too sweet in your RDA is a good problem to have. There's so many flavors out there to choose from with varying sweetness. I've had countless bouts with vapers tongue and I base the flavor quality of any dripper I buy off of how much sweetness I can taste. Not sure if I'm in the minority here..

Process of elimination and one of the first things I'd try is bringing the wattage way down. Good luck and hope you get it sorted.
