So what can I do to mellow things out a little? I've got the volts as low as they will go.

Next time you install a coil, try to get it a little lower to the deck. The higher the coil, the more TH (it seems to me anyway... and I've read that opinion at least twice from others)

Will do. I knew I had read something about TH and the height of the coil but couldn't remember if the coil should be moved up or down.

You might try and build higher ohm coil if you are already as low as you can go on the dial and move the coil lower to the deck.

It's a lot to learn which gauges produce which ohms at which diameters at how many wraps and at what height. That's a mouthful hehe! I only have 28g so will have to purchase some 30 or 32. Thank you RattlerX.

add 2 wraps and lower it.

^^^Exactly. There are lots of variables, but each wrap equals ABOUT .2 ohm when you use the second smallest thingy on the coil gizmo. So if 12 wraps got you to 1.6 ohms, 14 would get you to about 2.0 ohms. Of course, 14 wraps makes a pretty wide coil. If you use 30 gauge wire, it would only take maybe 8 wraps to get there. There are charts. I can't seem to link things when I'm on my iPad.....

THIS might save you some experimentation, at least it will get you in the ball park :)

This VVG/RM2 is kicking my ....! It's almost to much. Maybe it's my coil, I don't know, but the throat hit is just off the wall strong, I'm feeling it in my lungs and coughing for the first time since I tried my first vape. And I'm getting a headrush if I hit it to often and I'm only using 12mg juice. I do tend to take hits very close together, so that's going to have to change. This is such a dramatic change for me. I'm used to almost no TH with my eBaron's/Provari combo, and that's something that had been dragging me down for quite some time. I'd actually thought about quitting vaping because of it. The flavor on the eBaron was ok so that kept me hanging in there. But this VVG/RM2 is a game changer. No joke. The Reo hype is not hype, it is real.

So what can I do to mellow things out a little? I've got the volts as low as they will go.
I cut my nic levels from 12 mg to 6 mg when I switched to reos and rdas
