I've been away from ECF for awhile... life's been crazy. The last real mod I had was a Darwin, before I picked up an MVP, then a whole lotta generic ego's and CE5's... fit the bill for the time.
After watching a Grimmgreen vid on the ipv v2, I picked one up along with a couple of TOBH clones. I'm running a dual coil build w/28g kanthal (1.7ohms) and I'm just astonished by how miserable the vape is compared to my $20 gas station ego clone. I get more vapor (yay!) at the cost of searing, lung boiling heat. It appears to be wicked well with some unbleached, organic cotton I ordered (also my first time using a non-silica wicked anything) but man... it hurts. Air flow seems way too high. Mouth hits would be an impossibility it feels like, and lung hits feel like they would honestly kill me. The vapor is there (not near as much as any of the youtube vids I've watched), it just feels awful.
I've tried various wattages. If I go low enough for the vapor to be reasonably cool enough, it produces less than my ego. I know I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is.
Juice is unmarked ratio, but from the viscosity I would venture a guess at the 60/40 VG/PG ratio. Will try with 100% as soon as I can, I know that would help a bit.
Maybe RDA's are just not for me?
