First Rebuildable... Too much vape?

[bottom_gun]

I just got my first Rebuildable, a Noble 1 hybrid. My only experience is a protank 2 with rebuilt coils for the past three weeks. It arrived wicked up and ready to go, so I put in some juice, fired it, no hot spots. I hit it for the first time and coughed like I just smoked a pack at once. Been trying to figure out the right draw, but it still hits like a locomotive.
Is there such a thing as too much vape?

be sure your air hole is aligned with your coil, check the wicking to ensure your wick isn't lagging; it could fire fine for a second or 2, but if your wick isn't keeping up, it will dry out and you will encounter hot legs/hot hit as you're taking a drag. and if these steps don't help, it could possibly be that your nicotine level may need to be Lowered in your juice. hope this helps, or at least gets you pointed in the right direction, that is far too nice a mod/Genny to have bad experiences on

Mk13, thank you for the reply. Wick hole is lined up. I'm taking super short drags, about a second, and I dropped to 12mg nicotine from my normal 18mg I was running in the protank.

Do genesis tanks have a smokier taste than protanks in general because of the wick oxidation, or is the flavor normally fairly consistent with other types of atomizers? Do drippers have a slight smoky taste to them?

Most pre-wrapped coils (and every single one I've ever tried) are crap. Ditch it, and build your own to start, and go from there.

What's your coil ohm out at?

 

[Rmcgloth]

I wouldn't say smokier, but maybe...darker? If it is hitting you that hard, I suspect either a very low resistance coil, or a hot leg. That is quite a nice setup, don't give up!

 

[MrStik]

Low resistance is probably what you are experiencing, and also, from all my friends who vaped with Mechs and RBAs that used to do 12 and 18mg nic, they say the RBA's hit much harder with the nic so they drop to 6 and lower nic.

you are supposed to check for hotspots on a dry wick....
you may be tasting a small short, hence the harshness.

but yes, most pre made wicks are poop... just like stated by Mitey F.

I was the one that build the coil for him before I shipped it. I used 3/32 cable. 1 Wrap Mesh, and 3/4 wrap 28 gauge kanthal. Like I said you might or have to do one more wrap or maybe try 30 Gauge kanthal and see how you like it.

 

[xxdemonic]

Also Before I shipped there was not one hotspot or hot leg. He might not be used to gennys after all, remember this is hit first time taking a drag off one.

 

[BuzzKilla]

if the coil was good, it could have still been jogged around during shipping....

but what does 3/4 wrap of 28 get you on a Noble?

 

[bottom_gun]

xx did a great job on the build, no hot spots. I just need to add another wrap and figure this out.

 

[bottom_gun]

Alright. Did my first coil using 32ga kanthal (only wire I have for now, from recoiling protanks) and metered at 2.0 ohms, not as much vapor, but much smoother. I'll get some 30ga and 28ga on order and see how it goes as I work my way down to the sweet spot.

Thanks all for the assistance, and definitely thanks to xx for the Noble, wick, patience and help.

It metered at 0.8 ohms.
