Frustrated - need help please

[jhander2010]

Hi Cern,

I'd be cautious raising the nic level on a rebuildable as you're already suffering through rough hits- that will only get worse with more nicotine. Also, you mentioned needing to constantly vape to achieve the same results as an analog- as do I. However, I enjoy the flavor of my ejuice so I don't mind vaping more often than I smoked. Do it enough to keep the cravings away and you can worry about cutting back down the road. The fact is, youre trying to quit cigs. That's hard to do. At least with your vaporizer, you have an outlet for the hand to mouth fixation as well as the nicotine addiction. Don't worry as much about how often you're vaping. Also, maybe try a regular clearomizer- there are some excellent options out there that may help to reduce the intensity of the throat hit. Most people will tell you rebuilding is the way to go, but stock coils deliver less of a hit so it might help.

Good luck to you!

When I 1st started vaping and quit smokes/chew. I had a period were I was coughing. I believe it lasted about 1 or 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden my coughing stopped. Your lungs are trying to get all that nasty tar and whatever else out of them. This is a good thing in my own opinion. I'm no doctor though. If it is something that doesn't go away after a while I'de go see your doctor. You may be allergic to 1 or more components in liquid.

I just wanted to update this thread and let everyone know what happened. Also in case someone else has similar issues they might find some answers here.

I went in search of high nic juice and found there is none to be had in my town. Finally I spoke to the owner of a brand new store here in town and he convinced me to come in with assurances that he could help me out without the need for strong juice... in fact, he thought my 12mg juice was too high!

With some trepidation, I went downtown to see what this guy could do for me.

First, he re coiled my tugboat to .06 ohms - then replaced my rayon with organic cotton

I totally grooved on some Dragonthol juice from DNA and some SCRONIC from Sleeping Dragon Vapor. I know the Dragonthol is a 50/50 PG/VF blend but not sure about the scronic juice.

I'm dripping the Dragonthol at a strenght of about 9mg in my tugboat and filled up a Kayfun clone that he sold me with 12mg strenght of the scronic.

My troubles are gone. Only minimal cough now and it's only occasionally when I get a bit in my lungs.

Happy Vaping!!

I'm not sure if my problems were the two year old juice, a bad job on the coils, the rayon wicking or the fact that my 12mg juice was two year old. Maybe it was a combination..

That should read 0.6 ohm, dual coil

That should read 0.6 ohm, dual coil

You are correct! oops

I'm glad to hear it. I also had a hard time quiting. After about two weeks of using cigalikes with crappy flavors and low smoke volume I was ready to go back to analogs, then I discovered ego batteries and clearomizers. Now 1 year and 7 months later, I'm into mods , RBAs and making my own juice.
It's a learning process for sure. Your going to be fine...just keep asking questions and trying new things, after all, your health depends on it!

Do you want to cough? I would find that to be counter productive to enjoying a good vape. If you want to cough try getting a menthol or harsher juice. But the longer you are off analogs the less likely you will cough.

Great to hear! the good vape shop can fix anything sounds like you found a good one. It really makes a difference
