[HARSH THROAT HIT] OBS Crius/Cuboid - can't solve it ) =

[tenacious]

Hi guys,

So i just got my new setup, a obs crius with the new cuboid 150w. I used to vape on a ego c twist/pro tank 2. Never had any problems, throat hit with 6 mg was perfect. The problem is that i'm having a really harsh throat hit with the crius. Not a thumb in the back of the throat, i like that. But a real coughing unbearable spicy throat hit, not smooth at all. I vape at 6 mg 70PG/30VG.

I tried almost everything, lowering the wattages, different wicking, filling up the juice ports half/fully etc. The vape that i am getting is really HOT and not much vapor/flavor.

This is my build:
- Clapton wire (26ga - 32ga) 7 wraps (2mm) 0.42 ohms
- Power mode 10-20 watts

Please help!

Best regards,
Tenacious

Short answer is lower your nic to about 3 mg and lower your PG% to about 30%

Runamok is totally correct. With a build like that verses an ego with a pro tank you are vaporizing a lot more juice so therefor your taking in a lot more nic with each hit. That high a pg at sub ohm levels has to be harsh. Most sub ohming is 3-6mg and 70%VG and up.

as mentioned above try lowering nic and pg for less throat hit

if you have or can get some streight VG fill your tank half full and top off with streight VG and try that as it will dilute the nic and PG which will soften the throat hit


thats what i would try first

Yup yup, totally different animal to what your used too. Way to much PG for that coil.

70VG 30PG

Juice is too thin.

Also, the ramp up time on that build at 20W has to be about 4 1/2 days. I have a VERY similar build in my CLT that I hit with 80W.

26/32 Captons, 1/4" ID 6 wraps, .24 ohm.

I think when you get the high VG juice in it, you will like the quicker ramp-up at a much higher wattage.

Guys it worked! Bought some high VG juice no more harsh hits it's smooth sailing from now on! @Hans Wermhat, yes the ramp up time is not something to write home about at 15 - 20 watts. But at 30 i am getting a 'hot' vape. I like my vapes a little bit cool. What can i do to ramp up ramping time/watts and without getting a hot vape? Higher ohms maybe?

Yeah the heat is another thing to get used to when you graduate from the Baby Clearos, Ie Protank vs Subtank.

The only way I know to heat up claptons quicker is with more power. Adding a wrap or 2 will raise the resistance, but will also slow the ramp up time even more.

Have you tried opening up the airflow more ?
Build a normal .8 - .5 micro coil ...............

Higher ohm will cool the vape, BUT it can also lengthen the ramp time. Lower power setting will also cool the vape as will more air flow and relocating the coil also making a spaced coil vs contact. Might want to start testing build with steam-engine.org. You probably could come up with a build closer to the heat (heat flux) you want and the ramp time (heat capacity). Higher HF is hotter, High HC is slower. I would decide a wattage and OHM to target, then play with changes to all other changeable factors of the build, wire size, and type, Id, Surface Areas, twist pitch ect.
