Harsh vape?

[Wiredgwc]

Ive been vaping for 3-4 years now and it hasn't made any difference what my setup is, but ive experianced a harsh vape when i first fire my vape mod up after not using for a couple hours. If anyone has an explanation i would greatly appreciate any info on why this happens and any advice on how to reduce this effect.

What setup are you using? What level nicotine? Most I get is a stronger hit due to a well saturated coil. The more you use it the less juice that gets to the coil and vise versa. I would recommend either a lighter nic or more airflow to help out with the harshness. You DIY or buy vendor juice? Hope this helps.

Im using the Sigelei 150w TC. For the tank it is the Horizon Artic V8 with the kanthal coils. As for the juice I order from MT Baker at 3 mg nic and 100 vg. I have the air flow maxed out.

It doesn't seem to make a difference what tank or mod i use. A friend of mine has the same issue and they use a dripper. Do you suppose im trying to im trying to heat the coil too fast without a warm up peroid?

hold your tank/mod in your hand for a while and bring it up to body temp..

I walk a lot outside in winter if I don't do that I need to turn down my wattage about 10 watts for a few puffs so it isn't harsh..

Hope this helps

Maybe try doing a quick prime on the coils? I've taken to doing that with my tanks that have been sitting for a while. I'm running MT Baker 80%VG juices for the most part and haven't had problems. Perhaps their max VG juice is just a little to thick to wick quickly. Don't know why that would affect a dripper unless he was starting off with dry-ish coils..

Yeah... If I had 8 coils to feed, I might do some primer puffs.

op: How many watts are you using? Perhaps drop it below 50 for the first couple pulls and then ramp it up to it's usual (what about 100-110? More? )

Ive noticed mine is pretty rough first thing in the morning.... I now take a few "only mouth" inhales to preheat the coil/wick a bit.. seems to work. Also, I read somewhere that nic has a bit lower vaporization temp than VG... so just maybe, the first few "cold" hits contain more nic than a warmed up atty... just a guess on my part.

A couple dry dags has done the trick however i need to find the sweet spot as the tank floods. 100vg juice is really thick but once heated up stay well juiced. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I usually run at about 75 watts anything much more and the vapor gets very hot quick unless you can power inhale.

After about 20 drags at 110 watts my mod powers off with the overheat warning.

Perfect, start a bit lower, maybe 40w and ramp up as tank pressure/temperature increase.

Maine + Winter = Ecig/hand warmer. "sorted".
