Hello

[Joe PVM]

Hi guys

New to this forum thingy. Im new to vaping and so keen to learn more about how this works. One of my biggest questions is why do some juices that so highly rated have a coarse and hard throat hit ?

Is this voltage of mod or to do with tank / filter ?

Im from Malaysia / Singapore.

Glad to meet you guys!

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum @Joe PVM. Glad to have you here!

Many different possible reasons.

• too high nicotine level
• coil not primed well with juice resulting in burning cotton wicking material
  
• too high power (i.e. voltage or wattage) resulting in a "dry hit"

Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

Hey susan

Thanks for the super fast response.

You do get more vapor if you use higher voltage on the mod correct ? How hard are you supposed to suck on the tip actually ?
I notice some ppl suck slow but long breaths where as i have friends that suck very hard and i think you can actually taste some of the e-liquid in your mouth when you do that.

Is that supposed to happen ?

\What do you meany by Coil not primed well.

Do we also have to re-coil everytime we change juices flavors ?

You do get more vapor if you use higher voltage on the mod correct ?

All depends.

• If you don't apply enough voltage or wattage you won't get as much vapor as you could be getting.
• If you apply too much voltage or wattage your tank won't be able to keep up resulting in "dry hits" (i.e. not enough juice available to the coil to be vaporized).

The rule of thumb for EVERY vape device you'll ever own is the same (when running in power or wattage/voltage mode). Turn your voltage/wattage down, take a few hits, bump it up, couple more hits. Repeat until you find your "sweet spot". If it starts to taste funny, gets too hot or tastes burnt, back it down. Different flavors will have different sweet spots so you just have to experiment.

It's a personal preference on how hard you like to draw. I prefer slow & steady.

If you are drawing very hard and don't have enough airflow it is possible to flood the coil and get juice in your mouth. If that is happening either open up the airflow or don't draw so hard.

What do you meany by Coil not primed well.

Priming a Coil

All cotton coils have to be primed well with juice. If they are not primed well the cotton will burn. Once the cotton is burned the burned taste doesn't go away.

To prime the coil, drop 5-8 drops (sometimes less/more depending on the size of the coil head/size of the dropper) of juice right inside the coil, another drop of juice in all the holes on the side of the coil. Put the coil in the base.

• If Bottom Filling - Fill the tank and then screw the base back onto the tank.
• If Top Filling (some tanks are top filled) - Screw the tank on the base and then top fill it.

Once you put the tank on the battery give it several unpowered primer puffs. This will make sure the wick is fully saturated.

Do we also have to re-coil everytime we change juices flavors ?

No. I have some coils that I have build that are over a month or two old. I don't even re-wick them between flavors.

Welcome to ECF, make yourself right at home Joe
Too much PG can affect throat hit also.

Hi and welcome. The throat hit thing is more probably due to nicotine content and/or PG percent than the machine you're vaping it on.
