Help! Burning throat

[silkyfurz]

Just got my first 5v mod, which I love so far. BUT - it's burning my throat bad enough that I had to put it aside. Anybody know what happened or if I can do something to fix it?

ive heard of higher power making you have a harder throat hit...maybe just add some more vg to your mix?

I am going thru the same thing...I just messed around with different set ups...attys, carts, and cartos...I think I am happy w/ a 510 carto on my 5v right now.. I know it's important to keep whatever you use wet....

You can try breathing it in your mouth first then inhale into your lungs. I get no throat hit when vaping like that. Other then that like grim said, more VG less PG will smooth it out some.

HV mods have a learning curve all their own-- I think VG will help, but what atty are you using (HV, standard), how long of a draw do you take, are you dripping? Once you settle in to 5V should be no prob!

I was having the same problem with my new mod...throat burned like a #@#%...after some trial and error, I quickly figured out that I wasn't keeping the atty wet enough. I switched to dripping which solved the problem for me. Always enough juice to hear the atty gurgle/crackle when I fire it.

I too had problems with 5v initially, i find that by flooding the atty(not to the point where it leaks ya), i get nice and overall cooler vapor and easier on the throat.
However this sorts of defeats the purpose for some because the atty is flooded and they vapor produced will be lesser in terms of performance.

at this point of time i find my fav vape to be around 4.5v with a variable. 5v is too harsh for myself.

it is said people with normal PVs would take 5 sec draws and when converted to 5v Shorter and faster draws would be of somewhat the same volume. I find this very true.

End of the day, i think you should try out different configurations like what debb did. Hope you find your fave config soon.

5v just ain't for everyone, different people different tolerance/preference level.

Again - thanks! What would I do without y'all? I was wondering if changing the juice ratio might help. I just ordered a batch from Backwoods, so maybe I can catch Don before he mixes my stuff.

I'm using HV atty with flat tip carts. I'd love to find some carts that have Really flat tips that are as flat as my joye 302. These aren't quite flat enough to carry around in my teeth (on the rivas and 510s, not the GLV)

Love you guys!

silky - the 901 carts fit the 510 atties (snug actually but thats a plus as the atty heat makes the 510 carts go baggy over time usually) and you can get those in super thin flat tips (too thin for me its like having a piece of paper between my lips lol)

and yeah to sum it up your best bet would be to add some more vg to your mix to ease it out, and like what was said up there id drip rather then just hit off the cart if your doing that. on a 510 atty 3 drops is more then enough to kick it for a bit
