I appreciate everyone's advice! I can't believe how prices went down on mods since I was vaping before.
I bought a Pegasus mod and a eleaf pico. The pico was only 35 bucks! I was expecting to spend like $200 so this was a relief. I'm also considering getting a Cupti because Tia on Youtube said it was her favorite mod. I've been watching Youtube videos and reading the forums all week and I've really confused myself.
The Pico hasn't been delivered yet, but I have the Pegasus now and it's too powerful.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. My new eliquid hasn't arrived yet, but a bottle of Ultimo Custard 24mg eliquid came with the Pegasus from Vapor4Life. I also have a couple of very well-steeped glass bottles of Halo Prime and Belgian Cocoa 18mg (dated 2014) that I found in my old vape box. I also have some boxes of old 510 threaded cartos, so I decided to try out the mod. The carto, according to the Pegasus screen, is 1.33 ohms.
I set the wattage at 10 and this mod kicked like a mule and I was coughing like crazy. Really bad. I'm not a real heavy smoker, about 1/2 pack to 3/4 pack a day, depending on stress levels. I had the Ultimo custard 24mg eliquid in it with a 1.33 ohm carto. I turned it down to 5 watts and it was still too strong.
The mod came with a Triton tank, but since my new eliquid hasn't arrived yet, I didn't want to put in the stuff I have on hand. I don't know how hard it will be to clean the tank to change flavors.
Is it too strong because of the carto I'm using or is my eliquid too high in nicotine? Maybe it will be better when I use the tank?
I've got some lower mg ejuices coming from Mr. Eliquid and Vista Vapors in flavors I used to like (lemonade, watermelon, root beer, cotton candy). I'm getting a sample pack from Mr Eliquid, so I'm hoping there will be a flavor I like enough to fill the tank.
Can anyone please give me some tips or let me know what I'm doing wrong? I also tried a carto full of the old Halo Prime juice (18mg) and it actually still tasted good and fresh, but it was very strong and I was coughing.
I'm sorry for all the questions. I'm so out of the loop. Thank you so much. I really want to get off the cigarettes.
