jaw hurts!

[xzavier1985]

Hey guys, Ive been vaping now for about a week and it seems like i'm running into more and more problems. Today my jaw is hurting pretty bad because i'm trying to get a good draw but can't seem to do so. I can't even take a hard draw anymore. only very lightly so i don't add to the damage. just wonderin if anyone else has experienced this particular problem.

This is gonna sound silly, but I did this yesterday..../blush

Are you accidentally covering over the hole in the atomizer so you aren't able to take a smooth easy draw? It's amazing how much difference one little hole makes...hehe I was all confused as to why I suddenly couldn't vape at ALL when it had been going so smoothly......

Yeah I did this I'm a dummy sometimes!

I do like to cover one of the holes where the battery meets the atomizer. i feel that it produces alot more vapor. if i use the ecig without the tape i feel i have to suck twice as hard to get the same amount of vape.

Give it one quick primer puff to heat the atomizer, then a nice slow 3-6 second drag, you should get a good hit with the hole left uncovered.

If you are drawing so hard that it hurts your jaw, you are not getting the throat hit expereince you got from analog cigarettes. I understand your need. To me, vaping an e-cig is like sucking on an ultra-light analog and it was certainly not meeting my expectations.

If you are not a DIY-type person willing to build your own high-voltage vaping device, then I highly recommend anything by Zi Moshi (fourm member secondsonxxx), a Screwdriver (made by forum member trog) or a GG (made by a Grecian forum member). These devices have higher capacity batteries, connections for penstyle or 901 atomizers, manual switches and outstanding throat hit. Though I have not personally used any of the mentioned devices, I did build a few 6v modified battery packs and can say with conviction that this is what vaping should have been...Wailting for wv2win to chime in. He is such a fanboy, but oh so correct.

I agree with breakfastchef, all good points. Before I got a Screwdriver, I used a 901 and felt the throat hit was very inconsistent. So I would hold my finger over the atomizer hole for a second or two, then let up and continue to inhale. This did provide better throat hit because it heated up the atomizer a little like a manual switch device like the Screwdriver or breakfastchef's mod does. But like you, my jaw sometimes got tired because it was harder to inhale. A manual switch PV with a bigger battery will solve your issues. At least it did for me and is well supported by members on this forum.

Good luck and keep experimenting!

I am also new to vaping and have been doing it for about 4 days now and have the jaw pain as well. I think it is just an adjustment stage. The primer puff has worked great for me and everything is getting smoother now that I am starting to get used to the change.

It's just like your wrist hurting when you got your first computer with a mouse.

Oh, crap! I think I just opened this up to 100 "wrist hurting" jokes.
