Nicotine being too high is my first guess. If you have a lot of juice in a higher nic, you can buy the same flavor in a zero nic and combined equally it will cut the nicotine level in half. PG can also contribute to throat hit.

Also make certain you prime the coils before use. I usually put a few drops down the top of the coil onto the cotton, couple on the sides of the coil, fill tank and let it sit for a few minutes. The first draws I take are unpowered to help with wicking.

6mg and I'm not sure what cuttwood VG/pg ratio is
I would still venture to say it's the nic level. The TFV4 will consume juice at twice the rate of the Subtank so you're getting twice the nic. I'd suggest cutting the nic to 3 mg at the very least.

I was told 6mg is a decent amount to get away from smoking cigarettes. So far I've done good just afraid if I go to a lower mg I will go back to smoking

With the volumn of juice the TFV goes thru it should still be effective to keep you off the cigs. Look at it this way... 2 times juice consumption (2 X 6 = 12) doubles the nic in the juice (harshness). Cutting it to 3 mg will still keep you at the same 6mg consumption in the TFV4.

6 mg in a cheap eGo vape would probably have you craving cigs. 6 in the Subtank keeps you off the cigs (balance). 6 in the TFV4 is harsh (too much). The gear is just as important in figuring out the nic level as any thing else.

It's either the nic or a bad coil, and since you primed it I will go with the nic level.

So do a 50/50 mixture with the 0mg. And that would get me to 3mg. Makes sense.Sounds good I'll give it a shot

I use the quad coils@ 90w
First off you're running more watts than your other device was even capable of which is the first part of what might be your problem! Second you're using a HUGE coil that the airflow is massive & I didn't really like! To start off with that tank you might want to try the triple coil or dual clapton coil at around 60 or 70w & move up from there! Slowly raise or lower your watts 'til you get the vape for you! when I started with the TFV4 that's what I did & now I'm vaping the octo-claptons @ 100+ watts with 6mg & loving it! Remember just because you have a 200w device doesn't mean you'll ever be able to vape there! I have an RX200 & have only used it once at 155w & never anything above, because it's just too hot for me.:headbang:

That could be your problem right there; ("90Watts") The Coil might not be able to handle that amount of power without burnt hits:) Try dialing it back to about 75 or 65
+1 but it's also the config of the quad

it's like 7mm direct to the drip tip!
The triple

are more indirect!
