Just vaped today for the first time and have a question

[pesky_human]

My Precise + 18350 arrived in the mail today, the last piece of kit I was waiting for. I hooked it up with a COV 1.5 dual coil atty, a Super T drip tip, and went about priming the atty with plenty of juice. Started with a 10 drops and the first drag nearly knocked me on my ... - it was incredibly harsh and hot. I kept adding juice in small amounts and finally have it to where it is producing a good amount of vapor. The only thing is that there is still a relatively strong sting at the back of my throat with each toot.

I smoked Newports and American Spirit full flavor menthols for 15 years, so the amount of bite is rather surprising.

Is this something with my particular setup, or is it just something that I will need to get used to?

Thanks, and happy holidays.

It could be your eliquid ~ what strength and type are you using?

Try vaping differently than you smoked. Let the vape sit in your mouth for a second before you inhale. That will cool the vape down some.

Best wishes!!

Just stick with it...you won't be sorry

Did you blow the primer juice out of the Atty? That has a nasty kick. The flavor is a nother possibility if cinnamon, clove menthol, the nic level or the way your vaping. Draw slowly into your mouth for 5 seconds, stop, inhale. That might help too.

Also keep drinking water!

Thanks for the responses! Vaping Pink Spot Lime Drop 24mg. I am a pretty heavy smoker so that's why I went with the high nic level. Sorry I should have posted that in the OP.

24mg should be good. That is what I use. Maybe a different flavor would be better, and drink a lot of water.

Atomizers can take a while to break in and until they do it can be pretty harsh. Take smaller hits for a while and maybe it'll settle down. 1.5's tend to run pretty hot anyway so if it doesn't mellow out think about ordering a 1.7 or so.

Merry christmas indeed!First vape?jumped in with both feet!Try a 2ohm atomiser,it'll cool things down some from the 1.5.

Dual coil atty's at 1.5ohm are relatively warm. I love them but being new to this, it may take you some time to get used to it. Congrats on getting a mod. You picked a well made one. You might want to step up on the ohm rating and lower your nic level. I vape 18mg all day, every day like a puffing steam engine.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. For those that don't celebrate Christmas, have a wonderful holiday season.

i find the bigger the hole in my driptip the more of the throat irritation i get, until i get used to it, i actually kind of like the little rubber tips that come on boge cartos......maybe a drip tip with a smaller hole till you get used to vaping....or maybe i have had too much christmas cheer tonight, i take no responsibility for any post from this point on

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yes I agree you may want to step down your Nic a bit because with Mods you got a lot more power under the hood thus translating into a stronger vape. Many vapers switching to Mods have found they have to notch down their Nic. Also the 1.5 will burn very warm and it may also be a good idea to go up to 2.0 ohm. At least, aside from this minor issue, you are vaping up a storm. Remember it's very important to drink lottsa water. The vapor comes from our bodies and not the juice and dehydration is a common issue with new vapers.
Happy Vaping, Vapoor.

You bought a really nice set-up!

Now you just have to get used to vaping...

Do you direct lung inhale or mouth then lung?

 

[melloyello]

i also this you might need to lower the nic level and as was mentioned. maybe go up to 2.0ohm from your current 1.5.

Welcome Pesky_Human!

 

[sandybeach]

I found that the first two days, my throat hurt from vaping. After that it was smooth sailing! Good luck

 

[jameth]

wow, hell of a way to start out!

+1 for a higher resistance attomizer or cartomizer

I like 2.0 to 2.5 myself.
