Need Help with my RTA regarding throat hit?

[trio1989]

i have switched to vaping an RTA the eleaf lemo to be precise but i am getting more and more fustrated by the day... i literally hate throat hit! i would prefer non if i could.. i have tried everything to know success... i am currently vaping a 1.6 ohm 3mm ID coil with koh gen do cotton nic level is 3mg and pg vg ratio is 80 vg- 20 pg with 15% of the pg being the flavour i also tried 10% flavour down to 5% and it didnt change a thing.. i have tried 1mg nic did not make a difference also changed pg/vg supplier several times it changed nothing.. tried max airflow tried lung hits tried mouth to lung closed airflow also tried tons of different flavours no difference... the feeling is like a sharp niggle in my throat when i take a draw which makes me cough everytime also its not the wicking as tried tight wicking medium wicking and loose wicking no luck also tried raising the coil futher from the airflow and as close as i can get it also change wattage higher and lower and yes i have made sure the coil is over the airflow hole..what the hell am i doing wrong? can anybody give me some advice before i throw it in the bin and go back to clearos?

That wouldn't be throat hit since you've tried 0mg and you still get the "throat" hit. Maybe the LEMO you received was a lemon, or maybe the design of the LEMO just isn't for you.

I've had a similar experience with the RSBT hybrid. No matter how I coil or wick it, it always gives me a harsh hit. I've no problems with other RTAs. So I've decided that it's just not for me.

So I would suggest trying out another RTA to try.

How far do you have the coil off the air hole? Move it closer and it should reduce the THI keep mine as close as possible, prefer a cooler vape with a light TH.

what ohm coil and gauge kanthal are you using and what wattage?

 

[Marc411]

I use 27ga Kanthal and normally set mine up right around 1.4 ohms, I believe it's 9 wraps on a 3mm mandrel.

 

[trio1989]

i am thinking of building a coil to counteract all of this i am going for vaping between 10-12 watts with 30 gauge kanthal A1.. what ohms do you think would give a coolish vape with nearly no throat hit all but still produces good smooth flavour?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP8rAb39LtY... on this video he states that 30-32 gauge A1 has less throat hit than 27 and 28... i am vaping 26-27 gauge that is probably my downfall... time to order some 30 and 32 gauge think im gna wrap it at 1.8-2.0 ohms and fingers crossed it makes a difference
