New Experience

[Edwin Betz]

Just got done building my first build on the Limitless Gold RDTA. coils were no problem, but I ran into a little trouble trying to figure out how much cotton bacon to use. Took me three tries to finally get it wicked. After wetting the cotton and filling the tank, I had mass clouds with some 50/50 Cotton Candy 24mg. After hitting it 3 or 4 times, my chest was pounding and I felt like I was going to throw up. I'm thinking I need to lower my nicotine level. What do you all think? I'm just guessing. I was only running 55w. A little advice would really help me here.

Yes, and put the vacuum away before someone trips over it.

Ok...putting it away already...

I got that feeling last night. Really flooded my RTA, So I vaped like a madman to dry it up some and got the weak, shaky feeling.

Yeah that looks like a lot of vapor... Cut it down to 3mg nic and you might like it. Welcome to flavor country. What's your coil resistance?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Drop the nic to 6 ~ 3 mg/ml.

.15 ohms is the coil resistance.

 

[bombastinator]

umm.. I'm going to go with "YES!". standard DL nic level is 3-6mg/ml

 

[uthinkofsomething]

.15 ohms is the coil resistance.

You've got to remember you are getting a lot of vapor all at once so you are getting a lot of nicotine. I get a bit sick in the mornings if I sit around and vape without eating something. 3mg in a heavy hitter is like 24 in a mouth to lung tank if you want it to be.

 

[Cas002]

Yeah, your nic is way high for 0.15 ohms fat dual coils and I would follow the advice of @Topwater Elvis and get at or below 6mg. I vape around 1-2% nic and with 10ml juice per day that is the right level for me. With those fat dual coils you can expect to be refilling your tank often. Nice job on your first build! Welcome to ECF!

For most 24mg is alot of nic for that wattage and dtl vaping, so I would definitely look into cutting that at least in half...hard to really see in that pic and not familiar with that tank, but if the airflow is coming underneath the coil, your coils could be slightly to high which can create a slightly harsher hit

Merged duplicate threads.
Wowzer those are some massive pics, took forever to load into view.

24mg at .15 ?
I'd be sweating and nauseous too !
Lower your nic

 

[suprtrkr]

Definitely. Lower it right down, like cut by 4-8x. You should be in the 3-6ish range at that resistance range. If you're a recent quitter and there is big risk of going back to the smokes because you're not getting enough nic, fine: keep it a bit higher until you get over the cravings. But definitely: 24 is way too high for that rig. The symptoms you are suffering are classic signs of nic poisoning. When that happens, cut back somehow. Either recoil higher and cut your wattage, or use lower nic juice.
