New member :D , just got my kit and I feel like i need some help

[octaner]

hey guys, I just got my kit its a custom one
4 stardust V3
2 joye twist
charger and what not.

I am trying the coffee flavor it has nicotine inside it, I think it worked up to be 18mg I normally smoke 12mg.

now the problem I feel like i am getting head spins and the drag feels very scratchy on the way down and after. I am hitting it on 3.2 volts

would love some help

Sounds like to much nic to me. You could buy some PG or VG and mix it down.

 

[octaner]

I think its 70% PG 30% VG

 

[Ictinike]

Could be a possible allergic reaction to the PG.. Luckily I don't have such but many people do.

Search the forums or someone will list you some threads about it. If that happens to be the case for you, you'll have to dilute with VG until you find that comfortable level or go 100% vg; again many to do that.

Best of luck and sorry I couldn't link anything this second but saw your thread just as I told myself to quit vaping, reading about vaping and go and eat something!

Cheers

[octaner]

why would you want to quit ? I might try a different flavor. or maybe its to much nic

 

[Petej]

Sounds like to much Nic to me as well. Cut it with some VG and see what that does.

Not an expert but it sounds like too much Nicotine. What the other poster meant is to cut your 18mg juice with some lower Nicotine juice, i.e. a 6mg to bring the combined Nicotine down to 12mg or less.

Your 18mg may be a correct level for you also but your just hitting it too much.

I have only tried it like 5 times and then I had to change the juice it was not that good and i thought maybe that's why. I just feel like i cant breath it in its to strong but still I have had 18mg smokes before and i didn't like them so, maybe its to strong.

with a star dust v3 what volt should i be doing?

 

[user808a]

Voltage is a users preference but I heard that 8 watts is the sweet spot for most.

~8 watts is
3.8V @ 1.8 ohm
4.2V @ 2.2 ohm
4.4V @ 2.4 ohm
4.75V @ 2.8 ohm

Do you know the resistance of the stardust?

Too much nicotine can lead to head spins.

I have a dekang coffee juice that has the same pg/vg/nic as my other juices and it feels very dry/scratchy on my throat compared to the others. I had to mix the coffee with chocolate or vanilla or something else to smooth it out.

I find 100% pg drys my mouth out very quickly and too much vg even 50/50 makes my lungs itch and feel heavy.

Another thought to throw out here: vaping is different from smoking. Slowly draw the vapor into your mouth (about the count of five). Either exhale through the nose or nose and mouth both. Another way, do the same draw as stated before then inhale to the lungs slowly. It takes some practice to get the "style" of vaping that is comfortable for you. I can't do a straight inhale to the lungs, very uncomfortable. First thing in the morning? No lung inhale at all, hurts too much. For first thing in the morning vaping, French inhale works for me.

To the OP:

suggestion--next order, go down to a 60/40 mix, and a nicotine level of about 14mg. Also, I would recommend the mini ViVi Novas over the Stardusts; I used the Stardust before trying the ViVi Novas--BIG difference, to me. Also, Robino1 is right about the difference between vaping and smoking.

I was going to say something similar....

I can't do straight inhalation, period. Hurts too much and produces to much coughing.

drink lots of water. vaping tends to dry you out a bit. i had the same dry throat thing at first too.

 

[klynnn]

I never had much luck with the stardusts either, but am hooked on the nova.

 

[Petej]

I like my Nova better than my stardusts. My stardusts live on the my 650 Mah eGo's (non VV) and the Nova lives on the eGo twist.

I tried my stardusts (I have one, and my GF has one) on the Twist and I think my Resistance is too low with those (~1.4 ohm) and I get some rather.....funky flavors. I think with the high resistance head, I may have better results...

 

[octaner]

I have got the mini nova as well i got the twist x 2 5 stardust v3 and 1 mini nova. how are you meant to smoke it then lol i tried what you said but its hard to understand

I am praying that, i will love vaping i need it. hope adding some vg to the ones i have now will help

 

[octaner]

I think i am getting how to do it. there is a kind of way you have to smoke it and its not as harsh.

Think about how you suck on a straw.....but hold the liquid in your mouth? Similar to that with vaping. Slowly "suck" the vapor into your mouth. Try counting to three while doing that (just did the five and about started coughing LOL) open your mouth and breath in both air and the vapor that is in your mouth. If that is still to harsh, try a lower count.

 

[Robino1]

I'm not going anywhere.

Most of your nic intake is actually absorbed through your mouth and nasal passages.
