Whats up guys!

I'm new to vaping; bought my kanger subox mini a week ago.

Been smoking for 6 years now and I haven't smoked a stick since i got my mod.

Problem is that I can't get a close enough throat hit as my Winston and I chain vape it, switching between 0 and 6 mg nicotine.

I refill my tank 2- 3 times a day. Is this normal?

Hope to learn more from you guys !

Hi @Obsync and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your journey. Throat hit is determined by two main issues in vape, PG level and nicotine level. The higher the PG or nic and the more throat hit you will get. Refilling a Subtank 2 or 3 times a day is normal for some and not for others.

The important issue is that you get enough nicotine to where you don't crave the cigs. Since you haven't had a cig in 6 days I'd say you're probably good on your nic level (guessing between a 6 and zero nic 3 might be your sweet spot in nicotine).

If you buy juice a little higher in PG you'll get more throat hit. I'm guessing whomever helped you find the Subbox also told you to get high vg or max vg juice. I wouldn't change both the nic and the pg/vg, start by upping the pg and keep the same nic. It could be that higher pg and lower nic is your sweet spot. (50/50 or 60pg/40vg juice at 3mg nic is your sweet spot in juice)

Good luck in your vape journey.

Hi and welcome. My guess is you do direct lung inhale with that set-up right?
It's a bit harder to get a decent throat hit with direct lung.
With Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) inhale you get more throat hit. But the Subtank is not a very MTL-friendly tank because the airflow is still too open for that even when only the 1 hole is open (at least to my liking).
you can probably try with 1.2 coils and restrict the airflow even more with a narrow drip tip.
