New Vaper trying to Quit Smoking

[chellie]

I can't imagine vaping at 90 watts. I started with an Ego/Ce4 and advanced from there. After 4 years I've finally gone over 20 watts.

Sounds like me. I actually went to about 23 watts. Usually 20 on a .5 to .8 coil. And I get a great vape!

Hi and Welcome-
Glad you signed on!

Thank you all for the great advice! I ended up making another purchase, the SnowWolf MFeng kit. I love it. I dont cough nearly as much unless Im chaining, and it gives me the hit that Im really looking for, and only mild coughing. I found DTL isnt a bother if I start the vape, and the last little bit of air I can get is through my nose, and not from the vape. That seems to give me the least likelyhood of coughing.

But I have noticed that my coughing produces crud, so Im thinking that maybe my cough isnt so much vape related, but more like my lungs chucking out the garbage from cigarettes. I am still smoking a couple cigarettes in a day, but not remotely close to the 2 packs a day I was smoking, now a pack lasts about 2.5 days, which was unheard of for me.

Once you get it figured out you can get way ahead if you can fight off shinyitis.

Hello all, new vaper here, trying to quit smoking, and in need of a little more help. My friend got me started with this, and recommended I get a Smok X-Priv, and an IJoy Limitless RDTA (both cause of a sale price, and the ability for the Smok to grow with me) which I did. Then, I went on a buying spree, cause while I sort of enjoy it, I am looking for something smoother/less harsh.

The problem I have, is that when I Vape DL, I end up having an annoying cough (more so than my smokers cough) on the exhale. Ive tried inhaling/exhaling slower, lowering the wattage, upping the wattage, and going from 6mg to 3mg juice.

Im currently using my X-Priv with a Crown 3 tank, at 90w and the airflow about 1/8th an inch open. Ive played with different airflows, and even though it whistles a little bit, it makes me cough the least.

Here is everything Ive currently purchased:
X-Priv 225w
Dovpo M VV 280w
Smok TFV12 Prince
UWell Crown 3
Freemax Fireluke Pro
IJoy Limitless RDTA (I got 2 by accident)
Uwell Valyrian
IJoy Cigpet ECO12
Bunch of PreMade Coils (80pcs set)
Cotton Bacon Prime

I know, I know, I bought too much stuff. Mostly it was because they were on sale, or came as recommendations from a couple friends, because Im having a hard time comfortably vaping.

Ive tried almost all of them except the FireLuke and the Limitless, Fireluke comes tomorrow, and the RDTA is more cause it was on sale, and for when I start building. The Cigpet just got too hot to use, so Im thinking it might not be compatible with the XPriv. The Valyrian was nice, but only at below 90w, which Ive heard will just boil juice and isnt good for the tank. The TFV12 Prince I couldnt get the airflow right, and somehow it leaked a lot for me, which I cant figure out where Im going wrong on that one.

I just need help trying to get a smoother vape feeling, less burn and hopefully no cough involved. I dont really care much about how huge my cloud is, and I want it to be discreet as far as the cloud goes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

OMG!!! How in the world did you purchase so much stuff??? I have a rule of thumb & that's start off low with your wattage & gradually in crease until you get to your sweet spot.Secondly make sure you have the correct coils & e-juice.I usually use aVG70/PG30 mix.I get great flavor & dense clouds.You have to play with your air flow.You ca also go to IJoy.com for more info & smok.com/Google these because you'll have replies & answers from other people.(MOB)

I had the same issues as you I found that if I added some menthol and used 80/20 VG/PG then the coughing is gone. Plus the menthol helps sooth my hammered throat and lungs. I use a 0.5 Ohm coil with an adjustable wattage mod set at 20W unless I really want more flavor from my juice then I go up to 35W. But I have to make sure I don't take to big of a hit when the wattage is that high. I also found for me that anything above 6mg of nicotine is too harsh. The other thing that helped was not trying to inhale it like a cigarette. I do not take in the vape as fast as I did with a cigarette. In doing this I found the I could enjoy the flavor a lot more and almost never cough. Sometimes I don't even inhale I just blow it back out through my nose.
