Newer to vaping - need help with Sigelei 75w TC and Artic tank

[bepleyva]

Greetings,

I have a Sigelei 75w TC unit and the tank my local vape shop recommended was the Horizon Tech Arctic with nickel coils for temp control. Well I'm having a very rough time with harsh throat hit. I've tried every setting under the sun. It was recommended to use at 450 degress at 40 watts. I've turned it down to 22 watts and still having throat hit.

I'm using 70VG/30PG 6mg nic juice. I came from using an evic-vt with the same juice working perfectly so I know it's not the juice.

Is there a setting someone could recommend? Or is it just that the tank is not the right fit for me?

Kinda lost on where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi @bepleyva and welcome to the forum. I don't know what tank you were using on the Evic, nor it's coils ohms. If you have taken a sizable drop in ohms then the issue is probably too much nicotine in the juice. Other than that "possible" issue all I can do is bump for an answer. It would help the next person if you listed what the coil size was in both the old and new tanks.

howdy! and welcome!

what is the coil's ohm rating? does it taste burned at all?

 

[bepleyva]

It's temp control so using the nickel coils....which is the same as I used before. 0.3 ohm. No it doesn't taste burnt.

 

[bepleyva]

My apologies.....Pure Nickel 200 coils.....0.2 ohms. Rated for 20-80 watts and 212 farenheit to 572

i have a pair of arctics, but have not used the nickel coils - kanthal coils work amazingly well in it, only real drawback is small tank capacity and it drinks some juice in wattage mode... is it possible mod is mis-reading resistance? only nickel coils i know of for arctic are a .2 ohm coil, but not sure that would make a major difference in throat hit, especially if you are using same juice as you were on evic

 

[bepleyva]

And I was using the ego mega before

 

[dcfluegel]

lol - okay - that answers that

The mod shows .29 ohm.....but I'm not sure how to adjust that.

Are you saying I should use the BTC .5ohm coil with it rated for 20W-40W???

[dcfluegel]

not necessarily, if TC is what you are after... but i have had good experiences on the arctic with the .2 ohm and the .5 ohm kanthal coils - not sure why the ni200 coil would not be acting right... I have the sig's big brother (150w TC box) and it has been pretty well behaved in both wattage and tc modes, though the only tc tank/ coil setup i have used on it was the freemax starre pro with a ni200 coil

 

[bepleyva]

I'll keep tweeking and see what I can figure out. Seems far more complicated than it should be to be honest.

 

[dcfluegel]

fwiw, part of the vape thing for me has been getting things dialed in - figuring out what works for me

don't get discouraged - you'll get it sorted - and i am betting some other folks will weigh in on this too and may be able to offer more insight/ assistance

 

[bepleyva]

Thanks man I apprecite your help! Going to the vape shop tomorrow just in case or perhaps someone here has a similar setup and can respond with some suggestions.

I have the arctic but havn't tried tc yet. It was harsh using straight tobacco at 18 mg so i started cutting it 50 50 with glycerin to make it 9 mg and it sorted it . My device only go's upto 36 watts and thats what i vape at on the BTDC 0.5 ohm coils. Good luck hope you get it sorted.
