ohm

Hey everyone...cant put my finger on this,
just changed coils on my zen and did to about .5 ohm using .8 ribbon which i always used,
the did is new it was properly washed...using juice i always use it seems to make my throat hurt...im not tryin to be funny...seriously...
i was looking for hidden hotspots, seems like i worked out every little kink in that coil but still, it feels a bit harsh--
anyone wanna chime in on this and give me potential reasons?
was it cuz i chain vaped yesterday with hidden hotspots?
is it because the hits are so much harder at .5 ohm? i was using about 0.9- 1.2 ohm coils up to yesterday?
annoying....

I'm no guru, but yes, I think you're going to get hotter vapor from the .5 ohm. You must be using an unprotected mod. Most protected devices won't let you go that low.

yeah i use mechs....poldiac, legacy, zen sidewinder, etc...and its the first time i went down to such low ohms (.5)...maybe its just not for me, ima give it one more day and if my throat keeps feelin crappy ima recoil using .5 ribbon instead of .8 (go back to .9-1ohm)...
im not losing flavor at .5 its just hurting.....???????

another important point: usually i vape 24mg...since i went down to .5-.6 ohm i bought same juices in 18mg and my throat started hurting....im kinda baffled on this- could it just be the intensity of the vapor? or the breaking in period this time was harsh cuz i missed an edge of a hotspot for a few hours, didnt notice it due to the massive amounts of vapor?
anyone?

If its not the nic, then it has to be the wire and your set up. A pic of what you are running would help folks give you some suggestions.

It was the coil....there was still a small lurking chain vape hotspot that was adding harshness...i just worked out all the kinks and its smooth sailing....still i gotta get used to the .5ohm...i guess its a drastically different vape than .9ohm....much warmer and megatons of vapor....slowly gettin used to it...

18mg on these kind of setups is still pretty high. it's ok for cartos but with the kind of hardware you have you're getting serious hits of nic...

 

[evgeny131]

ok...i never thought of it like that before....that even 18 is too strong...so...i went back to .7 ohm put in a solid fat wick...the flavor is unreal, no hotstpots, still a tad too warm for me, but really a phenominal vape: pic of coil and wick setup attached:lemme know your thoughts...

now i changed to solid fatter wicks and recoiled, seemed to have made a drastic difference toward a smoother warmer flavorful vape....

heres another pic of my sidewinder new setup been workin last 2 days couldnt address this...thx for all your advice- also a solid wick now, fatter, wrapped better .8ribbbon kanthal....dont know ohms, i would assume based on the did being .7 that this is about .5-.6, the wick hole is a bit smaller on the sidewinder
