Plume veil qurstion

[Yoshipooter]

Hi guys, got another question for you. I just recently purchased a plume veil v 1.5 with a wide bore tip and am vaping on Ben johnson's Cream flavor. The problem is it's causing me to cough violently every time I inhale. my question is, is it supposed to do that or is it the juice? I do drink lots of water while vaping so I know my throat isn't dry, so what's the deal?

Sometimes it's the nic content ,the blend itself, or it could be you , take the topcap off and check for hotspots, btw what juice blend and build are you running

 

[dc99]

Its most likely the blend. I believe there blend is 50/50. Dripping lends itself better to higher VG juice although I know people that can drip 50/50. I personally cant do more than 6mg of nic and almost no PG. It actually hurts my throat. Try some max VG juice

 

[readeuler]

It shouldn't make you cough - the plume is actually the smoothest RDA I own.

Is this your first rebuildable? What are you putting the plume veil on, and what's the resistance? Nic and PG level of juice might be helpful, but if it's your first rebuildable....

I've found that you want the coils extremely close to the air holes and slightly more elevated than them, in order to get a smooth hit

Also, if you don't have the screws tight enough, you could get a hot leg that will give you harsh burnt taste.

How does it taste? That's the first key to sorting out issues like this (other than knowing what your resistance is, and doing a test burn with the head open so you can see that the coils are heating evenly).

If a very small "sip" still tastes harsh, then you're probably burning your juice. If a small sip tastes fine, it could certainly be the amount of PG, or the nic strength, or perhaps you're just not used to the larger amounts of vapor you can get from a dripper.

I'm not sure about the ohms, as the shop I frequent built it for me lol. Im running it on a turtle ship v2 with dual 26g coils. Technically, no it's not my first rebuildable as I started with a kayf in lite and rebuilt it numerous times, but never had a problem with coughing.

 

[Yoshipooter]

Sorry, meant kayfun lite lol

You really need to know the ohms of your coils.

You said you were using a wide bore tip on the Plume Veil, are you direct lung inhaling?

 

[Yoshipooter]

I'm planning on getting an ohm reader soon so I can accurately measure it. I don't think I am direct lung inhaling.

 

[Yoshipooter]

I fixed it, guys so thank you all for your help

Woohoo!!
I'm curious though, what was the issue?

And please do get yourself an ohm meter.

 

[Davehkiin]

Try not 'Hoofing' in the inhale.

High nicotine or PG content can cause this nasty throat hit, especially on something like a plumeviel. Try some Mouth to Lung hits (Much like a cigarette) and see how that goes. If that works it could be the content as many previous user had mentioned.

Mix in some 100% VG and dilute to your liking.

Another question for you all, im using a 26g wire on a plume veil rba. My question is how high of an ohm can i make it before its too dangerous? I vape it pretty much every day and right now its mostly micro coils but id like to go a little bigger (makes getting the cotton go through easier). I usually do about six wraps, sometimes 7 but never more than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

[Bunnykiller]

hmmm new to RBA's?
first thing to do is get an ohm meter!
the part to worry about is how low the resistance can go before it becomes an issue...
know what battery you have
learn ohms law
and dont go below .25 ohms ( good safety factor)
Read Baditudes blog on batteries
ask all the questions you can....
be Safe
and when ever you have someone build a coil for you, ask them what the ohms are... and have them use a ohm meter to verify it...

 

[Bunnykiller]

the bigger the coil the more ohms it has making it safer/easier on the battery...

 

[Yoshipooter]

Thanks guys! Yes, im still kida new to rba's, recently switching from the kayfun lite. Right now, Im running an 18650 sony vct4 2100mAH 3.7 volt.Whats usually the lowest you can go on thankind of battery?

 

[BOX MOD LYFE]

A .20 ohm build is pushing about 22amps, and I personally wouldn't ever build lower than that. I prefer regulated devices so I don't have to worry as much as a mech user, but that is my preference. You really have to read up on all of this, as your turtleship v2 could literally blast off!

 

[Withdrewandi]

Scary scary scary

 

[Yoshipooter]

is .20 the highest one would take it? i saw a youtube video done by a guy who was doing coil building and he was talking about the different gauges of wire and he said that the 26 usually gets about .75 omhs? is that normal?

That vct4 is a 30a continuous battery.
Most people use only 80% or so of the available max amperage to leave as a safety buffer
.20 ohm in that case would be about as high as most would be comfortable taking it.

As far as 26g wire, the ohms it reads out at depend on the amount of wraps, inside diameter of your coil, and whether it's single/dual/parallel/twisted, etc.
I really suggest you grab yourself a meter, and visit a site like SteamEngine
