rba stomach troubles

[KuhnDog]

Hi all I purchased a phoenix rba built a coil and all was well for a few minutes.then it started making me very queasy.so I just figured it wasn't for me.well I decided to give it another go and sunk some money and time into a jonboy lavagen.built up a coil.using silica and kanthal and bam decent vapor but still makes me queasy.wat am I doin wrong and has anyone else had this happen? Every rba I try does it to me.

It could be the nic hitting you harder. I heard that it happens with gennies and a lot of people drop their nic levels because of it. I don't know if the same is true for drippers.

+1 on the above. Get some VG at wal mart and cut down a small bit of liquid in nic mg and see if that's it. Good luck.

When I used my first rebuildable it smoked like a diesel stack, I had to cut down my nic %

I read several saying the same thing, alot cut the nic in half!

I have an AGA-T2 sitting here but been busy doing other things and havent got a descent coil made for it yet

With my rba, it hits my throat like a truck!! Don't know what's going on with that? I don't get dizzy or anything from the nic but my throat hits are a bit painful rather than enjoyable. Anybody know why that's happening?

Got your air hole aligned perfectly right on where the wick is? they say any amount of movement off the direct line of wick gives you more throat hit

Threads like this make me want an RBA I am afraid I would end up spending a hundred bux by the time I bought everything under the sun to rebuild it and I am afraid I will just end up back with my trusty carto tanks again like I did with the vivi nova.

Lol you too? Well I got a surprisingly large amount back from the Gov in my income tax... So I went wild... Have 3 RBA's coming along with about 300 feet of Kanthal, 40 feet of wick, and a bunch of SS Mesh, and lots, and lot's of other things... So hopefully I'm set for a while, still need to order a years worth of nic-quid... Hoping something goes on sale soon. That is all.

The coil is sitting right above the air hole.

This definitely sounds like more nic than you're used to.

The suggestion to get some Glycerin from Walmart is a good idea. Drip the Glycerin on top of what you've been dripping, 2:1 without flooding. If that doesn't work, try 3:1, and so on.

Sometimes things just don't work out. My friend really wanted to vape but something was giving him headaches... so he just had to quit. If your body is telling you something, why fight it? Do you get queasiness from anything other type of vaping other than vaping on genesis attys?

Just saw this. Hmmm. So you only had problems after using RBA?

 

[Thrasher]

the amount of vapor i believe.
just too much and maybe cutting down the oxygen in your lungs to the point of uneasyness. it may be a PG saturation thing as well if high in pg them a massive cloud of it drowning out the air in your draw. take smaller drags or change to different mix and see if that helps.

also try dropping voltage a touch to cool it off a bit.


most of the real reason to switch to an rba is the better nic hit as well as flavor, if your fine with something else i dont see a real benefit to vaping 0 in a rba or geni. i can get the same massive clouds from a nova, but not the same nic feeling.

I think the dizzyness could be because your wick is burning and youre inhaling that? I had and still sometimes have that issue and also with the new coils, i can taste that as well. Try heating up the coil with a lighter for a bit to possibly burn off some of the oils that were used to polish the coil. That helps a bit for me with a new coil. I still do get those ruff throat hits though but i think its from the coil being to hot and im just getting a bunch of heat rather than vapor.
