hey guys :)
though i might as well ask here even though ive already started a thread on it. my first ecig arrived today, vaporfi pro L 2, running it at 1.5 ohms and around 3.6v and 18mg juice and the throat hit is a little to strong for me, especially on the exhale, and i get a raspy, kinda itchy, dry throat afterwards, im hoping that this is just the strength of the liquid being too high anf not that vaping is not for me, thought on this ?
Are you getting a strong peppery taste or spike feeling in the back of your throat? That's the nic. if it's really strong and tastes bad it might be too much for you. If you vape for a while and get that green nauseated feeling like the one you got when you started smoking it's the nic. Lighten up a little. Are you doing mouth to lung hits? or trying to do direct lung hits?

What is the VG/PG ratio. I can't vape over 70/30 or I get all choked up and a sore throat. Also it may be the nic. Do you have any 0 nic I remember you said something about DIYing. you can try diluting it a little
its a 50/50 ratio, and nah i havnt got any diy stuff yet, im considering getting some vg tommorrow and mixing it up with that to see if it vapes any smoother
when i get my diy stuff i will probably make it vg/pg 70/30 and start with 1mg nic and slowly work it up till i like it

First thing I would say, it's the juice :unsure:
I can't just try a sample hit at a vape shop and know if I personally am going to like that juice. I have to vape at least a half of tank to see how I feel about it.
And the VG / PG, some people bodies don't like PG some don't like VG.

Very possible Nic to high. possibly wicking or power issue. Kurt, are you smoker? If so, how heavy and how long?
Kit is a Rebranded Kanger Evod kit maybe dial coil 1.5ohm coils(5D)
Normally a decent starter. Did you get extra coil heads?
yeah i have extra coil heads, i was a smoker, i smoked about a pack a day for the last two years and a little lighter for the two years before then

Are you getting a strong peppery taste or spike feeling in the back of your throat? That's the nic. if it's really strong and tastes bad it might be too much for you.

Are you doing mouth to lung hits? or trying to do direct lung hits?
yeah its pretty peppery/raspy, mainly while i exhale, ive been doing mouth to lung hits

Slippery slope.
How many years do we get out of an OS with continual support and enhancements without additional investment. Considerations should be in place and if additional cost are involved, should be pre-disclosed.

SX Mini M Class
Firmware updates / feature additions - no added cost.
Incentive - Customer Loyalty

Yep, but the SXminiM is around $200 right off the jump -- these Xcubes are what, about $60-$80? Big diff! I could theoretically afford $60-$80 if I really wanted TC, but $200? Only if I win the lottery. I agree with Jseah that the .49 or .99 for extra features is quite reasonable, and if you don't want those features, then you don't have to pay for them.

thats one reason i want to try diy so i can try different nic strengths and vg/pg ratios and find out where exactly my perfect vape is, i cant just duck down to a vape store because theres none here :/

A rule of thumb sort of

24mg non filters camel lucky strike pallmall over a year

18 mg regular filters Marlboro, camel filters, Winston long term smoker

12 mg lights Marlboro, salem, camel or short term smoker

6 to 9 Ultra lights same brands occational smoker
is this for my setup or something similar ? because i feel like with something like the x cube 2 i will have to go as low as 3mg ?

When you get to the subohm or TC thing it's a whole new world. I vape 3 mg and have while posting here vaped like crazy and gotten the green feeling from it. Sub ohm tanks or dripping uses a lot more juice consequently you need a lot less nic.

Hi and welcome, im a newbie vaper too and have to say my EVOD does that thing at first i thought it was eliquid but then realised it happened because vapour was too hot from clicking that button for too long, try pulsing the button while dragging a hit.

Go to inbox and see the box by the title or sender click in it you can go down the list clicking them off and when you do you should get a window asking if you wan to leave the conversation. say yes. Heres a little hint start at the last page and work forward you are more apt to not want or need the info in the oldest ones. :D
