Strong throat hit with RBAs?

[withravenoushunger]

I'm using an AGI and IGO-L and they both have a very strong throat hit. A little too much. I didn't notice this with my Smoktech rda. I'm using silica wick and I also torched it. The strong throat hit is present with all my juices. The coil seems fine. No hotspots and nothing glows when it's fully saturated. Could it be the coil or type of wick?

Your air should be lined up with the coil.

Make sure the air hole is lined up with the coil perfectly as Phoneguy mentioned.

If you're on a variable device try lowering the power.

If you're on a mechanical, try throwing an extra coil on there to increase the ohms.



In general these things are beasts, even the cheapies and clones. I can throw 10-15 watts at my IGO-L @1.2 ohms and vape 100% VG after a cleaning to make sure there's no odd flavors present and it'll still choke me sometimes. I typically vape my dripper with super sweet fruity silly flavors that would normally destroy anything they touch so I usually turn down the Vamo to around 8-9 watts. Right now the dripper has Ande's Mints flavor I made last week

It's also why some people drill out the air hole, decrease the nic content in the juice, or raise the VG percentage.

Not just the position of coil to airhole but the height of that coil can affect throat hit. You want the airhole as close as possible to your coil.

it is also possible to reduce TH by increasing the lenght of the drip tip, i havent personally tried this but have heard it before.
