Throat burn.

[DoubleDecker]

Using 70vg 30pg blend. 1.2 ohm single coil silica wick. Sony vtc4 1200 mah battery 4.1v.

New to using a mech mod. But not my first time vaping with it. Used to decent clouds from my protank build. Mech mod clouds aren't that much bigger.

Just wondering what could be causing the slight burning sensation in the back of my throat??

Too much nicotine now that you're using a different mod? Maybe try a lower concentration.

I'm going to say that a 1.2 ohm coil at 4.1v might be too hot.

Only using 6mg.

1.2 ohm is more than safe to use with the battery I am running. But, I guess that might be it.

If you were at .3-.5ohms, or anywhere around there, you would notice a huge improvement in clouds.

Throat hit can depend on many factors. Your inhale technique, your coil build, too much or too little cotton or wick, not enough airflow, etc.

Of course I'm just making assumptions. Hope you figure it out!

I'm not so much thinking about safety, because 1.2 ohm isn't super low to use with a mech mod, but it might be over-heating your juice and coil/wick. 1.2 ohms at 4.1v is, what, around 14 watts? That's pretty hot for most juices.

That's interesting. The last goop I burned was around 13.5 watts. Didn't seem to have an issue. So maybe I need to get some different goop to burn.

Maybe. Different juices have different tolerances for heat. Also, if this is a new juice for you, it might just be the flavor that's making your throat burn.

when i smoke high vg mixes i get the same, i went with more pg in my mix and added 1% saline to all mixes and it has really helped

Here's what I think: if you're getting throat burn it's likely that your coil has hot spots or is burning the wicking material. It will burn the wicking material if it doesn't have enough ejuice on it. Solution: experiment with wicking techniques to keep the coil juiced and learn to know when it's getting ready to run dry.

Hot spots: don't get this much on a traditional dripper but you chould check for it anyway. with the coil fully juiced and the cap off, fire the coils and gently blow across the atty to blow the vape away. You're looking for any redness on the coil (where the wicking isn't touching) or on the 'legs' of the coil.

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

+1 for hot spot issues as a potential.

Also, are you finding that you're going through more juice (per unit of vaping time, not overall) than before? This often happens when switching to a new, more efficient build - you get more juice atomized per draw. This means more nic per draw, and could be the source of the increase TH. Try backing off on the nic as a test if you can.

Sounds to me like air flow problems.

How large are the airflow holes on the atty you're using? I started with an igo w that comes stock with barely a pinhole for airflow, and it was harsh as hell. Drilled it out to a couple mm's and it's been great since.

Also are you making sure the airflow is hitting the coil dead on? is there room under the coil for air to move around it? is there no wicking material blocking the airflow?

I'm guessing you're using an RDA (dripper)?

If so, is this your first time using it?

 

[sopta12345]

I understand him that he is using protank with silica.
If you talking about burning not TH must be hot spot or yours silica doesent wicking that good that should be.

 

[DoubleDecker]

I'm using a nimbus with larger than stock airholes. Don't think it's a nicotine issue.

Thinking it's gotta be hot spots or over juiced.

Yes it is. Well my second build. My first build was ok. It was a cotton wick. 1.3 ohm.
