Throat hit or burning throat?

[Tibbetts]

Hey guys

I just got a new cartomizer for my itastevv, the ismoka bbc mega. I'm vaping cream soda juice at 3.3 volts, and I'm getting a horrible feeling in my throat. Now, I'm very new to vaping, but I don't think this is normal. At first, it feels like a nice throat hit. After exhale, it leaves almost a burning sensation in my throat, and it isn't pleasant to smoke. Do you have any suggestions? The bbc mega came with two different ohm wicks, should I try swapping them? What exactly will that do?

what mg is the nic? and whats your vg/pg %... if you tell us this we may be able to help more!!

 

[Tibbetts]

12mg nic, and I'm not sure on the PG/VG. It doesn't say on the bottle.

After experimenting a bit, I've find that rather small vape hits don't really cause the burn. If I take a normal/more than normal drag it burns.

2.2ohm is the preinstalled.

The problem seems to have, for the most part, fixed itself. The burning still happens after 12-14 hits, and last for about 3 hits than disappears. I don't know what is happening

Sounds like a dry hit to me. I had the same problem with mine and took tweezers and pulled a tiny piece of wick off the top 1 at a time until it was gone. Also try drawing for a second or two with no power first then take a hit. If this eliminates the problem it's definitely a dry hit. They can be awful.

3.3V? your voltage is too low... you are vaporizing the nicotine and very little PG/VG. Nicotine vaporizes at approx 200F, PG/VG at 320F. bump up your voltage to increase heat on the coil to get both to vaporize evenly.
