VERY Frustrated New Vaper

Agree on the water, stay hydrated! Also, the coffee grounds trick works WONDERS.

So what did you finally end up using for a hardware setup then? Just curious and thanks for the input

After I figured out why my Vision Spinner and ProTank2 was burning, (I wasn't sucking hard enough so I basically had to prime the wick by sucking on it while it was vertical every now and again), I picked up a Black Copper Stingray mod with a sony 18650 and a kayfun Lite Plus v.2, learned how to make my own coils and spent a couple of days getting it dialed in. It's not rocket surgery, it's actually quite simple.

I started out running the Kayfun at .83ohm with 28g kanthal wrapped on a 1/16 drill bit but was burning the cotton wick. Still haven't figured out if it was the way I was placing the wick or it was just simply too hot. I'm currently on a 1.20ohm wick. Same wire, couple more wraps. I don't get anymore burnt cotton or taste, but can't attribute that to simply more resistance alone as I also changed the way I put the cotton in the base. Minor changes make a huge difference and if I'd have been thinking, I'd only have done one new variable at a time. I am not blessed with that kind of patience though. If I was, I'd still be married.

Stick with it. This .... gets really fun the deeper you get into it. and it tastes good too!

also, check out HHV(Heathers Heavenly Vapes) . They have a subforum here and make some pretty kick ... juice from what I hear. I'll let you know a newbies perspective on it when I get my first order Monday.

Here's another...maybe.

I had a habit of drinking coffee too late at night and switched over to tea after my supper. Ran out of the stuff I normally swilled and used some peppermint tea. Took a vape and damned if it wasn't super poppin. I've been able to duplicate it so it may not just be a coincidence.

I still have the throat clearing problem and I've been vapping for 4+ years

i agree, better tanks and different flavors will help with that tasteless moments when you first start vaping. Besides, you will enjoy vaping more by trying the countless selections of different brands and juices that are out there and finding your couple favorite brands and flavors.

there have been some great suggestions posted!
if you tried a cig now, it might taste like poo
I vape unflavored 50/50 pg/vg, you could try that
I still use an ego battery 3 years later. nothing wrong with them
vaping isn't as "easy" as smoking, but it sure is worth hanging in there!

Didnt read all 5 pages.
Dont know what you are vaping on but flavor gets quite strong if you use a kayfun. Vaper tongue will go away forever soon. Just give it time.

The 1 or 2 puffs and then losing flavor? You still have vapors tongue but it's starting to clear - be patient another day or 2 and it should be gone. I've only had it twice - the 1st time it lasted about 5 days and the last time it cleared in less than 2. This was what i did the 2nd time:
1. I bought a tongue brush, and used twice a day
2. Take a sip of water to wet the tongue. Place a saltine cracker, salt side down on the tongue. Allow to soften and dissolve. Wash down with water. Repeat.
