what am I doing wrong?

[Situation10]

I just got my vapor king and charged the batteries. I have tried both Mboro and Coffee flavors. When I hit it, even if it's a really small hit where I don't visibly exhale anything, it's harsh as hell. It's sooo much harsher than any cigarette or cigar I've ever had, I almost threw up off of it earlier.

What mg carts are you using?

 

[Situation10]

I'm coughing my lungs out!

Looks like one is 36 and one is 24.

36 is really high and 24 is still pretty high. Try using a lower strength. The higher the nic the more throat hit you get. There are some that suck down 36 like it's going out of style, but I find 11-18 is perfect for me, and the 18mg cappuccino still hits me pretty hard sometimes.

I actually just ordered some 6mg for my chain-vape sessions. I noticed sometimes when sucking on the 18mg on the pass-thru, I would get pretty dizzy. 6-8mg works perfect for me on the PT and then when I really start to crave, I'll take a puff off some 18 on one of my batteries.

I will try to order some with much less then. I would like to be able to take a decent puff off of it. Anyone want some high strength cartomizers and liquid for cheap? 1 Coffee and 5ml refill, 4 Mboro and 5ml refill, 2 Cappuccino and 5ml refill, 2 French Dip.

2 French Dip.

I'll have roast beef with that.

I would hold onto it for a rainy day! You never know when you might need that extra little kick. After you get used to vaping, there may be times when you need a little extra kick. You could also order some 0mg juice and mix it with the high strengths to cut the nic level in half. This way you wouldn't be out any money

 

[Situation10]

French pipe I meant, not dip lol.

Agree with Ryguy, those are probably too high for you. As stated, 36 and 24s are fine for some... I usually stick to the 16 - rarely the 24. And 6 is perfect nighttime vape for me. Did you get some lower? Maybe someone here can tell you how to add VG to it and tone it down a bit... I have heard of people doing that.

 

[Situation10]

How can I figure out how strong the 5ml refills are? I don't see the mg on the bottles.

Low=8
Med=18
High=36

If you got any in the Med. let me know and I'll walk you through how to empty the carts so that you can refill with the lower strength.

Thanks.

 

[RyGuy]

Thanks.

No problem! That's what we do here. We help each other out. Like one big happy family

One more VERY important thing, puff SOFT, slow, and long.......

This need to be practiced, when I first started vaping, I did it wrong for months, nad vaped very little. When I began to get serious, I went to get some help from a big seller, on the border. She showed me what I was doing wrong. Watch the video's, and practice, it makes a HUGE difference

I just started mine yesterday and noticed a lack of vapor on the 16 menthol and 11 pipe. I also have a wheezing sound from the battery / cart area so I am waiting for the other battery to charge and see how the two compare.

Right now I am chalking this up to inexperience and experimenting. Most of the posters here mention to give it some time.

You can go to Walmart and get a bottle of glycerin...add a drop or two until it mellows out to your liking.

Walmarts brand is "Humco" Glycerin is a base for many things such as flavorings, herbal blends, skin conditioners, protein bars...may add a slightly "sweet" taste, but I personally do not notice it...will cut back on the throat kick as well...

Glycerin will also kick up vapor production.

Oh yeah...and what Steve said ....sloooow, savoring puffs...soft even....inhale slowly as well when using the larger dosages.

 

[Situation10]

I like the coffee sample they sent me, although it makes me choke because it's a 24mg cart. So I ordered some coffee in 6mg and a low 5ml refill. Should be here in a few days. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Hopefully I'll be able to get some vapor out of it without hacking a lung up.

Did you get the auto batteries? Those more so then the manuals have a learning curve as to draw. Try a quick primer puff followed by long....slow....easy draws. You will be amazed at how much flavor and vapor you get doing that.

Also, with the autos I tended to hold the ecig like a joint, with my thumb and index finger, covering up the seam to block some of the air. That makes a tighter, harder draw which I prefer. Gazoo suggested cutting the end off one of the condom covers and sliding it so that it partially covers the seam. You have to move it until it has the draw you want, it can only be partially covered or you will get no hit at all.

If you have the manual batteries, a slow easy draw is also helpful but not quite as important as with the autos. With either type the long slow drag is going to get you more vapor, more flavor and more throat hit.

Stick with it - you will get it!
