Why am I wheezing?

[DaveP]

I get that heavy lung feeling if I vape too much VG. I generally vape 100% PG juices and occasionally put a little VG in for more vapor and smoother vapor, but I limit it to about 20-25% VG mix.

VG is very similar in consistency to the glycerin used in stage fog machines. We used to use one here and there and only when there was carpet on the stage. We tried it once on a hardwood stage and we all had to move with baby steps after almost slipping down. I suspect that 100% VG can leave a film on the bronchial tubes and into the lung tissue. That would lower your oxygen levels, I'll bet.

Just for the heck of it, find some all PG juice and vape it for a week or so. If the condition improves, you may have the answer. You can get 50ml bottles of Dekang RY4 from www.hoosierecig.com for $10.99. It's a good PG vape. They sell all flavors of Dekang.

The ring is the exact same size. I just tried it again to be sure - and if I try to slip the ring down over the tank to check the fit, it only goes over the tip and stops.

Now I'm confused. The beauty ring goes on the MVP first. Then you screw your smok on. Should fit.

With the ring first installed on the MVP, are you able to then attach your tank to the unit? If you take the ring off, it won't complete slide over any tank, but the end of your tank should be able to fit down inside of it.

Hoosier carries 100% PG and my suspicion tells me the OP is a cloud chaser so if I am correct he/she may not like it. He/she is also a menthol/mint vaper....RY4 is not going to be even close to mint.....unless OFC RY4 comes in menthol

Sure you are not bucking for a free 50ml bottle of RY4 in the event it is not liked ....J/K Dave....but if this is THE plan it is a good one indeed

Here is an aspire tank inside the ring on my MVP. Your smoktech should fit.

The ring is the exact same size as the bottom of the tank.

Nope, it's the exact same size.

Yeah just put the ring on the larger threaded portion and finger tighten it down then screw the tank into the 510 connection. Even if it does not go into the ring but just sits on top, as long as it gets connection and powers up you are off and running......errrrr vaping!

 

[nwohiopma]

There is no way the tank will fit inside, it's the same size as the ring. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll post a picture.

This is entirely possible. Forgive me for asking this next question just so I can be sure. You aren't putting that beauty ring on the MVP upside down right? You are actually screwing the beauty ring to the MVP first right. Also, this is the same beauty ring that came with the MVP correct? See my picture in post above.

 

[nwohiopma]

The tank won't go inside of the ring and the connection inside of the tank doesn't reach the pin on the MVP if it sits on top. The diameter is the same. I had the husband look at it, he says there is No 'effin way the tank will fit inside. Sorry, hope that doesn't violate the TOS, but that's what he said

Fyi: "P" is for power, which is what watts is.

I'm just trying to lend a helping troubleshooting thought. You have an eGo battery, and you have a VMP. You have at least two tanks. You are not having this problem with one tank on the eGo.

As others have said, you have to put that tank on the VMP (which yu have started to try). Then, to get the same output at the eGo, which you can do. As has been advised, start at the lowest amount of P or V. Raise that amount until it gets to be the same hit as the eGo.

When it is the same as the eGo, note the setting you are using. I would do this with the V setting. Report the setting that hits the same as the eGo.

If it does not hit the same, there has been mentioned airflow-related issues, such as with the beauty ring. But this may also involve points of electrical contact. It would be a goofy anomaly if so. But first, have you gotten the same hit at any V setting as the eGo (same tank on both)?

Ohm's law: Where E = volts, I = amps, and R = ohms... You say a 1.8 ohm coil, but where that is the same tank working OK on the eGo... It means that E/I = 1.8 and E x I = 6.5, when using the 6.5 watt setting. This will mean if it working right, then it will be running at a tad over 3.4 volts, and just under 1.9 amps, to really be at 6.5 watts. BUT, you say it's OK at the 3.3 volt setting? There is so little difference between 3.3 and 3.4 (volts). That is what I don't get, because 6.5 watts seems pretty low. Maybe when using the P type setting, something is not working as it says that it is. That is what has been occurring to me in reading all of this. (Please make sure to say what the ohms of the tank used on the eGo is when hooked up to the VMP). Thanks.

Cheers.

I hope it isn't an Ego adapter in error....just sayin

No problem, saw the call out on the MVP channel, lol. ...

This is Why I put that Call Out.

Because this Thread has Exploded with All Kinds of Tips and Tricks. And I knew when I Couldn't get nwohiopma going that I should Call in the Experts.

 

[nwohiopma]

The ego tank fits inside the ring while the ring is attached to the MVP. The new tank doesn't. The new tank is a lot bigger in diameter. There are only threads on one end, so only one way to attach it, correct? Yes, same ring, flared at the top, no threads on that end. Threads on the flat end.

IIRC it is a 2.6 ohm coil....probably 2.4 but reads at 2.6...but again IIRC

I appreciate your reply. I have to go to bed, but I'll be back tomorrow to address your questions. Thank you and good evening

X-Zactly.

Especially when the OP tries the Same Tank on their eGo and it works fine at About 8.4 Watts.

Yes, you have it right. Just had to make sure.

 

[nwohiopma]

If it is, I wouldn't know the difference. You have a completely valid point. But, it looks the same as the one in the picture. We got 2 MVP's yesterday, one for me, one for the hub. Both rings are the same. I checked to be sure the serial numbers were valid on the Innokin website, so the equipment is ok.

I have to go to bed, but I will take pictures of the ego tank that fits with the ring and the new tank which doesn't fit. I know you think I'm nuts, but I swear they're the same size and I know how the ring goes on the MVP, there are only threads on one end. I'll be back tomorrow, my head hurts
