Too much throat hit!

[adrian32283]

Hello everyone. New to the forum and have been vaping since Dec. Just got my first mech mod chi you clone and an igo-w rda. I built a dual coil Kanthal 28g with organic cotton at .62 ohms. Using 0 mg 50/50 juice I can barely inhale without coughing up a lung. I usually vape 12mg nicotine with my mvp or ego. Am I doing something wrong? Should I use a different vg/pg mix? Should I use another type of wick? I know most people use a lower nic with mech mods but 0mg is still too much! And help is appreciated

Sounds like you need more airflow or do not have your coils positioned properly

[adrian32283]

Its a single air hole and its pretty tiny. The coils a positioned in front of the posts about an 1/8 inch above the deck.

Ill drill out the hole as soon as I get home though

[mvince201]

For dual coils you need 2 air holes, no exceptions. And for a .6 ohm build I would suggest 5/64th holes on a each side.

[mvince201]

Sounds like you need to do some more research.

[adrian32283]

I guess you are right. Of all the damn vids I've watched no one has ever mentioned that. Ill try it out and see what happens. I appreciate the info.

A 50/50 juice would kick my rear hard on a .6 ohm build try going to a way lower pg level.

80/20 does it for me on RDAs, and it took some research and a little trial and error, but the air flow is a big deal when your building RDAs. start with the 5/64 and see how you feel and if it still doesnt feel right maybe go up one size. Just be carefull not to make them too big.

80 VG?

[mvince201]

I drip anything from 50/50 to 100% vg.

[Mtdobies]

Really? I'd be coughing up a serious lung I have used 30/70 that was okay, but pg does bother me w throat hit anyway took harsh.

[mvince201]

If I end up with anything that's too harsh I just cut it down a little with VG and it's good to go

[Mtdobies]

Been there done that! Lol

[charles vapor]

Ya 80 vg

[Mtdobies]

Oh good.

Here's an update. Drilled my igo-w 5/64" put 6mg nic 50/50 juice hits like a champ. Still a strong throat hit but ill get used to it. The flavor is amazing compared to anything I've put it in. Thank you guys so much for the tips!!!

Positioning your coils correctly in front of the air holes is just as important as the air holes themselves. You'll get the hang of it the more you build.
