adrian32283 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sounds like you need more airflow or do not have your coils positioned properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian32283 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sounds like you need to do some more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian32283 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A 50/50 juice would kick my rear hard on a .6 ohm build try going to a way lower pg level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles vapor Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtdobies Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian32283 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 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!!!

mvince201 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 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. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
