cany Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 But Im not giving up just yet. Tried my Melo on the Istick50 today Tried all different watts/ air combos I get a nice clouds the flavor Ehhhh. At Higher Watts (20) I get a lot of hot molten spatter trying to deep fry my tounge. Through out all my various settings Im still getting almost a burning in my throat and a bitter after taste this happens at lower watts also (12) all this on a 30/70 juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Are you building your own coils cany? What is your nic content? Edited May 1, 2015 by Bebop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Stock coil that came with the melo nic is 10 its a 0.5 coil but shows0.7 on display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlehead Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) 10 mg nic might be a bit much at 5 ohms. It was for me anyway. I found that the sweet spot for me with a 5 ohm coil was 5mg of nicotine @ 25w. As for the spatter, maybe try a slightly thicker juice (more VG) and/or different drip tip?

Tam Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Most people who sub-ohm lower their nic (to something like 6 mg or 3 mg), and increase the VG content of their juices to keep from getting too harsh a throat hit.

Rattlehead Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Exactly. You no longer need the higher mg of nic because you're taking in so much more vapor. Edited May 2, 2015 by Rattlehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adversarious1 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Most people who sub-ohm lower their nic (to something like 6 mg or 3 mg), and increase the VG content of their juices to keep from getting too harsh a throat hit. Yep. Once I got my first sub ohm tank (subtank mini) I pretty much had to lower my nic. I had already dropped from 18 - 12mg nic, but I had to go down to 3-6mg nic max because anything higher made me sick to my stomach and/or lightheaded. To the credit of the guy at the B&M where I bought that my subtank mini, he did warn me about nic levels while sub-ohming. I personally haven't noticed much of a difference between the 50/50 blend of my ADV and the higher VG juices I use, but PG affects different people in different ways (as does nic level).

shen_long86 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I did the same thing when i started dripping/sub-ohming i dropped from 12mg down to between 6mg-3mg all the time now. I also mix my own juice but i only run 70vg/30pg or higher but that is my prefernce. i tried to vape a 12mg the other day, of swamp thing my buddy got for me but i cant handle it. It just burns like crazy and i had it in my full size nautilus at 5 watts and was still too harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I heard the same thing too but since I had just bought some new juice when I got my first rebuildable I stuck with 18. And yes I was on the verge of being nic sick a couple of times. Still vape between 12 and 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
