Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hey all, I'm brand new to vaping and now I'm just getting frustrated. I went to a local vape shop, tested some flavors, and made a pick. All the flavors I tested were pleasant, they smelled and tasted wonderful. No problems just delicious and delightful, smooth clouds. Having just bought my bottle of juice, I went home, filled the tank, let it sit (overnight actually) and then fired it up for a puff. OMG it just burned. No good flavor, not a smooth cloud (mostly because my throat went to hell and back and I didn't inhale much). Completely not what I experienced at the shop. I've been search the depths of the internet with no answer and I have no clue what is happening or how to stop it. Any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Okay, so I get clouds, but still the really intense burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That is a sub ohm tank its gonna be a hot vape what setup did you try the juices in at the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm not 100% sure, it was a mini, one small button press and puff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ok with that kind of setup your gonna get a totally different vape then the smok/baby beast Is this your first setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yes, just got it because I was recommended this kit as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Did you prime your coils? Not to offend, but it is a process of putting e-liquid directly on the cotton around the coil before vaping on a new coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Walt, totally not offended, like I said I'm new and have no clue lol. I did not put any directly on the coil. As far as I knew all the priming that was needed was filling the tank and letting it soak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I knew all the priming that was needed was filling the tank and letting it soak That should be fine fir priming It seems to me that tank is a bit rough for you as a starter tank as its a high wattage tank/coil mouth too lung hit setup I would suggest a more first user tank like a subtank mini Edited April 21, 2017 by cany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have done the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Is there anyway to reduce the intensity with the tank and coil I have rn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 No need to feel dumb, we all had to start somewhere. As for the baby beast, I just recently got one and didn't care for the hot vapor even after I tried all the tricks to get it to work the way it's supposed to. It could be that you need something different for your own vaping style. In my opinion? I'd never start a new vaper with your kit, I'd go with something much easier and no subohm. My latest protoge got started with a couple of Vision Spinner batteries (that's what I had on hand to pay forward, not that I'd necessarily go this easy for most people starting out), and a couple of Kanger ProTank mini 3s with 1.8 ohm dual coils. Once he had that for a while I moved him to an Eleaf iPower 80W and a Kanger Aerotank 2. He's not interested in subohming, just wants off the smokes for now and is happy moving slow. Your mileage may be different. Mr_Vape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sorry, I don't want to introduce a problem that isn't there, but a dry hit is the only thing I can think of that would burn the throat like that at those low wattage settings with that rig.

cany Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Im not 100% sure but you might be able to run that coil in temp control mode. You might wanna try turning down the airflow a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16 watts he was starting with will barely fire that coil Im not sure it would burn the coil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
