Guys… I need some help here… over the last four days - my goto all day vape (Real Flavors Chocolate Shake) has been extremely harsh for some reason.
So here’s the other issue… when I switch to another flavor (after swapping out my wick) that is just as smooth normally… the first draw almost closed my throat…
What the hell is going on here??? I really don’t want to go back to smokes, but at this rate - they hurt less. Am I doing something wrong here?
It could be your nic or it could be your throat. It may sound silly but back before Thanksgiving, I thought I had an issue with harsh mixes, then realized it was all my mixes, old and new, of every profile. By the next day it was clear I was fighting a cold, lol. Try mixing a little unflavored juice @ 0 nic and see if maybe it’s your nic. Also have some warm tea and chicken soup because that’s nice even when you’re not sick.
3mg Nicotine with 5% VG Based Chocolate Shake (RF) - steeped 4 weeks - Max VG mix
Using a Pharoh Dripper with a Releaux RX300 at 34 watts with .2 ohm resistance
I was using this previously at about 45.5 watts without even so much of a tickle. Now, at this setting, every lung draw makes me hack up a lung.
Other mix I was using is a Strawberry, Apricot and Mango mix (Strawberry Astronaut Clone) that’s steeped 3 weeks and is usually as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Same results - lowered the wattage, opened the airflow more - still hacking up a lung.
The nicotine may be bad, I just don’t have a way to test besides making a non-flavored batch. I bought another batch of nicotine - I guess I could try and mix up a quick Shake n Vape - but it’s never been this bad before guys… I’m kind of stressing out over here.
I know this may sound weird but I agree with the cold theory. Look up cobweb clearer for a recipe. That helped me kick the icks and cold. It got me through tough times.
i just got over a horrible cold that first didnt show many side effects except not being able to vape every thing i vaped was harsh , then all the side effects of a cold came and vaping was horrible so i set my watts low and the air flow as well just enough to not hack up a lung , to make this ling story short you may be getting sick i hope not good luck
The other thing is maybe you have some hotspots in your nic, and you’ve just reached a really hot bottle mixing up the latest batches. The higher your source nic strength, the hotter those hot spots will be.
