Need advice on my first vape

A buddy also coughed his lungs out when puffing on my Subtank or Billow. He vapes up a storm using the Nautilus mini without coughing.

I think most ex-smokers or new vapers will just be more comfortable doing mouth to lung inhales similar to what they are / were used to when smoking.
That is likely why Twisp and the Ego style atties were so successful as starter kits - they just emulate the tighter draw of MTL on a stinkie much better.
I for one, am hugely surprised at the success rate of the Kanger Subox and the Evic VTCs amongst new vapers since it's release, as I just do not see them as very good MTL starter devices.

I'd still recommend atties like the EVOD, K1, Nautilus mini and even the mPT3 for starter vapers, where they can use juices with a higher nic content at lower power, and vape infrequently to satisfy the craving vs having to chain-vape doing lung hits at 20-30w on 3 or 6 mg jooses to avoid silvering.

About a year and a half ago when the first 50W devices started doing the rounds, people thought that it was crazy, no-one needs that much power... not even seasoned 'professional' vapers. It was seen as a fad or toys for cloud chasers as 20 / 25W was ample for most.
People now frown at the 'underpowered' 30 and 40W TC devices which are doing the rounds, as the average 'starter' kit seems to be a 60W device sporting a sub-ohm tank.

Our vaping world is certainly changing fast, and while we might keep up with it's speed and it's fads, I think we might be losing a lot of new would-be vapers in the momentum.
 
LOL @BuzzGlo!

I also tried the sub-ohm thing, I guess I'm a bit new to vaping to go that far - I almost died LOL!!! When I started out with my Subox Mini, I had the 1.5 Ohm coil in, NOOOOOO problem! Then I went for the RBA with a 0.5Ohm.... uhhh didn't work. I find, anything above 1.3Ohm at this stage works well for me..... although I haven't managed to get off the stinkies yet (but have cut down). I'm still trying to find my sweetspot - with regard to ejuices and nic levels in order to be satisfied and not roasting my throat. But, I'm getting there!
 
I got straw dogs with the vape its from the e_liquid projects .. dont know if you heard of it . One small question... how much does liquid cost .. i paid 160 for a 30ml .. is that a good price ? And i almost fill up 3times a day .. am i vaping to much?

You can use the RBA deck or the 0.5 ohm coil but start at a low wattage setting till you get used to. I started the subtank on 16w and quickly worked my way up to 26w. It is just getting used to the warmer hit, but depending on nic content the hit is more harsh. So you just need to play with it.

The RBA deck has a LOT more flavour, once you get used to it you will love it.
 
@Nimatek I am currently only using the RBA, but I keep the Ohm high until I'm more used to everything. I also want to try experiencing with Nickel coils in my TC device, but with the Nickel builds the Ohm is very low, so, I'll get into that at a later stage.
 
Guys...Don't forget that your juice and nicotine strength make a HUGE difference between resistances and airflow.

I have felt absolutely horrid a few times that I've let people try my setup.
They cough their lungs out till red in the face and crying :(

Clouded, don't be put off by the low resistance of nickel coils. It's not comparable to kanthal in that regard. The vape you get off of nickel and such is dictated by your temperature and joule settings on your mod. Try it and you might find it suits your current vaping style much better than subohm kanthal builds despite the low resistance.
 
I'll try be a bit brief and to the point :)
....though I tend to not be :rofl:

There is a good reason that your setup is referred to as a APV. (Advance PERSONALISED Vaporizer)
There is so much to alter, change, adjust and choose from.

Firstly: everyone has their own preference of flavor and I know certain ones can make you nauseous or cough.
Flavors also change drastically with nicotine content (+-6mg I've noticed) ...Juice I used to vape through a tank @ 12mg just doesn't do it at all for me @ 6mg in a dripper.
VG vs. PG is also a factor: More clouds means more vapor and more vapor is usually due to the density, which not every person is used to or enjoys lungs filled to the brim with vapor as it feels like you may be drowning.
This can also be due to medical factors of the lungs.
More vapor can also and does intensify the nicotine strength, as you have a ton more vapor distributing the nicotine.
Couple that with more airflow and it is like doubling your ampage.
Then taking into consideration the resistance, means wire thickness and heat.
Lower resistance tends to hit very hard, very quickly, where as higher resistance is a slower more gradual hit.

This is partly based on fact and partly on experience.
but there are so many factors to vaping, that letting someone try a personalized setup you enjoy is equivalent to handing over your phone and expecting them to know all their contacts off by heart and make do with your apps instead of theirs :-D
 
Thanks @TheLongTwitch
No bloody wonder i nearly fell over yesterday with my new Atty3 sucking on my fav juice @ 12mg nic.
The nic nearly killed me..LOL got seriously nauseated ..Now it makes sense.
