Throat burn after I changed the coil

Hi
Basically I changed my coil and now everytime I take a hit it kinda hurts my throat..
Could it be particles inside my airflow getting into my throat?? I'm a hypochondriac so like I'm pretty worried that tissue particles or what not are gonna make my lung collapse or make me suffocate.
Anyone have any ideas of what it could be??
ITS 3mg NICOTINE!!!!

Maybe you should take the time and read up on common sense before constantly creating topics that make no sense or are overly dramatic. But to answer that question for others that might search for it and are not trolls.

If you tried your juice prior and it was fine, and you stored it correctly in a dark cool space with the cap/lid closed, and its not a year or more old then you did not prime your coil accurately and either have to redo it, or let it soak a bit longer or/and start at lower wattage and take a couple hits before increasing, so your coils can wick correctly.

If you've never tried the juice prior and just got the new setup, chances are that your juice is mixed with shitty nicotine, pg/VG ratio are not agreeing with you, some flavors giving harshness/burn sensation which might or might not steep out, vendor used alcohol based flavorings which do steep out but can also be fixed with letting the bottle air/breath for 5 minutes. Too high temp/wattage can do the same.

None of this will happen. You are more likely to die from stressing out about everything under the sun than anything. At 19 you should should be living like you cant die and never will.

Dont waste your youth being afraid of everything.

Most common problem after changing a coil (and properly priming it) is neglecting to lower your wattage and increase gradually. Just because you vape at 20w normally doesn't mean you can start at 20w with a new coil. It takes some time to get the coil broken in (wicking properly), so always start at low wattage and work your way UP after changing a coil.

Relax dude! You're perfectly safe! Statistically, you've got a much better chance of being struck by lightning in a snow storm in July than you have of getting any kind of metallic dust in your lungs.

You're getting dry hits because you're not waiting until the e-juice actually gets into the cotton. It takes time for the cotton in your coil to actually absorb the e-juice. Do a few sharp inhales without firing your mod just to get everything started. That should get rid of the Satanic throat assaults. :)

He's not perfectly safe. Could fall down some stairs and break his neck, accidentally asphyxiate from mixing household chemicals and creating a toxic gas that sucks all of the oxygen out of his lungs and suffocates him. Could have an exhaust leak that causes him to pass out and crash at high speed. All kinds of things much more probable than pocket crud. :rolleyes:

In my personal opinion this is due to user error and probably an improperly primed or broken in coil. But what the fuck do I know? I have never experience these problems.

Coils have to be primed before you vape using them. This means allowing the coil to soak in your eliquid long enough for it to completely saturate the wick. Usually about 5-10 minutes after installing a new coil. If you vape a coil before it's primed properly, you'll burn the wick and then the coil will be no good for you to use - it will continue to taste burnt no matter what you do to it.

You also may be vaping at too high of a wattage for the coil - which can also burn the wick permanently. Make sure you're starting at a low wattage first, then slowly raising it.
