Weird tasting, can't drag for longer than 2 seconds without being harsh

[Jj123x1]

Hi guys.I'm pretty new to vaping.

I've bought an istick 30w and a kanger sub tank plus. First few days were great using the o.5ohm coil that came with it. It started tasting a little burnt so I'm now using the rba that came with it. But Im getting a very tight harsh drag. I'm using a 80vg 20pg liquid. Airflow all the way open. Even at 7w it's harsh.

Can someone please suggest what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix this?
Thank you

How strong is the nicotine you're using. Anything over 6mg is gonna probably be too strong. Make sure the screws are tight as well as the coil screwed well into the base. It doesn't have to be wrenched on there but just good and hand tight. Also make sure the center pin between the mod and tank are making a good connection.

12mg. I'll double check all that now and let you know if there's any difference. Thanks.

If you noticed that the air flow is "tight", vs. a coil head assembly air flow... that leads me to believe your coil(s) and wick material might be covering the air outlet. If that's the case, it would be a prime contributor to your issues.

Another might be the build... you don't state what wire gauge, resistance, coil(s) dimensions or wicking medium. That would be good to know.

Are you getting enough juice to the wick/coil?

In my subtank 3 on the nic is high enough . I may use 12 in an aerotank , but that's about it .

I took it apart re wicked it. Used a little less cotton and it seems to be a bit better but still a little harsh but getting better drags.

I'm not sure of the gauge and the rest as a complete newbie. I'm just using the spare coil that cam with the kit.

There is plenty of juice on the Cotton I don't think it's dry hitting.

Personally, I don't do well with the higher vg juices with those rbas. The juice can't get to the wick very well and if your wick is in the juice channels in the least, it will be harsh with dry hits. Even the plus doesn't have very large channels in the rba.
