This is my first post, so first of all, hello! Some background info...I smoke about a pack a day and I just turned 30 so it's time to take quitting seriously. I tried one of the Blu disposables for a week and even though it felt like sucking on a car air freshener it helped tremendously with cravings and I found it pretty easy to not smoke at all for 5 days...until the weekend came and I was drinking and hanging around smokers. I decided if I had something that I actually enjoyed vaping on then I really think I have a shot at quitting. Anyway, some friends recommended the eVic VT. That came in the mail today. I've watched a ton of videos on YouTube but it seems like all of them are guys talking about the features but not explaining them and then showing off their clouds. So I went out and got some juice from a local shop. It's made in-house so I don't know much about it really apart from that it contains 6mg of nicotine. To be honest the music in the place was unbearable and the guys at the "bar" were eyeballing me like the new kid at school so I was in and out as quickly as possible. I'll be ordering juice online from now on. So I went out to my car and squirted the stuff into the atomizer, and a little bit into the coil dealie. I set it to 450*F and 40W...not sure why, just seemed like a good setting. Here's when things started to suck:
My first hit hurt BAD. I inhaled into my mouth and then into my lungs. If you've ever burned styrofoam and accidentally inhaled the black smoke, that's how it felt. It tasted delicious, but totally took my breath away. On a scale of Mountain Air to Bong Rip, this inhale was Burning Toxic Waste. There was also loads of vapor and it looked darker than I expected, not all white and peaceful like in the videos. The juice also crackled pretty hard as I inhaled and a lot of it spattered into my mouth which tasted like hot candy juice and was kind of hard not to swallow. Probably not wise. After I finished coughing my lungs up I decided that I should try turning the wattage down first. I went down to 30W and tried again. Perhaps it's also worth noting that during my first hit I had the carb/window hole thingy closed and this time I opened it about half way. This time not as much crackled into my mouth and I didn't get as much vapor, but the burn was still pretty harsh. Definitely not enjoyable. So I tried turning the temp down to 300*F this time and hit it again. This time there was no burn, but also barely any vapor. I tried some different settings after than but by this point I was feeling extremely jittery and lightheaded. Between the sticky juice getting in my mouth and on my hands and after hitting it 6-7 times back to back I decided it was time to step away from nicotine for a bit. It's now a few hours later and I'm starting to feel better. My lungs still feel like I just got over being sick. The good news is I haven't had any interest in smoking a cigarette! What am I doing wrong?? Why do I suck at vaping? Is getting the juice in my mouth normal? Could anyone maybe recommend a good setting?
