I've been a smoker since I was 16, I'm 22 now and I'm sick of it. My current set up is an Eleaf iStick 30W and a Kangertech Subtank Mini. As I'm fairly new to this, that set up is what my local vape store recommended. For the e liquid, I use VIP special blends.
The first time I used it, the guy at the shop had it set at 15 watts on max air flow. I was used to low watt pen vapes so I coughed my lungs out. I kept trying, not knowing the subtank had adjustable air flow. I was really discouraged until my classmate gave me some vaping lessons, I got the hang of it and much preferred vaping to cigarettes. However, I got a nasty cold and vaping made me cough.
I went back to smoking. A few days ago I picked up the vape again and all was well! I changed out the coil (stupid me only primed it for around a minute).
Here are my issues:
-Whenever I hold down the button for more than a couple of seconds, the carto hisses and 'pops'. I've heard this is a common thing for the subtank mini. Is there any way to fix this?
-No matter the e liquid, it tastes a bit soapy and burnt. It's at the point where it hurts my throat. I only do lung hits, mouth to lung makes me cough something fierce. My feeling is that I'm not priming the coil for long enough and that my nicotine strength is too high.
-The coils I have are 1.2ohms. I'm not sure if they make 0.5 or 1.5 for the subtank, but what would be best?
-I've only had the coil in for three days and it's barely producing any vapour. I'm getting really discouraged again
Any tips would be really helpful! I'm going back to my vape shop tomorrow to see what can be done.
