Bad throat hit

[KyleN]

Hi, I'm pretty new to vaping I have the GeekVape Obelisk 200w & VooPoo H40.
I'm currently using the Obelisk.
I have a 0.4 coil in @ 54W and e liquid is vapegoo 70/30 (no nicotine)
Since starting I have been having light throat soreness mainly in the evenings.
I'm just wondering if the e liquid I'm using is the problem or should try using nic salts?
I just want some advice on what would help to stop the throat soreness in the evenings and have a much smoother hit
Thanks

Welcome,
How long have you been vaping and how long have you been having symptoms?
It's normally the nic that gives the throat hit so if you're nic free that can be ruled out.

Hi @KyleN and welcome to the planet.
I've not used that kit or coil but it's best to take any suggested wattages with a pinch of salt.
I use 50-80w coils at 35-40w max. A must is prime first and start real low around 20w and take a couple of puffs then turn up 1watt at a time. You won't get much flave or cloud but the coil is still heating up and bedding in the cotton.

Back in the day when they started we called it vape poo as it was hit and miss and some were total shite. I guess they've grown over the years but as the saying goes you get what you pay for.
Not sure if link will work as typing on phone but for the 0.4 I wouldn't go over 40w.
Oh and don't even think about salts as you will get nice od within 10 mins at that wattage. Salts are much smoother on the throat but hit the bloodstream much quicker and best at 10-15w max and 50/vg50pg but if your using zero NIC then worth a go.

Thank you!
I've been on and off really for about 2 years, but properly started again about 2 weeks ago. It's like when I swallow in the evenings it just feels like I have a blocking sensation in my throat I hope that makes enough sense lol

Hi appreciate it!
I've brought the new Zeus tank I'm not using the normal Obelisk tank would I still be doing below 50W as this has really confused me now because the past week research and a local vape shop stated to be between 50-60W lol
Would you recommend changing to nic salts for a smoother hit on the throat or will zero nic also be good on the throat too?
Thank you for your advice!
