Ok so i am new to vaping. Just received my first kit.. Have started using it but I cant take a drag without coughing..

Does anyone know what the problem is? or does it just take a bit of time to get use to ?
 
Hi @Scooby and welcome to the planet :)

My first bit of kit was an evod tank and an ego battery: on my first few drags I coughed and spluttered and wondered if I was missing something too, I think most of us do. One of the things to remember is to take slow gentle pulls instead of the normal drag you'd take on a tobacco cigarette: it takes a few days to get used to, especially as you're faced with all the new kit too, but you'll get there soon and be vaping like a pro'. :D Also, instead of taking it straight down into your lungs, take a small slow pull for a few seconds into your mouth rather than straight down and then take it into your lungs, that might help too.

As you get more used to vaping, you'll be able to take more vapour in and 'lung inhale' where you take it straight into your lungs - don't try that yet for a wee while as you'll not only cough, but it'll probably make you a bit dizzy too! :30:

Taking slow drags also means that you aren't pulling too much juice into the wicks and consequently the inner tube of your tank - you'll get a very, very crackly sound and possibly hot droplets of juice in your mouth if this happens - you'll find that a vaper's best mate is a tissue - every so often take a corner and roll it too a point, then poke this gently into the mouth piece and tube and this will take up any condensation from the vapour and spits of juice.

I forgot to add - Vaping will dehydrate you faster than smoking did, so do make sure you drink plenty of fluids, especially water to keep hydrated. You might find that it dries your skin too on your face, so get some good moisturiser or aqueous cream from your chemist.

Thanks for the advice. Ive got an Evod kit. Should the kit not make any crackly sound at all? At the minute it is
 
Also for a 10 to 15 a day smoker what would be the recommended strength of nicotine to use?
 
No it shouldn't crackle. Take the clearomiser of and blow through it holding a tissue cost to the mouth piece to catch any liquid then roll up tissue and ships out the mouthpiece. I had this problem too, just take longer slower draws and it should be OK.
 
I'm a fairly new vaper too and can relate. I've found sometimes the liquid itself can be a bit harsher than the next so decided to get a vv/vw mod now if I find ones a bit of a throat stabber I can just lower the power and get a far smother hit.
 
thanks again for the advice. Think i am going to try a lower strength of nicotine. Was going to order some juices today, noticed they are quite cheap on the website darkstarvapour. Does anyone know if the juices from this site are any good ?
