Oily Juice Residue?

[Major Tom]

Hi Guys and Gals,

I hope you are all doing well!

New vaper here, on my 3rd day of not smoking so I'm really new!

I'm currently using an innokin adept zlide kit with 1.6ohm coils and 50/50 juice (12mg).

I've been using Dinner Lady's juices, as they seem really well reviewed, but whenever I've taken a hit my mouth feels like it's been lined with oil, with a drip down my throat.

I've seen people say this is normal, it's from a chemical in the juice, to people saying your vape isn't working correcting and your basically drinking the liquid, which I do not want to do. It's not unpleasant, it tastes really good actually, the flavours are amazing but just keep thinking this isn't right and don't want to do any harm to myself. Im just struggling as I'm brand new to vaping and don't have anything to go off.

I just don't know what to do, if it's normal, then great! This is amazing! If it's not, I'll have to decide what I'm going to do to substitute my craving while getting new kit.

Thank you!

Hi @Major Tom and welcome to the planet.

i cant help much on this one as i dont have that kit or use 50/50 juice much but there are plenty of mouth to lung vapours who love this kit so will be along to advise soon.
dinner lady do a great range of juice so nothing to worry about there.
usually juice in mouth is to do with having a flooded coil or overspill into centre chimney when filling the tank.
ill tag a couple to see if they can advise @Simon G @eyeball kid

mmmm, not sure really ....

vapour isn't like smoke, it's 'wet' in a sense I guess, so more like steam.... and those dinner lady liquids are pretty sweet too which can leave a lingering sweetness that could feel like 'residue' I guess?

You have a good kit (and very easy to use) and suitable liquid, so I'm inclined to suggest it's normal and you'll get used to how it feels vaping instead of smoking.

....also just to put your mind at rest, it extremely unlikely you are doing yourself any harm. (and definitely less harm than smoking!)

Without trying it myself I don't know if your gear is working correctly, but if it's creating vapour and when you exhale vapour comes out of your mouth then it probably is.. the adept kit is about as simple as it gets, I think you'd know if it wasn't working right.

Has this happened on more than one coil? How are you priming the coil?
There is an element of getting used to vaping especially with sweet juices like dinner lady, however, if it is spitting then it sounds like the coil could have flooded or there is juice in the centre chamber.
I'd be tempted to empty the tank, take the coil out, get a new coil, put a few drop of liquid in each wicking hole, pop in the tank, fill it up then let it sit for approx 15 mins then try vaping it. If it's the same then it's a case of getting used to it, if it's different then it's the previous coil.

As above, it really wouldn't hurt you if you drunk the bottle (not advisable, you will sweat like a pig).
Your probably experiencing the flavour coating your mouth and tastebuds in vapour.
With smoking your used to a very dry smoke inhalation. Obviously eliquid is a liquid mist so will have a different sensation. Add that the flavour is actually pleasant and often sweet, it can seem different.
If your using the zenith within the regulated wattage (I'd keep to the lower end of the coil recommendation for longer life) I can't imagine anything has gone wrong. Very good tank.
doesn't sound flooded or that any issue's have occurred to me. Just the sensation of vape instead of smoke.

Provided you're not getting an excessive amount of raw juice in your mouth you should be fine. As it's producing really nice flavour it sounds like it's working really well.

Vaping doesn't produce smoke, it produces watery steam that carries the flavour and nicotine within it. The more flavour you can taste the more liquid is being carried into your mouth on each puff.

Because you are so new to vaping it's probably a lot to do with your body getting used to a new and different sensation but if you're enjoying the taste I'm sure that feeling will settle down and you'll be just fine.

also.... if you are getting liquid rather than vapour in your mouth, just give it a flick out.... put a bit of kitchen roll over the mouth piece and just flick it quickly and any liquid hanging around where it shouldn't be will just fly out. Usually solves any 'flooding' issues quickly and easily... although the zlide isn't prone to flooding at all.

Vg is kind of of oily I suppose, this is what you are probably experiencing.

Certain juices tend to cover my mouth with a layer, particularly banana milkshake, maybe that's what you are experiencing.
