Please help a newbie

[Sian1982]

Hi ya everyone...
So I'm new to the forum and new to vaping. I'm not a smoker (cigarette, cigar, vapes or other). I suffer with migraines and have been advised by a Dr to try vaping CBD oil, so I have purchased a vaporesso gen nano and CBD oil 1000mg (I have a 0.2 and 0.6 coil) I have tried using the 0.6 at 20w and vents half open and also tried with them closed and the hit to my lungs is too much for me, a non smoker, what would be anyone's advice please, I need the least hit to my lungs (as I'm asthmatic and obviously a light weight lol) but a good strength to help with my migraines. I'm not bothered about battery use as it will only be used when I have a migraine attack. Also any advice from any other migraine sufferers would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help, advice given...

Hi @Sian1982 and welcome.
Although i can't advise on CBD i can see that the kit you have purchased is not suitable.
Probably poor advice from a shop just trying to sell what they want not what the end user needs.

You'll need a mouth to lung set up for vaping what you've bought.

Welcome @Sian1982

As ripple says the kit you have is a bit too much for cbd. The mod (battery part) is fine but the tank is more for direct lung vaping so will be too strong for you trying to take a draw like you would a cigarette. The airflow on the tank doesn't suit mtl vaping either.

Rather than a full new kit you'd be better buying a new tank for the cbd liquid. Vaporesso do a tank called the gtx 18 which takes 1.2ohm coils that are rated at 7-11 watts. This tank is perfect for the nano mod and will greatly reduce the power and hit you're getting at the moment. All you'd need to do is set up the tank and adjust the power on the mod.

There are other really good mtl tanks you could buy. The freemax fireluke 22 is good, the aspire nautilus 3 would suit and a lot of people like the Innokin zenith tank.

I hope you find something suitable. I get migranes very occasionally and know how horrible they can be.

I agree with others that you'd be better off with a mtl tank than a dtl on the Gen Nano and I don't know much about CBD oil but as you're a non-smoker isn't there another way of taking it rather than vaping?

Hi guys, thanks for the help, I just assumed the smaller tank and mod would be better for a newbie like me...
I thought the oils would be good but Dr said vaping is better but I do have the oils so may try them too. Thanks again

I agree with Netvaper, seems strange a doctor recommended vaping they normally only recommend vaping to smokers as an alternative. I think you ought to research CBD oil there are other ways to use it. I had an brief look into it I’m sure you can get drops etc, research is the key to your situation but the choice is yours. Vaping might not suit you. By the way welcome to the forum.

Hi TP 72, thanks for the welcome and advice..
I thought the same, but I know that the vape was advised so that as I'm having my aura of a migraine on the way, I use the vape (not sure of how many puffs) and it should cut it dead before the pain part kicks in... I have drops but never seemed to get much relief but I was using it as a every day thing not as pin relief if that makes sense?!

Hi @Sian1982 and welcome to the planet.

cant add much to the great advice above.
as said, sounds like bad advice from the shop.
most coils starting 0.xx ohms are more for clouds at medium to high wattage.
cbd is best with high ohm mouth to lung coils like 1.8, 1.5, 1.2 which use around 8-15watts and is a much tighter draw.
what sort of cbd are you using. 1000mg is mid range. is it a ready mixed flavour with cbd or flavourless cbd that you add a few drops to zero nicotine eliquid.

I have 1000mg mango Kush flavour CBD that I'm guessing I pour into the tank/coil... So I need a higher ohm coil? Thank u
