Hi & welcome ab
You may have burnt your coil and if so will need to replace it.
Or you may need to adjust how you draw, try just pulling the vape into your mouth & exhaling through your nose.
Then again your nicotine might be too high for you?

 

[Canadian_Vaper]

Did you prime the coil and let the tank sit for a few mins before vaping it?

Could you provide us with some more info?

What resistance are the coils that came with your kit?
They should be marked on the coil as either .5 or 1.2.

What ratio e-juice are you using?
Some vendors list the PG/VG ratio on the bottle, others do not.

What nicotine level are you using?
The bottle should list a milligram level, usually marked as "MG" or "X.X%"

The first time no but the second time yes...

I use .5 coil and for the juice it contains 18 mg nicotine PG, and btw i tried cigarettes before it does not burn my throat like that

if you didn't prime the coil the first time it may be fried 18mg may be too high in that sub ohm tank & what is the Vg/Pg ratio?

The first time no but the second time yes...

And there is your answer. You burnt your coil right off. You need to replace your coil and apply your eliquid to the inside of the coil and the two openings of your coil Before you fill your tank and put it all back together. Let it set a few minutes and then turn your wattage down before you fire it again.

With the .5 coil, 18mg nicotine is possibly going to make you nic sick...

I soak the sides of the coil and the tank and then used it, are you sure that it got burnt? And what do u mean by nic sick

 

[Gfdeputy2]

nic sick = too much Nicotine
you stated The first time no but the second time yes
after the first time it is to late you most likely burned up the coil

 

[Robert Cromwell]

If you are talking about using the same coil then you burned the coil and it is non recoverable once you burn the cotton wicking in it. And 18 mg nic is way too high for a subtank. It will vape very harsh. 18 mg is fine in a cigalike device or in a small low wattage tank.
6 mg is about as high as most go in a subtank.

I only found juice with 18 mg nicotine that was cheap the other juices were very expensive and i didnt check how much did they contain nicotine

Sounds like you are getting dry hits for sure there bud!

What does that mean?

Hmmm have you got any unflavoured VG or PG?

18MG is fairly high for a sub-ohm tank. As people have said you've either burnt the coil, or the Nicotine level is far too high. 18MG for someone who smoked a hookah occasionally seems way too high to me.

Try replacing the coil, but be sure to prime it, fill your tank, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before taking your first puff.

If you continue to get the burning sensation, I would purchase a much lower MG juice.

 

[Gfdeputy2]

I would say both of those are your issue
Burnt coil & high nic = very bad taste

 

[Haza]

Ok when a coil has no liquid it tastes like if an ... had an ... that's what it would taste like

 

[Haza]

If you have some unflavoured VG or PG you can try either cutting down the nic in your juice by mixing a little in with it or even try priming a coil with the unflavoured PG/VG and seeing if you get the same burning feeling when you vape it.

that's your problem right there, 18mg is to high for the .5 coils, use the 1.2ohm coil and try it at about 19 watts, don't forget to put a few drops of juice on the coil before installing it.
