What's the ohms of your crown 3's coils? Before nice salts I played around with ohms and nic levels and found that they were user dependent... What I mean is this: 0.5 ohms = 6mg 1.0 ohms = 12mg 2.0 ohms = 24mg I usually Vaped 3mg back on subohm coils. I now use multiple ultra portable vapes (breeze, campak, iShare, Mi-Pod) and I've found that the 36mg is about perfect. You don't want to be taking long or repetitive pulls off these little guys since ur likely to burn the coil out faster so I suggest going hogher than you'd expect and vaping less. Also, throat hit is not going to come from nic salts. They are extremely smooth. I've noticed certain brands are more or less harsh, however, such as Mr. Salt-E and Naked 100. I only buy from Vape Joose now as they transitioned to only nic salts and their flavors are damn smooth. Hope this helps a bit. I've been out of the game for some time [emoji12] YouTube.com/vaporhut
