    Default Need help with throat hit

    I have been using a 510 for about two weeks now and love it, But my throat hit has up and left me. I get good vapor but no throat hit. I'm using 24 mg juice. And after about 4-6 drags i get a burnt taste as well but i just chalked that up to taking big hits. Getting harder to pass up those analogs my co workers are smoking

    I suggest swishing the addy in rubbing alcohol for about 3-5 minutes, then draining over night my standing it upright on a paper towel. Do this once a week or so. Also, either replace the cartridge, or clean it as I just wrote in this thread.

    If you're using it like a pacifier and puffing on it all day, your throat will adjust a bit and you wont get as much throat hit. Or at least that's what happens to me. Sounds like you could refill more often too. Look into the Straw Mod as well. And yes, make sure your atty and cart are cleaned out once in a while.

    Right. When the atty gets dry it tastes this way. As I'm sure you
    know. There's even a thread around here where people are talking
    about what it tastes like to vape with a dry atty. I've seen burning
    hair, metallic taste, etc. One guy said it was like smoking zombie
    fingers.

    I just said that hitting dry attys tasted like smoking D i c k Cheney's
    ear wax, and I left it at that. Not that I'd know.

    If you are vaping heavily, you are just getting used to the throat hit and becomine numb to it. Drink plenty of water to clean your palate. Also try using different flavor e-liquids during the day. If you can put the device down for short periods of time, say 20-30 minutes, you may notice the throat hit again on the next few draws.

    You can have it all, sometimes your are gonna feel that the vapor break you throat and sometimes that you are vaping water,try different flavors and also very very low nic from time to time and a little very little touch of mentol at less twice a day, you have to cheat you palate, I have been going Thru this, and I still am,also ad some sweet flavor

    As for the burning taste are you still using the original polyfill that came with the carts? I noticed once the polyfill gets old it can loose throat hit and flavor and start to get a burning taste after a few drags. I have to put it down for 10-15 minutes before the burning taste goes away. In that case I have found the burning taste is due to the polyfill being old and not wicking well. I have found that a cart with fresh polyfill is good for 1 initial fill and maybe 3-4 top offs then it's time to restuff it again. The key for me has been not to stuff too much poly in there and make it about 1/2 - 5/8 as dense as the original stuff and it works wonders.
