Oh man, on Friday I placed an order for two packs of cartos from V4L (8mg Peach and Wintergreen) and they came today! I can't believe these ecig suppliers are so damn GOOD on getting orders out.
I started to get worried yesterday, after buying these 8mg cartos and 45ml of 6mg juice (still on its way) that I wouldn't be getting much flavor / vapor / throat hit, and not really having enough experience to really isolate any of the three. The worries popped up because I was running low on cartos, was getting sick of the menthol cartos we have and hit the local tobacco shop for the Encore branded $15 cartos. I asked for the 8mg vanilla, they said they had 16mg and 6mg so I went with 6mg. These things hardly produced any vapor, much the less throat hit, and they tasted terrible when I was able to get vapor out of them, like plastic. So of course I did some reading and stumbled upon a bunch of people saying that low nic percentages provide very little throat hit and nic is the one thing that provides the throat hit. Imagine my face when I read it, Sir Cheapskate, happy owner of 45ml of 6mg nic juice, freshly quit and still very much interested in some amount of vapor and throat hit. So all of yesterday I was freaking out, getting down on myself, but still hoping that Encore just sells crappy cartos. I get these V4L pre-filled's today, put the peach on the battery, inhale and BAM, plenty of throat hit and way more flavor than any carto I've had (all from Encore).
I'M SO STOKED I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS.
