510 e cig help please?

[cassiegiorgiante]

Hi everyone, i was advised that if i added some vodka or some other form of pure alcohol that it couild help with the throat hit for my 510. i dont believ it has helped any really. Mabe i need to actually get nicotine juice to get that throat hit? Is anyone else out there vaping without the nicotine and found a way to get the throat hit with your 510?

The other thing i have considered is getting a new low resistent atomizer? anyone tried this and ho w did it go??

Also another question for anyone out there with 510, do you use regular catridges, or do you use the cartomizers (meant to hold more liquid so less refills) just that when i tried the cartomizer it didnt produce enough vap compared to regular catridges. what do other people use out there?

Have only been vaping a short time as not happy with my e cig just yet. Until i can get better throat hit i am not able to stick with it. Not sure if i need to add nicotine, more vodka, get better cartridges, get a new e - cig, or better juice. Its all so confusing and too much to choose from!! Agghh!

Vaping alcohol or oils is very bad for your lungs... You should stop doing it immediately. Many zero nic PG liquids provide decent throat hit.

I can't get them in Canada, but I hear Johnson Creek makes great zero nic liquids that provide nice Throat Hit. I believe it is their Red Oak line.

It is not recommended that you use a LR atty on a standard 510 you need a 650mAh or higher battery. LR attys kill the standard 510 batterys quickly. As Crow said 100%PG liquid does have a rather harsh TH but most people don't like 100% PG it can be very irritating to the throat.

I would think your best option would be to get an Ego or clone with a big battery then you can use LR attys or even jump into a battery mod.

We're still using juice with nic but... I just drip but hubby is using the xl ce2 ( a clear cartomizer) he likes it but says he doesn't get as much vapor as I do. I took a puff off one and it tasted horrible burnt to me (which I've seen some mention on the clearos but others say they don't get that). He seems ok with the TH tho. I just prefer my drip tip easy maintenance but I'll have to settle on something to use when I drive before I have to leave town with it...lol

As in you have to recharge them more often or actually can damage the battery?

Both, I think.

Someone with a better background in electronics may correct me on this, but I think a low resistance atty, depending on resistance, would CERTAINLY shorten the time between charges dramatically, and with a 510, that's a serious drawback.

It would also POSSIBLY cause more battery draw than your battery could handle, which might, as I understand it, drop the voltage on your battery too low to be recharged. Ever. Kaput. Gonzo.

About throat hit- the 510 is a vapor producing monster for such a little cig, imo. You should be able to get adequate (thought perhaps not excellent) TH out of a 510. I'm thinking it's the juice.

I'm also thinking that nicotine may provide some TH, but isn't necessary. I'm currently vaping 11mg to 24 mg, depending on what I feel like. And one of my 24mg juices has virtually NO throat hit. One of the elevens is great. So it's got to be other factors.

I'd keep trying different juices-

My understanding is that the higher current draw can destroy the protection circuits in the 510s pretty quickly. I've seen some posts that say that even the eGos will go from that. It just takes longer.

E-Power Replacable Battery eGo kit!

jumps the ego train and the battery mod chain. everything you need to vape at lr. i imagine if you email madvapes they might be able to switch out one or both of the atomizers with an lr they also sell on their site.

the reason lrs kill egos is becuase of the mosfet switch. it cant handle the current draw. if im wrong somebody please correct me.
anyways my 2 cents.

You could add Qhit. It is a flavor that freedomsmokeusa.com sells(flavorart makes it)....it is suppose to add to the throat hit.

You can't put an LR atty on a slim battery ecig. You will kill the battery, maybe not immediately but fairly quickly.

Alcohol - has to be an edible alcohol - some claim Pure grain alcohol, vodka or gin can add some TH to eliquid
Some say acidic flavors have more TH
There are TH additives like QHit (see FreedomSmokeUSA, OneStopDIYShop and elsewhere). And Pepper juice (FreedomSMokeUSA)

And you can buy flavors that have some built-in throat sensations - mints, menthols, ginger flavor, cinnamon, other spices, sometimes liquor flavors

And you can buy an exig that will let you vape hotter - I got a Riva lite bundle for under $30 at Liberty-Flights.com (visit the front page first and click 20% off in the upper left - I had to use Internet Explorer to see it). Then click Riva 510 on the left and look at the Riva 510 Lite Bundle. That bundle comes with LR attys and I'm going to try LR cartomizers on it too. The Riva charger and another LR are for the Riva only. Anything else can be shared between 510 and Riva (any standard resistance stuff). The Riva seems to vape standard stuff slightly warmer (some say it's 3.4v vs 3.2v for the slim 510). but the real heat will be with LR stuff on Riva.

Re 510 - I use cartomizers (Boge ones, and I hate the SLB ones). The standard resistance Boge carto gives me more vapor on the Riva than on the 510. I am happy with them on both and I can't wait to try LR Bog cartos on the Riva.

You're vaping a juice with 0 nicotine?

damage the battery

 

[dormouse]

Yes actually damage the battery. The slim ones are not built to handle the heat and current flow of LR attys and cartos. People tried. It killed the slim batteries.
