Almost there...but not quite. Any suggestions or recommendations?

[MG1963]

Hi all. Hoping for some input. I have been vaping for a few months and still smoking a few regular cigs per day. I am trying to get away from the cigarettes all together and wonder if I am chasing something that doesn't even exist! I started with a KR808D2, then KR808D1, upgraded to a bigger KR808D1 battery (Pigcig) and added LR cartomizers. So all this time this keeps getting better for me, and I've tried many juices and eventually decided that I like/need more PG for the throat hit. I just got my Provari and it performs fabulously....but why can't I get a consistent throat hit? The first few inhales are great but then it just drops off and I won't get that sensation again unless I wait an hour or two before I vape again. If I could duplicate that feeling of inhaling something (other than just plain air) consistently I'd walk away from the cigarettes and never look back. I am just so frustrated and desparately want to find a solution. My favorite juice is from Litecigusa, one of their Americano PG juices, which they have now discontinued. I still have several bottles though, and I bought the LR cartomizers to use on the Provari, usually vaping between 4.2 and 4.8. Do I need a harsher juice? I've tried ordering 100% PG from several vendors but I usually get the same result - starts out decent then drops off. Do I need a HR cartomzer to use even higher voltage on the Provari? Am I doing something wrong? I know it's not the equipment! Thanks for an input!

Well first of all you may want to try some BWB juices specially as a smoker the backo juice helped me to get off of cigs. Secondly I would not get all hung up in the juice bottles you have since you said they discontinued them and if you start loving them even more you won't be able to buy them anymore.

What helped me a lot was getting a HV atty for 6v vaping + the backo from BWB always gave me a sick TH. I am sure you get some more input soon and all the best you can do it!!

A lot of it is in your head. I hate to say it, but no combination of juice/PV/atty is going to get you to quit analogs for good.... Until you're ready to stop buying them and stop lighting them up.

Dig down, get some motivation, and just do it.

Give dripping a try.

What pg/vg ratio do you like from BWB to get that TH? and how is the vapor?

Something's wrong MG. I get consistent vapes all day long with my Infinity mod. The only time it drops off is if my atty is dying or in the 5 minutes before my batteries die. I do drip though so I never have problems with them going dry. I wonder if your carts are slow wicking and that's why you have to wait so long between good hits?

Try puttinga drop or two directly on the atty the next time it produces no vapor or throat hit and see if that fixes it. Then you will know it's the carts. Also get 1 bottle of the next higher mg Nic juice and hit that instead of smoking a cig when the urge is strong.

Thats true. higher nic will give you a stronger throat hit. I usually avoid agreeing with upping the nic but since you are still smoking it is the lesser of two evils.

I think that would solve your issues.

95% of throat hit is warmth of the vapor and nicotine strength. Warmth comes from bigger batteries (volts) which the OP has with the Provari assuming he is setting it at around 5 volts. That could be part of the problem. I've vaped both PG and all VG on my variable volt Darwin and get great throat hit from both using 24mg strength eliquid. The OP never told us what strength his eliquid is. So if he has the Provari set at around 5 volts and still is having an issue with throat hit, he needs to up the nicotine strength.

Another thing you can try is adding a few drops of some alcohol that you enjoy drinking to your juice. Some people find that that enhances the TH. I have tried this, and it worked for me. I used Everclear, which is some pretty harsh 151 proof grain alcohol, but it sure did the job! Good luck, hope you find a solution that works for you.

If you haven't tried a dual coil carto yet, DO. I can't overstate the simplicity. It's really nice to just load one up and have really consistent TH's all day long.

MG, you have a good VV device. Why do you feel hat you need LR cartos?
I suggest that you try using a regular 2.5-ish Ω carto or atty and bump up the voltage until you feel it. LR was intended to "mimic" high voltage. You have a device capable of giving you HV. Why not use it?
