Hey guys i am new to vaping and got turned on to this by a good friend .He suggested i get the Joye Ego and Vk 2.0ohm Cartomizer's to start out for best start up experience.So far i do like it i just have yet to find a juice i can vape all day.I would like to find a good juice that is tobacco flavor But has a Thick Robust Vapor it produce's.As that is what i liked about analogs is the thick cloud it produced any suggestion's or mods you would Recommend for my Joye Ego to help along the way would be Greatly appreciated.

For juices i tend to not like the Nutty tobacco taste like in Ry4 or Wyat Earp.But i do like a good solid throat hit

I can honestly say that I never once smoked a cigarette that produces the clouds of vapor that I get with vaping 100% vg juice. If it is the vapor that really does it for you, I would suggest this..or even 50/50 juice gives me more visible vapor than I ever got smoking, and this would also give you more of that throat hit that you seem to like. As for the flavor I cant help with that. I am not a fan of tobacco flavors. If I wanted to taste tobacco, I would still be smoking. heh. While I do appreciate your desire for tobacco flavors, I seriously suggest that you try broaden that horizon a bit. You might be surprised at the flavors you do enjoy besides tobacco.

Generally real nicotine TH and and tons of vapor are mutually exclusive. VG makes the big persistent vapor and VG dulls TH and flavor. VG can also be very thick and not spread well in tightly-stuffed cartos which can leading to singeing.

Avejuice has VG juices with a ton of throat sensation - I say sensation rather than TH because it is a sting that persists so I think maybe it is a bit of pepper juice or other TH-simulating additive. Problem is their juices are very thick. Ask someone else if they work well in the cartos you are using.

What PG/VG are you using now? If you are using 100% PG, that's the least vapor you can get. At least try some PG/VG blend like 70pg/30vg or for more TH 80pg/20vg

Flue cured tobacco from health cabin in china is cheap and good. I also a bottle of flavor and some vg as well. I find that if I Oder a higher strength nic mix and the mix in another 5 percent flavor and 15 percent vg I get more a better tasting mix with the extra vg producing much more vapor. It's all a personal preference thing though. Freight from china is around a week and fifteen dollars so need to make the order a event size.

Thanks for the quick replys.


So far i have tried 50/50 80/20 70/30 ratio;s and 50/50 and 70/30 are my favorite of those with 18mg i may step up to 24mg to see how i like that.I am currently looking to see what mod's i can do as it seems i empty my carto out of fluid very easy while vaping as i am a Heavy Vapor taking 3-5 sec hit's.But i dont know if i should go with something that has more Volt's as some seem to say they hit better and taste better also or perhaps just throw a Ego Tank on it for ease of fluid change and i think they hold more fluid i could be wrong .

I Have tried a few diff flavor's but tobacco will be my staple for every day vap but i do cut it sometimes with some Blueberry or Coconut.As far as Dessert flavors i just cant see my self liking those to much.I have heard good things about Coffe blend flavor's

Congrat on your two weeks, and hopefully many more to come!
Regarding juice, MadVapes Top Vapor - tobacco has as close to the analog ashtray taste as I've found. :)

I've found a good TH and satisfaction using menthol juice (no tobacco, just menthol),
and I was a "never touch a menthol cig" smoker, who smokes candy cigarettes? YMMV

A cigarette flavor is tough to duplicate, or describe. If you stop and think about it did
you smoke for the flavor or nicotine?

Really the most think i enjoyed about a ciggerate was the thick vapor you could fill when you hit it and that nice strong TH.So far i have only been able to reproduced 1 of the 2 either good hit and no vapor or lots of vap and no hit.I did try to take a Draw from a Camel today and i must say it was the most nasty taste i can remember.Amazing how your taste buds change after you start vaping.But i think it may be a mental issue with me as i am so use to seeing this large cloud of smoke and that hit that even if i do get a good TH and dont see enough vapor i think i am not getting enough it is hard for me to explain .

I think I know what you mean somewhat, I settled on a 50/50 mix for juice as the extra VP in the blend gave me enough vapor to satisfy the visuals. That and a little experience in how hard to draw and for how long to produce the most vapor may be all you need. Starting out I had almost to concentrate on my puffing to get a cloud, but it became much easier with practice. :)

They are technique to taking a puff on a ecig compared to normal one i am learning lol.But i really am enjoying this so much better i feel healthier and seems as if i can breath so easy now.Also i was curious i am using a 600ish ma battery would stepping up to a 900mah increase anything besides the amount of time i can vape as compared to the stock 600

The mah of a battery only tells how long it will last. The voltage under load, (3.2 for and ego) in combination whith the resistance of the atty, gives you haow many watts you're vaping. Easy way to tell is Wattage Chart, I like around 5.5 - 6 watts, you can vary the voltage or the resistance to get whatever is your sweet spot.
For an ego battery, 2.0 ohms is about as low as is safe for the internal electronics, if you're looking for more power a mod or 5v PT would be the options. :vapor:

Are they any mod's you would recomend for the Joye Ego or just step up to a Full on Mod unit?

If you're already using a 2.0 ohm carto on your ego there isn't much more you can push it to do.
An easy step up would be 2xAA Box Mod with slow change LED and red horn switch from MadVapes, it takes a 14500 battery, which is common enough that if you find it hits you well, easy to step up to a fancy (expensive) mod. :)
