Bigger hits

[saltysteve]

How can i get bigger hits, if possible?
Reo mini 2.0 with 18490 and Cisco 306

Is it in the juice? Better tip? Smoke two at a time!?!?

Salty, I can't help you with that, but it seems everyone's gone to a movie or something, but someone will be back to help you...


oh, and if you have a large mouth and are ambidexterous, you could try vaping with one Reo in each hand for more throat hit/vapor...

if your talking about throat hit alot of thats in the juice. nic level and flavor among other things.
try a peppermint or cinnamon juice they have massive throat hit. lower ohm attys also give a hotter vape whitch can be a bigger hit.

Are you talking throat hit or vapor production? I vape cola flavors for throat hit. My all day vape is DIY with cherry cola extract from Mad Vapes. My recipe is 5% distilled water, and 5% flavor- the water produces a warmer vape than vodka IMHO. Blue Mist makes a Fizzy Cola that's very throaty too.

REO, Boge 2 ohm cartos, and Cherry Cola 100% vg juice. I tried a 306, but never really got the hang of squonking atties.

Hi Saltysteve
So what do you mean by bigger hits? More vapor volume? Bigger throat hit? More heat?

Sorry to say but in order to change your vape, your going to have to switch your Atty, or kick your mini 2.0.
I would try a different atty, like an HH357 or an aero from avidvaper. The HH atty packs the biggest punch I have found.
You can also open the holes up on your atty a bit to allow more airflow. There is a thread on the reo subforum called drilling out holes in atties. That might solve your issue.
It's an issue some of us face. It's called being a vapor pig, I believe our beloved redeyedancer coined the term. I am 100% vapor pig! SUEEEY!

Hey guys, thanks for writing! Well what i mean by bigger vaps is more vapor!! Looking for a hookah effect. I feel like sometimes my hits are ok and sometimes pretty weak. Throat hit would be nice to but I'm getting basically none of that since im not using nicotine. Do i really have to use 2 reos at once?? Or is there a better atty than a 306? And i like the 306 but it's be a he'll of alot nicer if it produced double the vapor!!

Aha....so more questions. What is the resistance of the atty you're using? What is the pg/vg ratio of the juice you're using? What is the flavor of the juice you're using?

Vapor production:
In my experience, the 306 has been a fantastic vapor producing atty. However, the only time it hasn't been for me is when I have flooded it. Too much juice in the atty stops the coils from getting hot enough to produce vapor in the quantity you're looking for. So my first guesses are...
1) the atty needs to be lower resistance.
2) the juice needs more VG base.
3) your technique needs tweaking.
There may be other issues, but these are my top 3.

Throat hit:
So you're doing zero nic....that's a toughie. However, I know certain flavors produce more throat hit than others. So things like cinnamon, menthol, and tobacco flavors will hit harder. Keep in mind that most tobacco flavors will inherently have nic in them so that is out. I have also heard that you can add distilled water or PGA (a drop or 3) and that will increase TH, but does nothing for the flavor. Also, PG base will give you more TH than VG...but again, the VG is what produces more vapor.

I know there will be more answers...as there are much more knowledgeable folks in here who can offer you their wisdom. I sure hope you find something that helps.

Wow awesome answer!! I didn't know alot of that.
I'm using a Cisco 1.8 with a aw imr 3.7 18490 battery.
What exactly is kicking ?
Got juices from alien...
0 nic PV ...
Chocolate mint
Watermelon

You could try using a 1.5-1.7Ω atty...but 1.8 is decent for most. Would you consider your vapor warm? Lowering the resistance too much may burn your sweet juices. I prefer mine at 2.0Ω most of the time.

The Kick is a variable Watt device that is kind of a plug n play deal. You install it on top of your battery...in this case, an 18350. The only downside to that is you limit the battery life that way. Here is a link so you can read up on it... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/238603-kicked-reo-grand-18490-a.html

AV juices are mostly VG. Massive Choc Mint is one of my favorites.

So based upon your answers here, I'm going to guess that the reason behind your less than stellar vapor production is that you're keeping your atomizer too wet. Cisco 306s and AV juice go very well together and produce plooms of vapor...in my experience, anyway. Try blowing out your atomizer then put it back on and vape it without adding more juice just once and tell me if you see better vapor.

I've gotten good TH with the Massive Choc Mint, but mine has nic, so that could be the reason...and I'm not a TH junky. I'm not your regular DIYer so I can't give you good instruction on how to tweak your juice. But it could be that some of your lacking TH may come from lack of volume. I know sometimes I mistakenly address TH, when I'm looking for that full lung feeling.

Aside from all this, it may be a good idea to bust out your multi meter and check your ohms on your attie and check your volts on your battery as well...you know, just in case.

HH357 long barrel 510. Me thinks you need one . It is a gamble that you will like it, at 22 bucks, but those who like them LOVE them for the most part. (myself included)
