Can't find the right set-up! Help!

[Nyxs]

Help! I'm having a horrible time trying to find the right set-up. What I want is a strong hit. I miss the burn and that deep inhale feeling that I used to get with cigs.

I order juice with extra flavor and that seems to help but I can't get the right set-up. I currently use variable voltage eGo 1200mh set at 4.8v. I've been using long wick clearomizers with 1.8 ohms as it seems to have the warmest/harsher hit. I've tried tanks and bottom wicks but the tanks constantly flood my battery and the bottom wicks seem to 'gurgle'.

Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated!

Hi and Welcome to ECF

This may help you out some http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html

And top coil tanks with lower resistance (precisely what you are using) has the warmest vape (excluding rebuildables) you may try flavors with a little cinnamon or menthol they are throat irritants and give many the throat hit they are missing.

Good Luck!!

You may also want to try using juices with a higher PG to VG ratio. I just mixed a 90% PG juice, it is a little lacking in the vapor department but it kicks like a mule.

What strength nicotine are you using in your e-liquids? Nicotine strength is the most important factor for "throat hit". Next is the percentage of Pg to Vg (Pg gives more throat hit than Vg).

Give cartomizers a try. Switching from a clearomizer to a cartomoizer was an "A HA!" moment for me.

You need to up your nicotine level. When I 1st started, I used 24 mg.

That's what i want. I get it too. With :

1) Any variable voltage device

2) Protank II. With most 100% vg e liquid solutions.

3) 36mg

A) Don't over fill (to the top) the Protank.

B) Turn up the voltage if the 100% e liquid solution is too thin and starts to gurgle when the tank is still loaded with liquid. If it continues to gurgle stem the flow with a little extra cotton wool on top of the wick.

C) When there is only 3 or 4 millimetres of liquid left in the tank and it starts to gurgle, disconnect it from the battery, take off the drip tip, cover the open end with tissue and shake it whilst holding it upsidedown. Reassemble and vape until it happens again and repeat the shaking process. After that you should be able to finish the tank with no more gurgling.

I go through this process with every tank full. It's how my Protank works !.

I used to smoke anything and everything. I need the satisfaction i used to get from smoking. I get that everyday. I hit it really hard when i feel the need.

4.8 volts with a 1.8 ohm coil seems rather high. You're warming the air but muting a lot of flavor and shortening the life of your coil heads..

Use higher PG juice for more throat hit and up the nicotine levels if you can handle the buzz.
Try different devices, since they all perform differently.

From my short past-life with clearomizers, I found the Iclear 16 and Aspire BDC to give very nice warm hits.

Good point, I'd stay around 3.7 volts on 1.8. I use a mechanical with a Sony VTC4 battery that holds a 3.7 volt charge like a champ with a 1.8ohm topper. It's a great, all-day vape.

if you can do a 24mg high pg juice on a variable wattage device at 10 to 15 watts should get you there unless you wanna go the rebuildable route cant go wrong with a dripper rda to get a soilid thraot hit

You guys are my HERO'S!! Thank you!!

I'm using 70pg/30vg 24mg liquid. I'll try and find a higher pg and up my nic to 36mg and see if that does the trick.You're right KJRxxx, I've been ordering my juice with 5 extra shots of flavor- that must be why I'm not getting enough flavor. I'm also going through heads way too fast.

evan le'garde- GREAT ADVICE! I can't seem to use a Protank- it constantly floods my battery. What am I doing wrong?

itskohler- why do you prefer cartomizers?

 

[KJRxxx]

Protank heads are known to flood, especially with high PG juice.

I also prefer cartomizers over clearomizers, specifically Boge slotted cartos. Great flavor and warmth, and have a loose draw so I can even do lung hits if I like.

I find the Smoktech cartos to be lacking flavor.

 

[itskohler]

I wanted a warmer hit, and cartomizers do that pretty well. The flavor, to me, is much better than clearomizers. Lastly, I think they look much better with a simple tank than clearos. I like simplicitiy though, I'm weird like that.
