In the past week I posted in a thread or two about my disdain towards vapeing with 6 volts. This was my honest opinion at the time due to an unpleasant experience I had after building a few magnum mods and vapeing them for awhile. I found that using 6 volts was way too harsh on the throat for prolonged use. I was wrong, well partially.
I built a magnum mod with an adapter so I could use a 901 atomizer or 801. I then dripped some Non-PG liquid I had. It was like inhaling sand. It burned going down and caused my throat to be very irritated. It was not a pleasurable experience to say the least and I quickly abandoned the magnum mod after about two days of trying to make a go of it.
I did not give 6 volts a second thought writing it off as just too much voltage. Then I heard about the Prodigy and watched Steve’s video. I watched for a grimace or any visual sign of the same discomfort I experienced. There was none. Unfortunately, I had already posted my opinion of 6 volts in a thread and started doubting myself. Maybe there was something wrong with my mod. Maybe the atomizers I tried. I began to troubleshoot. After verifying voltage with a meter, changing atomizers, etc… I had no change. Then it dawned on me. I had only used NON-PG liquid. I quickly located some PG PS banana I had left over from a sampler pack and dripped three drops on the atomizer and hit the magnum mod. Within a few puffs the horrid irritation began to fade and the PG juice was very pleasant. It was a bit warmer than vapeing on 3.7 volts and the vapor was much thicker, as thick as VG on 3.7 if not a little thicker. The flavor was muted slightly but was still present and enjoyable. I continued vapeing throughout the evening without any of the harsh throat issues I had experienced with the VG liquid.
I can only surmise that when heated with an atomizer at 6 volts the sugar or other impurity of the VG causes irritation. Whatever impurity in the VG that causes this is not present in PG. Additionally, at 6 volts there is no need to spike the liquid with VG as the PG liquid produces an excellent volume of vapor.
So, Steve, please accept my apologies for peppering a thread with an opinion based on incomplete information. Please accept this post and order # 16374 as a retraction of my previous statements.
Bottom-line:
6 volts + 801 atomizer + PG Liquid = Awesome

I'm really looking forward to experimenting!!
