E-Lite vs SD

[eddy-r3]

Ok so ive had my SD for nearly 24hrs and have found that with 24mg juice i cannot vape it as much as my E-Lite that is also 24mg.

They're both PG, 24mg nic, could this be down to efficiency of the atty? and releasing more vapour than the cheaper, poorer e-lite?

Many thanks

You have to be more specific if your talking about juice. Since I never heard of those two. Got any links?Might wanna check out the DIY section to see ways to reduce the nic level in the juice itself. Although, that might effect the flavor of it:

OK so the 24mg juice that came with the SD is the TW Red label 10ml bottles of Totally Wicked Electronic Cigarette e.Liquid.

And the e-lite is - Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette UK | E Cig | E-Lites

Hope that helps!

What atomiser are you using with your Screwdriver? I assume as you mention TW your SD is. Mk2 with an 18350 battery. The SD will be working at a higher average voltage than the e-lites and will therefore be putting more through the atomiser - this will mean more vapour at hence more nicotine....

There shouldn't be any differences with vapor production, strenght, etc. Since you say that they are both 24 mg and PG. The important thing is the amount of PG that is in each liquid. Since it doesn't give a description of the PG/VG ratio on the Totally Wicked and the E-lites website. Which makes it impossible to tell why your noticing the problems your having right now. Unless one site is not being honest about the nicotine content in their juices. Although, it can be that the atomizer is starting to get dirty as well.

Thanks for the reply Beard, that was the conclusion that i was aiming toward, it is the MK2 and i am using the standard atty that it came with, i do feel that the vapour production is almost 3 fold compared to the elite. Not sure on the battery its the standard one that comes with the SD but i have to admit its a bigger hit than the elite.

I have some new liquids coming today, some 36mg, 20mg, 18mg, 11mg and 6mg so i am going to give them all a go, i would like something i can vape all day at regular intervals much like analogs, and i feel i cannot do this with the 24mg as i get headaches and have the 'runs'! LOL so once i have tried them, and chose something i am good with i will be selling the rest on or exchanging it for something i can use!

I doubt very much i will agree with the 36 or the 20mg after vaping the 24, its a lovely flavour and a real nice smooth vapour just too much nic for me to vape all day. Im hoping that i can get on well with 18-11mg although i would be happy with 8-6mg if i can vape all day!

Out of interest, what do you guys vape as a day in day out nic level?

Many thanks

The elite uses cartomizers and i change them regulary once they taste a little funky, they usually last me a day, although when i do put a new carto on, its fine and dont have any problems with it. The SD after i have vaped a carts worth (standard cart size, 3-4 drips of liquid) i find i have a headache, not terribley bad but noticable) also, im having a few extra trips to the loo! but i also hear that this is a known effect in the change from analog - vape

Many thanks

Maybe your vaping it too dry. A cartomizer should be topped off every 10-15 drags. Which is around 5 drops or more depending on how much liquid is left in there. A cart should (according to the 3-4 drops you mentioned) should be topped off with more liquid after about 5-6 drags.

Anyways, if your having a headache then depending on how many other symptoms you are experiencing. Could mean that you have a little nicotine overdose. You might wanna try reducing your nic level to about 18mg and see how that works for you. 24mg is better suited for PAD smokers that smoke full strength cigs.

There are some side affects from quitting cigs. Which include more energy and stuff of that nature. You might also be a little more on edge since you are having withdrawal symptoms. Haven't read headaches being a part of that process.

Thanks for the reply, its kind of funny i used to smoke 40 analogs a day, full strength and never had a problem! lol this is why im confused with the SD! All i have at the moment is 24mg but hopefully within an hour or so i will have a delivery of 5-6 different strengths so can try them

I attribute it all to too much nic as i am familiar with the symptoms that i am experiencing I am topping up my SD cart quite often as and when i use it, which isnt that much actually lol as i dont really like headaches so gone back to my elite for the time being, although in comparison the flavour sucks big hairy balls compared to the TW Red and the SD! So im missing out somewhat i have to admit!

Generally i feel good! Full of energy and very clear lunged and clear headed! WHich is a very nice change i have to admit, so other than the odd headache and rush to the loo i think its all good and totally nic related!

Thanks for the reply

...jeeeeze, are ya vaping 2ohm at 6R7 volts????? I vape 5ml/day and get 2 solid hours with a 2ohm Boge and 4 with the XL versions...at one hour, I can get around 1/2ml or between 10-20 drops with my bottles...if I had to top up every 10-15drags I would just direct drip and be done with it.............

Why don't you jump on Trog's web site (cavecom.com) to find out how to set up your SD to your liking.
While you are there also pick up a SD Key Ring. You will find that the cartomizers that come with the key ring are quite nice.

Funny, I gave my daughter both an eGo and a Key Ring for Christmas (her first PV's). The eGo is gathering dust, and the Key Ring is getting hammered.
