Finding the right combo for more vapor and th production

[MitchW]

This is my first post so bear with me please.
I have a 510 coming and have read for days in this forum and would like to know if i should go with a 5 volt battery mod or go with a LR atomizer to get good vapor production and TH. Right now I have a 510 with cartomizers and a passthrough coming tomorrow.
I'm a 2 pack a day smoker using RYO and am looking to replace that with e-cigs but don't have much money to spend.
Thanks in advance for you're response.

Not sure the exact specs, maybe someone will chime in here, but I believe a 5V regular atty and a 3.7 LR Atty are very close in watts, which would be a similar experience. I have 5V and it provides exceptional TH and vapor, I also have a 3.7 but have yet to try a LR atty. I use both at times, because the 5V can get excessive to me.

well there are two rather cheap ways to choose, you can get a 5v passthrough if you dont already have one on the way or tastyvapor has really cheap ego batteries and an LR atty is only 7-10 bucks. so for just 30 dollars you can try one or the other.

Personally i have a LR atty on my ego and loving every min of it

depending on which atty and all that but usually the reg atty on a high volt mod (5v-6v) is around 10.5 watts where as the LR 510 atties at 1.5 ohms are around 9.3, alot of people like to stay between 8-10 watts

does the Ego put out 5 volts or 3.7 with just longer lasting charge?

my mistake, the ego is a 3.2 volt device with depending on which type of battery can range from 650 to 1000 mah.

which is a considerable ammount compared to the reg 510 or kr808

Hi Mitch and welcome and good luck

Relax........if you already have a 510 and a passthrough on it's way, you are in great shape for getting started. Do you know if the passthrough is 5v or 3.7? If it has no battery box then it is already 5v and will give you a chance to try that. Wait til you see what you have before rushing to conclusions as to what you may need next.

Everyone here is very helpful but I think we quickly become accustomed to buying something else to solve a problem.....doesn't look to me like you have identified a problem yet, and you may be a lucky one who gets it just right on your first order (certainly looks like you got some good advice on your choices)

VAPE ON!

EDIT: the eGo actually puts out around 3.2v, much like the standard 510 batteries. This means there is actually room to upgrade to a true 3.7v device prior to even considering 5v. Try what you have coming first..........go from there.

I've been reading on here till I'm on overload while i wait for my order to show tomorrow so I don't remember the specs on all that I've read. I am really interested in a chuck but can't afford that since I made the newbie mistake of buying a Blu kit before finding this forum, i then bought just the basics to start me with a 510. I was thinking that a LR atomizer might tide me over till i can afford a 5 volt output setup until i can afford more supplies, I've also bought 11mg and 18mg liquid and replacement filler material.

Welcome, for me I been using the LR atty for both the 510 and my Ego...The ones I have work good, but don't expect them to last as long as a normal atty...Also, the battery will need charging faster...But very good vapor and TH....Good luck and Enjoy...

 

[MitchW]

I purchased a Joye High powered passthrough with a set of cartomizers and a regular 3.7 atty to use with my regular carts.
The order says i got a Manual DSE901 USB Passthrough with an adaptor.

The ego actually only puts 3.2 volts to the atomizer coil.


To reply to the original poster, if you are on a tight budget you should look at the modders forum - you can buy a couple of lithium batteries and a flashlight and have a 5 or 6 volt device pretty easily - that will provde you a massive throat hit and use standard atomizers and cartomizers etc.

I should add that if that isn't for you, I would jump straight to a 3.7 volt mod with LR atomizers and a drip tip.

If that doesn't work - it's time for a 6 or 7.4 volt device.

Relax.......

Best advice right now, we all know about info. overload!

Relax, you have made great choices thus far. Not everyone requires or enjoys 5v or more......I rarely use it myself as most juices taste worse on it to me (that's just my opinion) and it does increase costs due to using more juice and more attys will die more quickly. What you have coming may indeed be satisfactory to what you are looking for.

see??? you already have a 5v passthrough on the way.......now get out to that mailbox and setup your lounge chair so you can be ready to jump the mailman.

 

[MitchW]

I should try and relax, that's the best advice for now as possibly even my Blu kit might do just fine for me. I just want to replace my analogs with e-cigs asap and the info overload is just too much from having read constantly for 3 days now.
I have high hopes for my passthrough but only ordered one atomizer and don't want to burn it out newbie style by using it wrong.

 

[MitchW]

That's exactly what I'll do Mick and thanks to all of you for the quick response.

The 510 will provide everything most of us need in terms of vapor production AND throat hit. PG liquids with a VG component will provide you with both. For the maximum TH with significant vapor you could order an 80/20 PG/VG mix. Lots of people use the 50/50 mix and are happy at that level.

Personally, heavy throat hit makes me cough and the 100% pg tends to try my throat. I jump back and forth and mix in a little PG with my VG to suit my taste. You can do that as you refill you cartridge by counting drops. This is called stacking by some. You alternate a drop of this and a drop of that and remember what you did in case you want to recreate the one you like. This is probably best done with a polyfill plug (short piece of polyfill). You pull the plug, add the drops and they mix in the chamber. Replace the plug and vape. It's harder to get a good mix with a full filler since the liquid is suspended in the filler.

Lots of us add a drop or two of cherry, chocolate, or vanilla to add some personality to the vapor. There's no accounting for taste and we all have our favorites. There are people here who like bacon flavored juice. I haven't tried it, so I won't knock it, but I'm still a tobacco flavor lover who likes to vary the mix from time to time.

PG = throat hit and more taste
VG = cooler, lighter throat hit, and clouds of vapor

Order some of each and you will find the right combo. Most of the nicotine is absorbed in the mucous membranes of the mouth and nasal passages. If you puff slowly over a period of several seconds, then hold the vapor in your mouth for a few more and then inhale, you can get a nice throat hit from an all VG liquid and a huge cloud of vapor to boot.

 

[MitchW]

Thanks Dave, I'll order some VG and try that, I don't know whether i will like a good TH yet ad mine is already burnt out from smoking too many analogs for the past few days while waiting for the kits to arrive.
I think I'll start with my 11mg mixture and try what you've said and i did read about how to hit this thing but know that I'll have a "Getting used to e-cig" period and just don't want to fry my atomizer right off the bat. I also ordered a syringe to fill my cartomizers with and some tobacco flavored liquid that will also come this week.

*Update* I recieved both my BLU and 501 systems today and am very happy with the results. The Blu doesn't put out as much vapor but does vapor over a long period and i even tried a couple of drips right on the atomizer with my e-liquid that worked well also.
The 510 with the HV passthrough makes much more vapor and has a better TH that chocked me the first times i tried a big hit. All in all, I'm very happy for now and thanks again for all your support every one.
