Hello Everyone

[deeanne59]

And Hello MaryKay....sorry, I just saw your post to my thread from DAYS ago- so I just now joined your group. What I meant by throat hit in my statement....was no that harsh- burning feeling, it is more like a sudden "tightening" of the muscles in the back of the throat. The feeling only lasts a few seconds, but it "feels" to me like smoking an analog.

I have tried 0 nic homemade juices, but I get NO feeling out of them whatsoever- it just feels like I am sucking air.

Hi Dee! I am glad you took me up on the invite. I shamelessly look for members..lol!
I also have the Wrecked and Bonkers forum, but how do you ask someone to join..I see you have problems..join us! Sure and when they slap me upside the head..I will say 'What!"8-o
Oh I know what you mean by throat hit..as I said, I don't like it, not even when I smoked. Such a wimp!
The guys will tell you it's the size of the battery, the ladies say it's the amount of Nic..but I vape a 901 at 11mg to 0nic and STILL get them!
Look around find something you can't resist adding to..and go for it. I am sure the other ladies will be along soon to say HI.

Hi Dee!

 

[marg]

Welcome deeanne

 

[Cori]

Welcome to the Woman's Room Dee.. glad you found your way here and decided to join us. I had trouble when I first started vaping, to me it was way too much throat hit. I was vaping 24mg at the time. I reduced that to 16 and now I'm down to 11. Nic plays a big role in throat hit if thats what you seek. Again, welcome.

 

[deeanne59]

Thank you for the welcome everyone. I made a discovery last night. I made up some homemade 0 nic juice to try...and i used it on my 510 (my prime vape)- but this time, I used my PT hooked up directly to my AC using a USB/AC adapter instead of plugging it into my computer.

WOW!!!!! I got great throat hit from it, so much that it made me cough. I talked to someone I know that went to the Prodigy with 0 nic juice, and she told me that is the kind of hit (even greater) that I can expect with a higher voltage mod. So, I am ordering a Prodigy this week.

 

[Mary Kay]

Another reason I own a 901 and a NicoStick with a 901 atty. It delivers good taste without making me cough. Drat! I spoke too soon! I just vaped some melon (cantalope flavor) and got one..diluted with Glycerin and pg, it was 11 mg, probably now about 8mg..still I choked!!!

 

[deeanne59]

MaryKay...do you try a lot of different flavors, or just stick to 1 or 2?
I posted this question in another thread, but no one has answered yet.

 

[Mary Kay]

I do vape a lot of flavors, But I try to only vape 2 in one day. That's because when I finally got several flavors I swiched all the time and then couldn't taste any of them!
Now I pick two, one dark (choco, coffee, cola,RY4 ect) and a light (fruit or a mint) I put one in the 901 and the other in the NicoStick and switch up. That keeps me happy and doesn't give me flavor fatique.
I make the fruit flavors BTW no nic..or add P.G. and Glycerine to the ones I bought. By now I am pretty sure they are 0 nic.
You have to try a lot to find out which ones you like best. Try to get samplers from a supplier.

 

[deeanne59]

So far, I have either purchased flavored nic juice or Loranns flavorings to mix my own. I have tried that recipe maker webpage...but they don't seem to turn out right. I was planning to go 0 nic, because the supplies are easier to get (because of a possible ban). I might not be able to get down that low...not in a short amount of time- because I noticed that 18mg. juice wasn't keeping cravings at bay. I am trying to vape 24mg. to see if that helps. If it does, I may have to settle with stocking 36mg. or 48mg unflavored and mix my own to try to cut costs (except for buying TONS of Loranns and Capellas ).

Hi Deeanne.

Getting the Prodigy finally helped me break the 18mg plateau I was at. I haven't found a device yet that I couldn't get a throat hit from. Juice for me plays a bigger role. A little menthol though perks up even the worst juice. Hopefully with the Prodigy and menthol I can get to the 0 nic eventually. Will be a bit though as I've got quite a bit of liquid stashed away.

 

[deeanne59]

Hello Momof3!

I tried using menthol drops in my homemade juice.....YUCK!!!!! I don't like menthol cigs anyway (except when I had a sore throat). I used Juicy Liquids menthol drops...I put 1 drop in my 3ml sample bottle- and couldn't stand it. Might have been the flavor I used (can't remember now what it was). I was told that menthol doesn't go well in some flavors.

I tried every method on the boards to get TH from 0-nic liquids....100 proof vodka, menthol drops, lemon juice, vinegar, and I even tried mild tabasco sauce- but nothing worked.

Oh, I got a tiny hit with the menthol, but I couldn't get past the taste! It tasted like I was vaping Halls. Miss Vapor said she was going to try Capella Cinnamon flavor in hers to try to get TH, but she never posted her results. They say the menthol overtakes any flavor it is mixed with, and I can see why.

 

[Momof3]

I haven't tried the menthol drops or crystals, yet. I've only used Lorann's creme de menthe and Cool Rush flavoring from LiquidXpress Hompage

I think heat and volume of vapor are important too. Maybe try a little VG in your liquid if you haven't already.

Also try 1 thing and try it longer. When I switch from my menthol to cappuccino, there is a definite reduction in throat hit. I have to give it awhile to adjust down and then it's fine. Like breaking in a new atty.

Welcome Deeanne. Glad you have joined us.

Welcome Deeanne!

Thanx Hil and Kelly! Just ordered a Prodigy Thursday morning...now I will see what all the excitement is about .

I was wondering about my menthol drops. I have the menthol liquid from Juicy Liquid, and I can't stand the taste. I only tried 1 drop in a 3ml sample bottle I mixed, and all I could taste was strong menthol. I wonder if I could cut it a little bit to be more tolerable? Then I might try to add it again, maybe to a larger batch to check on that throat hit. I don't want to mix up too much, because I want to start testing when I get the Prodigy.

Do a test cut with a small batch, 1 or 2 ml, that way you can adjust it as needed till you find a concentration you like.

 

[deeanne59]

Thanks Kelly, I will try that and see what happens. Trying it the way I did before....all I could taste was that menthol- YUCK! I will be glad if it will add TH to my no-nic juice temporarily, until I can see the TH from the Prodigy.

Hi DeeAnne
I started out with fairly low nic level and mixed a lot of vg in. Once I got my Screwdriver I decided I wanted to shift away from .... logs completely and found that I could vape lo nic about 60-70% of the time and use a stronger nic level .... once every hour or two for the cravings.

You'll find what works for you!

30 years of smoking...
Vaporized by my Screwdriver!

I saw my first prodigy today at a mini meet in Orlando. Ivisi brought his...too cool but toooo big! Maybe when Steve comes out with the smaller 3.7 volt version (suposed to be like his passthru) I will give it a go. I don't need or want a throat hit!
There's a picture of me Ivisi and EricNYC on the Florida vapors Club thread..First Orlando meet.
