Help choosing eliquids please!

[skywalk]

Hi all, I am trying to quit smoking and I have been smoking marlb menthol lights, and mild sevens lights for the past 20 years.

I would love advice on what juice gives the best throat hit, and at what PG/VG ratio please. PG vs VG confuses the heck outta me so any info would be greatly appreciated. All I read is that VG tastes sweeter and is less harmful.

I will be using xhaler at 5v, and chuck at 6v, on 4.5ohm HV attys.

thanks!

Nice hardware you're getting, I'm jealous. I wish I had bought a Chuck for my first PV, but alas, money woes.

Anyways, I haven't bought from TV yet, but I can answer your PG/VG questions a bit. You're right that some people are allergic to PG, and thus it could be considered "harmful" in some ways. Beyond allergies, I don't know of any health issues that come with vaping PG.

Anyways, you're correct that VG is usually a good thing to have in your vape. It usually produces more vapor, and has a sweeter taste. However, it's also much thicker than PG, I believe, and has been known to gum up attys. Therefore, you don't want something consisting entirely of VG. TV has that reflected in their mixes, if I recall correctly. I don't remember the exact number that is considered best, but I believe you're going to want something like 10-30% VG for best performance.

thanks justfolly.

My no.1 main concern, that is the ultimate factor in choosing juices, is throat hit.
What typically gives best TH? 100% PG? or what flavors? there are so many permutations that i'm at a loss

Do you just like tobacco flavors or what flavorings do you prefer ?

I was on analogs for a long time, and since quitting I cannot stand the taste of tobacco...go figure.

You might want to try a few different things...just to see what you do like.

Most people love TV's tobacco flavorings. All of the juice ive tried from here has a good throat hit. I do like extra vg in my juice, but that's just me. I'm usually adding a bit to most of my juices.

You might wanna try his menthol..Ive heard raves about it and since you smoked menthol, id say its a good bet you would like it. I do like vaping menthol.

I think Geoff said his tobacco flavoring would be back in stock on Monday.

Just a suggestion...but you may want to just try tobacco / menthol as a first try.

If you like cinnamon, his atomic fireball is wonderful.

Thanks got the detailed reply. I'm ok with anything as long as it has TH. I'll try menthol. I done mind vanilla or cloves either. Where should I get these flavors if I wanna try?

Where should you get your juices? Only Tasty Vapor would be my answer. While I am new to vaping i can tell you that i have ordered juice from everybody and by that i do mean everybody. Im not limited by any monetary constraints and i wanted to quickly find out who had the best product for me without alot of time delays. Tasty Vapor hands down has the best juice on the market. PERIOD !!!

As far as flavors are concerned....keep an open mind and let me pose a question to you. If you could eat a piece of cake, or drink your favorite drink or fill yourself with whatever you love and get the same feeling from smoking a cigarette would you do it? This is the world that is open to you thru vaping. You are not limited any longer by a tobacco flavor.

Tasty vapor can feel that need for you !!!!

Jeez, I feel like a salesman but honestly i wish someone had pointed me in the right direction in the beginning. I could have saved a couple thousand dollars.

Thanks jebey! I have ordered a few juices from tasty vapor at 30%VG. I'll follow your advice. I'm the sort of person that will stick to one or two flavors from the same vendor. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is my philosophy. Much appreciated. Thanks

As a general rule...

PG= stronger flavor and throat hit, less vapor
VG= thinner flavor, more vapor

I get all my stuff from Geoff at the max PG/VG mix (65/35)... look at the bottom of his each of his products pages and you'll see that there is a max amount of VG he can mix with the PG, depending on the nic level (mine is 24mg). I also bought a bottle of straight VG and usually end up adding a couple drops to each carto refill...

Hope this helps

Thanks Karl. So you like your vapor nice and thick? Doesn't having such high VG reduce TH? I'm ok if there's less vapor, but I absolutely must have throat hit. Would 100% PG work? Or should I add the minimal amount of VG?

Well, there's definitely a balance to be struck... I'm not about clouds over taste at all... but I hate it when I suck in a tasteful flavor and exhaling and nothing comes out... you must remember that the vapor is the medium were using to deliver flavor and nicotine... when you deny yourself decent amounts of vapor, you're denying yourself a chance to experience a good aftertaste... and one of the appeals of Tasty Vapor juices is that they taste yummy on the inhale AND the exhale... and they coat your mouth with pleasant aftertastes...

As for TH... you can get better TH with a high-voltage PV... I use an Xhaler and I can tell you for sure... flavors that are mild on a 3.7 bat absolutely knock my socks off on my Xhaler... so I tend to lean toward a PG/VG ratio of around 60/40 to 50/50... it's just a personal preference... YMMV!

Layyyter...

Thanks again. I have ordered an xhaler and 4.2 ohm HV attys which I plan to run at 6v. Do u use regulst or HV attys?

I don't use attys at all... I started out on cartomizers with my KR808 kit and bought the adapter to use on my Xhaler...

Just don't keep your fingy on the button too long... as a general rule... HV vaping gives you such a good blast, you generally don't need more than 3-5 seconds, really... and truthfully, 5v is more than adequate... I bought the set of 3.0v batts and knock them down toward 5v using the resistor cap on the end and I'm more than happy...

BTW, what color Xhaler did you get? Wait wait, don't tell me... black vapor?

 

[skywalk]

Thanks for the advice. I can't wait to try it out. Of course I got black vapor! Hahaha!

PG give a better th than vg. Vg produces more vapor than pg. Puttung a little menthol in a juice will increase the throat hit as well. Other things people do is to put a few drops of pga in their liq.

Just a guess... if you happen to look on the Nhaler subforum, you'll find a thread of Xhaler-themed Xmas pix... and I swear, half of them are black vapor!

It IS sexy, though...

 

[skywalk]

So it seems like the general consensus is to have a minimal amt of VG cut in to add vapor, but the bulk of the TH will be from PG.
Who sells good menthol for added TH kick? TV again?

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

TV Definately ! Good price, fantastic products, and super fast shipping...It's the Holy Grail of the juice

 

[skywalk]

And just ad menthol to mix in with all your other flavors? How much do I need to add?

I'm not sure if I'll ever find a menthol that tastes anything like an analog menthol, but I ordered some from Geoff last night... so we'll see...

The thing is... even if I still have to tweak it, having TV juice as a base liquid is the best way to go, IMO... Clumsy's sending me a few menthol crystals, so if I do tweak TV's menthol, I'll use the crystals...

 

[skywalk]

Cool. Let me know how it goes and what combination gives good throat hit pls
