help me fix my vaping experience

[willbeein2003]

I have posted before and gotten advice which I have followed. I am still a little confused and looking for that "omg this is wonderful" experience. I have been vaping for 5 weeks and I can now taste the flavors, but it is a barely noticeable taste.

I am not getting enough of a TH or flavor taste to make my vaping what I want it to be. Please bear with me while I tell you what I want and what I have done.

I have gone to juices that are 24 to 30mg of nicotine. I tried 100% PG which is a little thin, so some are that and some are 90%. I am now working on DIY to attempt to increase the flavor, but I only made one batch (of 8 flavors) and it was not any better than already mixed. I have ordered from 10 suppliers to see if one was better than another for me. (Yes, some are stronger, but none are strong enough).

I have gotten cartomizers to use instead of atomizers, but I think the hit is a little better with the atomizers. I have a pass through which has more mah than the Joye batteries, but I do not see any difference in the vaping experience. I have also tried dripping but see no difference in that either.

I currently use a Joye510. I want more TH and flavor. I do NOT care at all about the amount of vapor that is produced. I do NOT care how long a battery lasts as I have many and I am at home almost all the time to charge. I cannot change and buy a new brand/kit - I have already broken the bank buying what I have. I like the size and feel of the Joye and the convience of being able to carry it easily.

Here are my questions.
1. I just ordered two LR atomizers but will be using them on my regular batteries or pass through. Will these make a difference? I know they will drain my batteries quickly (which is ok with me), but will they burn them out?
2. Can I keep adding flavor to the DIY mixes I have tried to make? Do I just add flavor or do I also need to also keep adding nicotine? (They are at 30mg now according to the charts I used for calculations).
3. Can I do anything to the premixed juices I have to help increase the flavor? Add nicotine for example.
4. Am I just doomed to be unsatisfied?

PLEASE help me. I do love vaping and I won't go back to analogs. But I know that this experience could be so much better.

1. yes LR attys will make a big difference and no you shouldnt burn them out. Keep then wet but not saturated.

2. you can keep adding flavor but you will need to add nic too to keep the nic from dropping as you are adding flavors.

3. you can add flavorings to them to make them better.

4. no.. keep trying..

I suggest you buy another 510 device for those LR atomizers, those 510 batteries will get destroyed pretty quickly they can't handle the demand of those attys, not that they were any good to start with, i used to run them down in about 30 mins with regular attys. Take a look into the eGo / riva / hello 016 mods if you're going to be using LR atomizers.

Thank you for the answers.

As for adding flavorings to my pre-mixed juices. Do you mean buy those flavors in the DIY type and add that? (My DIY flavors are different from the mixed ones). I could save up to do that because those are not too expensive. Would I also add nicotine to those to keep the nicotine level the same?

Do you have any idea if it would be a formula like one drop flavor, one drop nicotine for adding to both the DIY ones I made, and the pre-mixed juices?

 

[willbeein2003]

I am really trying not to buy a different type battery. Most of it is because they are really expensive and I do not want to spend $20 on something I might not like. Some of it is because I went crazy when I stopped analogs and I bought 6 batteries - one in each color! If I have to go to another type then I would feel like I wasted alot of money (and I really like those color choices).

I know that I might be able to sell them here, but I have had an new auto battery up for sale for a few days and nobody wants it. That makes me fear that I would not be able to sell these manual ones.

talking about flavor extracts. check out the DIY forum here on ECF. You will find lot of helpful info.

I would also suggest going up to a 5v device like the GLV from greatlakesvapor.com

It will satisfy you Im sure. IMHO. Thats what I would have started with if I had known..

If you're going to keep your regular 510 batteries then do not use the LR atomizers on them unless you want them to live a very short life.

are you using the passthru with a 2 amp charger? either auto or AC? thats a true 5V experience and I find it much more similar to smoking. however high volts will not help with flavors.

I have the same problem, not much taste or smell. Been adding mint - menthol to the juices as I vap. Not worried about getting a th, seems the only one I get is when it is dry and then I get the burnt hit. Been vaping for about 2 months now, waiting for my taste buds and nose to wake up.

 

[Strigoi]

try some Atomic Cinnacide from Tasty Vapor. after using it, i can barely taste any of the other flavors i have. it's a strong flavor and is about all i use anymore.

it is much better with my Chuck at 3.7v than a standard 510 battery. if i were you, i'd definitely look into one of the battery mods. they make a big difference.

 

[willbeein2003]

My pass through is 360mah and from Joye. That is all it says on it. It self chargers when I use it. Is that 2 amp?

I was told that I could safely use the LR atomizers on this because it is double the mah of the Joye battery.

I am so confused...amps...volts...mah...

 

[willbeein2003]

I did vape cinnamon a couple of weeks ago. This is what started my problems! The first time I did the cinnamon I got the "OMG this is wonderful" that everyone seems to talk about. I vaped it for over a week and it was wonderful. However, my mouth and tongue got sores and they are almost (but not quite) healed. I do not know what caused the sores, but I do know that my mouth has been too sensitive to use it again. I guess that is the feeling I am trying to find again. Maybe only the cinnamon will work.

Thanks for all your comments and advice.

 

[SgtDGun]

ahh you have a vape and go pass thru. no i was talking about a straight pass thru that has no battery. as far as I can tell the one you have stays 3.? volt all the time.

 

[willbeein2003]

I guess so. There is a battery inside it and you can buy batteries to replace that one, but... I put it in the computer and vape. I can't take it off the computer so I guess straight pass thru. So confused.............
