Hi all! Question about liquid.

[skunkyigloo]

Hey everyone, new here.

Just got my 510, and its great. I usually smoke Camel Crush's. So I got the 510 and some 26mg VG, as well as some 0mg menthol thinking I would cut it down.

However, the prefilled carts that come with my ecig are 18mg, they have 0 effect on me. Now I am afraid that cutting the 26mg will be an issue.

Does anyone know what strength is comparable to a crush? Some places say they are a light cig, some places say they are full.

Let me know, thanks

I always felt the crushes were a mild/medium strength cig. (If I had to guess it'd probably fall somewhere in the 12-18 mg range, but I'm really new to this)

My brand was Marlboro Menthols, and I know comparatively speaking...crushes were weaker.

Interesting the 18mg is doing nothing for you though, it suits me beautifully.

Your thinking was in line, and the pre-fille cart juice may not have the same affect as the other juice you bought. Only one way to find out, mix it up, and give it a go!
I always just dumped the poly from those pre-filled carts, as the Dekang juice is terrible!

I found the pre-filled to be lacking for me.I would go thru a 5 pack in just a few hours, where my modded cart I filled would satisfy me and last a long time. The pre-filled seemed I was constantly vaping it.

It strikes me as odd also, considering I was going to cut the 26 down to 13 50/50 with the 0mg menthol.

But I was vaping with the 510 and finally broke down and had one of my last two cigs, that did the trick

Maybe I am just not inhaling enough vapor, seems harder to gauge/takes more of a pull.

Ok, thanks for all the replies guys

I will clear out a cart and fill one up with some new juice.

When you draw, are you drawing slow/smoothly? Or are you hitting it hard like a cigarette that was rolled slightly too tight?

From what I understand, your draws should be slow to let the atomizer heat up and give off more vapor.

If you're doing that, I can say personally....the stock filler in my blanks suck, so it very well could just be that too, as j0ker and RedZone mentioned.

 

[johnny bobcat]

have you tried dripping, ive found that to give far more nicotine than with using carts, mnot sure why this is, but dripping is definitely more satisfying

 

[skunkyigloo]

Well I just mixed some 18mg and I can say...that is MUCH better Thanks.

On the direct drip, I had seen that, but also read it decreases the life of your atomizer? I guess that would be a trade off for better taste and nic.

Are these PV's normally harsher than a real cig or is this just me being the hypochondriac I am.

My take is its just new and after a while will be less harsh in a good way if that makes sense.

Yea for sure. This thing is great, $$$ in my pocket

 

[skunkyigloo]

Also,

I am counting for myself, 6 puffs as a cigarette. The carts have only lasted about 3-5 cigs. It gets real harsh at the end like its just hot air, so I am assuming its done.

The carts I have take about 8 drops.

I remember my first cigarette at age 16... I coughed and choked my head off for a long time. Good thing I was a trooper and stuck with it. How could I be "cool" otherwise. fast forward 25 years and now I'm here sucking on my battery operated personal vaporizer reading about how to do it better!

...and yes, occasionally I will get an awesome vapor-shot and cough my guts out for a minute!

Cheers,
Dude

Glad your vaping pleasure has increased using your own juice.
BTW I direct drip about 80% of the time w/ my 510, and haven't lost an atty in 8 weeks.
Better flavor, better vaping (Direct Dripping)

How many drops do you add on top of the atty each time? Thanks
