Just switched from pack-a-day Marlboro Medium 100s to eGo 3.7v with both stock single coil atty and Smok DualCoils, 36mg juice (PG only, methinks -- from AwesomeVapor). I think that I actually get more smoke with less battery drain from the stock atty, but the teeny little cart needs refilling a lot so I alternate.
I'm REALLY missing the throat hit of the Mediums. Constantly vaping 36mg juice and I'm still going through withdrawal, and while I get a nice looking mouthful of smoke on the initial pull, I'm exhaling next to nothing on the dual coil and only a bit more on the stock atty. I'm pretty sure that this isn't technique; I've tried holding the switch to the count of 2 all the way through to the 10s timeout. Hard pull, soft pull; hold it or blow it out fast -- once in a while I feel and see something nice but most of the time it's useless. I also don't notice much difference between the 18mg samples, 24mg and 36mg bottles that I've ordered, they all leave me with a happy taste after 20mins of pull after pull but otherwise feeling like I haven't taken a single drag. (I expected the hit to come from either higher nicotine or more smoke, which I guess I thought the dual coil would deliver. I've been disappointed.)
I'm wondering what I need if I want a good quality hit on inhale and enough smoke visible on exhale that I believe that I'm doing something. Do I want to look into vv, or ~6v fixed? Do I need a juice with higher VG content? Is my eGo sufficient and I just need some sweet accessory that I'm not seeing anywhere? I'm much more interested in the old, familiar throat hit than exhaling a cloud, but I get all jealous when I see people posting about "huge hit, smoke everywhere!".
I don't mind dropping the money on a good mod if that's what it takes -- afterall, the years of life I'm gaining by walking away from Marlboro are worth a hell of a lot more than $200 (or whatever). But if I don't get a decent hit soon and stop going through this withdrawal I'm not sure how happy I'll stay.
Please, advice!! And thanks!
