How do you hit your PV?

[Mr. Android]

I just got my PV today, and am quickly learning that I have to change the way I [smoke].

Normally when I'm smoking an analog, i use my mouth to pull until i get a nice pocket of smoke, then i pull the analog away from my mouth and I inhale.

I tried doing this with my PV (510) and the hit I got was so minuscule. There was barely any vapor on exhale, and felt almost no TH.

I then tried doing the same, but pulling much slower. This produced more vapor, and a decent TH, but no where what I see other people getting in videos. In videos I see people hitting the 510 and getting a nice plume, which would better the TH.

Am I using my PV wrong? It's my first day, so I'm still learning. Is there any tips you guys could give me?

The juice you use has a lot to do with it. Some of my juices produce clouds of vapor . . . others, nothing. VG juice has much more vapor. If you want vapor, one place to look is rockymountainvapor. I order it 80vg/20pg.

Also, if you are using an atty, it will take some time to break in.

From what I've seen, it takes a new atomizer some time to 'break in' and start producing better vapor.

You may want to check the type of juice you are using. If it is primarily PG, then the vapor usually isn't as good.

I'm using the Marlboro 24mg from MadVapes.com

Lots of newbies mistakes are to Hold the vapor in your laughs for to long, so it jest melts..

try to inhale and then exhale right away..


good luck man!

How do I hit my PV? I don't hit my PV. I caress it lovingly.

LOL I was going to say the same thing

Try this. A slight slow puff then draw slowly, when your mouths full inhale and take one more long slow drag, inhale that while the 510's battery flashes telling you took too long a hit.

I take a 5 second slow drag on mine (12mg, various flavors) and it had the right amount of TH and vapor for me. But that is for ME. Your needs may differ, but I DID have to learn to "hit" it differently than analogs, that's for sure.

Great minds......

If you like making alot of vapor...

1. Pull into your mouth sofly slowly for a long time
2. Inhale.
3. Simultaneously Exhale through nouse and Pull into mouth as in step 1.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 several times.


My wife looks at me googly eyed and says "Holy Crap" when I do that.

I puff on a PV like you described on an analog only I basically do it twice. (Not counting a short tiny puff first.) The first one I exhale out of my nose while prepping the next inhale in my mouth. One reason I do that is because I am using auto batteries. The second hit is the money maker for me. Don't worry, you'll get your grove on.

If you're already doing it sloow, and loong, you're on the right track. Other than that it's the juices...and that's part of the learning curve.

The amount of vapor does not equate with th. I get massive vapor with very soft th because I use vg High pg on the other hand will give you stronger th with less vapor. Stonger, spicier flavored juices will also affect the level of th.

With time, you'll find the juice that's right for you, and that's something only you can determine.

Good luck!!

Ditto...Plus wouldn't hitting break it???LOL

Seriously tho, My husband finds a direct inhale works I use kinda a combo of that and occasionally i hold some in my mouth/lungs. (not much to exhale that way but in my mind at least I'm still getting the same effect) (and if not please don't tell me...let me have my illusion...please LOL)

I'd suggest a LR atty if you're running at 3.7v, this will produce a shed load more vapor

Aren't LR Attys more inclined to break unexpectedly? I could have sworn I read somewhere that LR attys have a lot of issues.

I haven't lost one yet and it's almost 3 weeks, they're cheap enough even if they only lasted 3 weeks and like I said mine are still going strong

Good to know

I've never been a fan of LR atty's. I use an eGo and find that LR atty's burn so hot that the liquid tastes burnt and unpleasant. I tried many types of liquid--same result
