How to get more vapor without sacrificing throat hit?

[paulw2014]

I see on Youtube, many people gets a vapor that's huge. I get decent vapor, but less than I get from a cigarette. To my knowledge, more VG will cause more vapor, and more PG will cause more throat hit. So does this mean I have to sacrifice throat hit for more vapor?

I guess another way is upping the voltage or using a low resistance head? This equates to more power, since power = V^2/R. But I use the vivi nova with a 2.4 head and an Ego Twist. Occasionally, when the voltage gets high (such as 4.8V), it's easy to get a burnt taste.

So what are some good options, maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

I tend to be a fan of cartos for convenience, and I'm about to try a dual-coil carto (3 ohm, so 1.5 in parallel).

Giving it twice the surface area and twice the expended wattage compared to a 3 ohm single coil, it should produce twice the vapor with no loss of flavor. I'll let you know, they're due Thursday or Friday.

I also ordered some lower ohm (2.0) single-coil cartos for vaping on my walking about gear. That's limited to 3.7 volts in one case, a cig-alike in the other.

Stand in front of a mirror while you vape.

Stand in front of a mirror while you vape.

I did that when I got my Vision Spinner.

My evaluation was, with a 2.6 ohm single-coil basic carto:
3.3 volt: Flavor weak, vapor cloud small
3.8 volt: Tolerable flavor, vapor cloud was OK
4.3 volt: Excellent flavor, vapor cloud about the same as a cig or a little more
4.8 volt: Burnt flavor, vapor cloud very large

I vape that at 4.3, needless to say.

If you don't already, try a little menthol in your juice. Definitely adds TH. Even if you don't like menthol cigs you should try it. It's not the same at all. More like adding a bit of Altoid to the mix, and with many flavors (like fruity ones) it'll punch up the flavor too.

I vape fairly high VG, and am not a throat hit fan, BUT!

One way to increase TH (even with higher VG content) is to direct inhale with lungs.

higher nicotine or add a lil ARCTIC WOLF to your liquid.

Sometimes I take a drag, hold it in my mouth, open my mouth then inhale. Someone here posted that and it seems to help a little.

The question you ask is a fine balance between perfect PG VG mix and airflow to your heating element. If you can slow the airflow to your heat you will increase th. It will also lower vapor too.
