I don't get as much vapor (exhaled) as I do with Greensmoke

Actually, I think there's some consensus that GS produces the most vapor. But most say it doesn't taste as good and the VK produces enough to be happy. And then there's all this variation depending on what kind of cart you're using and whether you are using a batt (and which kind) or a passthrough. All kinds of ways to affect your experience.

I think Leaford has a review video comparing his all time favs. Maybe in a sticky?

I have both VK and GS. There is a marked difference in vapor production. I don't think you can get close to the vapor from a VK that you will from the GS. I think the GS atty runs much hotter--don't know that to be fact. That would also explain the better flavor with the VK. I refill with a mixture including VG and it is better but still not even close the vapor production of the GS. It took me a while but I got used to the lower vapor production of the VK and now only use the GS when I fly. In case they confiscate it, I won't care. Take the time to adjust to the VK's vapor production and you will like it more than the GS. IMHO

BTW, I have some of the new carts and vapor production is much improved. Still not as much as GS but getting closer. Leaford is a vapor nut so I am sure the vapor will continue to improve with his involvement.

I started with a GS kit but sent it back for a refund after I found V4L. I agree that the GS put out more "smoke" but the V4L does a MUCH better job of throat hit which is what gave me the edge to quit. I will be getting my VG carts by Monday (USPS Willing) but am fine with the vapor I get from most of my V4L carts. With all the freebies, I can't complain much about the few that have been "duds" but V4L has always made it right on the next order.

Just back from work, which is why I did not reply earlier. I was talking about the new cart which I know are new because they are new flavors. I have not tried the VG carts yet. It also appears that the new carts have the condom and .... plug fused together but I am not sure that is across the board. Of course you can't tell by that until you have them in your possession.

I have heard others say that GS carts are VG but the ingredients listed are PG. They do create massive vapor but that is the only strength they have. No TH, No flavor and very inconsistent batteries in my experience…not to mention way expensive.

I agree with some of the other posters.. Here is what I have noticed..

Vapor Production..

Batteries:
  • XL vs. Reg - XL by far produced more vapor
  • Manual Reg vs Auto Reg - Manual
  • PT Vs Manual Reg, XL - PT is a PT lol..
Cartomizers I have noticed more vapor production..
  • Parlament 18mg TH is minimal with these, but they do the trick
  • 555 18mg
  • VG Smilin Special 18mg
