Throat Hit is priority one for me. In my experience, this is achieved by combining the right liquid with the right voltage. After much trial and error, I have found that a cartomizer loaded with Halo's "Torque 56" in a 6v Chuck delivers a TH that kicks like a mule. The Chuck will run you about $80.00. Add the batteries, a charger and some carto's and you're at about $130.00. The Chuck is a solid, American made tubular style unit with a strong and loyal following. The button is the soft spot though, if you drop it just right, it will break, but that can apply to just about anything. You can send it in to be repaired and get it back within a week. Treat it like you would your iPhone and you'll be fine. Depending on what batteries you use, it can be a 3.7v, 6v, or 7.4v device which makes it very versatile. I just ordered a second one as a back-up. I can't imagine a day without my beloved Chuck!!
