Inhaling, throat hit, etc

[Taurox]

About 10 days ago I purchased a "Green Smoke" starter kit. Wow I was so shocked that it gave me the taste, the throat hit, and my nicotine. I haven't picked up an old cigarette since. I immediately went online to do my research. This forum has proved time and time again to have pretty much all the answers I need. I decided I would order a Joye 510 it was mentioned as having a good throat hit and vapor production, etc. I just received it today and I am so disappointed. It is like smoking air, well air with a lot of vapor.
I have been reading some other posts regarding similar problems and I have purchased some Cartomizers with my joye 510 however I am still waiting on my e-juice delivery. I am hoping that will solve my TH problem.

I did notice however if I directly inhale I do get some kind of throat hit/burn. Rather then doing the cigarette thing of holding in mouth then inhaling. Is that how I am supposed to be doing it? Is that any worse for your lungs? Like getting juice gunk directly in there.. although I suppose it is getting in your lungs regardless of mouth "hold time". Just curious..

Thanks for all the informative posts...

I'm sure a different juice would help. My joye510 is great for vapor production/flavor/and throat hit. Throat hit is normally directly related to the strength of nicotine in your e liquid. 18mg and up are good for throat hit for many flavors. Flavors with a bit of alcohol are normally better for throat hit too.

Just a long, slow, steady draw... build that smoke up in your mouth, then inhale.

Cutting with vg will help a bit too. A lot more vapor, and the throat hit is usually a little better with it.



I'm not used to cartomizers. That may be a problem for achieving your best kind of vapor, you can ask someone else. I always found regular cartridges filled with a few drops on my atty always worked the best, or direct dripping into my atty all together. You may want to try making that switch if you continue to have bad luck.

If you got a true Joye510 its not the rig your using, but could be the e-liquid you're using.

TH is subjective almost as much so as tastes. PG ratio, nic content, flavorings are some of the things people say contribute to TH.

Direct inhalation IMO gives the TH more. A little less when drawing into the mouth, then inhaling to the lungs. There is no need to hold down the inhale, nicotine is absorbed through the mucus membranes... not as efficiently as a cigarette mind you, but you get it.

Yikes I hope it's a Joye 510. I purchased it from Good Prophets, it says joye 510 on the website but doesn't say it anywhere on the box or instructions or the e-cig. Damn did I get swindled?

Throat his was very important when I quit smoking in favor of e-cigs.

I bought my Bloog witch uses Cartos and it had a very light draw for a while. You need to 'break in' the atomizer, then drain the carto and fill with good non stock juice. Personally i am vaping Johnson Creek Summer Peach. Definitely one of my favorites. I haven't used the 510 yet. I'm waiting for my paycheck then ordering a Tornado kit with LR attys and a Titan compact kit. I'm going the direct dripping route. I figured out direct dripping with my stock cartos and TH and VP are great. Compared to what i was getting when i first got it. Id say a 300% increase.

Funny. I was going to post a similar story, so I'll add it here.

I bought an e-gig in a pharmacy (in italy) 10 days ago. It's being marketed here as an aid to quitting cigs, which is fair enough. And it wasn't bad, I have to say. (It's called 'T-Fumo'). But I realised after 3-4 days that the carts didn't last long, and at 10 euros ($12-13) for a pack of 10, it was going to cost me almost as much as cigs.

So I went online to look for a cheaper source of carts and found an italian e-cig forum - a very good one too. I joined and started researching. After a few days, I bought a 510, (a rebranded Joye, with a spare atty, pre-filled carts and empty ones, plus 10ml of e-juice (no nicotine).

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I'm not happy with it at all, and I've come to the conclusion, (after trying everything else), that it's the juice. I probably made a mistake not getting juice with nicotine. I thought I'd be better to cut it out right away, but I reckon that was too optimistic. I've already ordered juice, PG, VG and aromas, so I'm ready to roll.

But on top of that, I'm not happy with the 510 batts. I'm charging them up all the time, so I've ordered a Joye eGo. From what I've read, it's pretty good, so I'm hoping when it all arrives, I can finally vape in peace.

I've spent over $300 so far, but the way I see it, I'll get it all back if I can get off the cigs.

Thx, bobby. I've already paid for the eGo, so I want to at least see how it is. If it's not up to scratch, I'll start looking around.

The eGo will surprise you. In a good way!

I've steered three of my friends to the eGo and they all love it.
I never see them with their Jsticks or 510's anymore.
