Interesting experience regarding vapor temperature

[Kellycat]

So, I've been looking for a 'hotter' hit practically since I started vaping, and have had little to no consistent results in the area short of using a 5v mod with LR cartos, which seems to burn them up pretty quickly. What I did notice, however, was as soon as I started mixing menthol flavors, I stopped expecting that high-temperature hit from each drag..

Just thought I'd make mention of that, see if anyone else had similar stories to share, not to mention maybe it'll help people just starting out get over the fact it's not exactly like a cigarette. I don't even have to put enough menthol in to taste it, just a drop or two into a whole batch and subconsciously I stop expecting a hot vape because of the presence of menthol in the mix.

Unrelated, but for people coming from strong menthols like Newports (at least I'd consider those 'strong' as I smoked Skylines when I wanted a menthol), it seems a real fast way to 'fix' a DIY juice is just adding more menthol, it masks the other undesirable flavors nicely, and in small batches it only takes 4-6 drops to really cover most any flavor you're putting in, that's using TFA Menthol from MFS.

Can you give us some more information so someone more experienced can help you out? Perhaps the ohm of your carto/tank/whatever and your specific mod? Also, what are you vaping regularly that doesn't give you a fairly hot hit and what does give you a hot hit. Lastly, are you wiring and wicking your atomizer yourself?

I've always found that top coil clearomizers deliver a warmer vapor than bottom coil versions.

The throwaway CE4's I have produce the warmest cloud of anything I've used (which, admittedly, isn't a whole lot).

Was looking less for help, more to share my observations on menthol flavors. I've got the higher temperature hits figured out conceptually I just don't have the cash to put down on buying the kit. The times I got a hot hit I was using a 5v mod with 2.8ohm Kanger cartos, 18-24mg/ml, pre-made VK D'Black Clove as well as a DIY clove flavor, both reasonably light, 100% PG juices. Just didn't pay enough attention and ran my cartos dry, burning the filler pretty badly.

TL;DR: Not in need of assistance, just sharing a note on menthol flavor and psychological expectations from one vaper to another.
