Is it the juice, or????????

[jcarabelos]

Alright, so I decided to order some juice from Kick Bass Vapors recently. I was feeling adventurous and decided to order 30/70 vg/pg (I've never used VG before). I'm using it on my ProVari with a liquinator 3ml tank and standard Boge 510 cartomizers (the ones which can be ordered from vaporescence with the pre-cut slots). The flavors are all awesome, but I've noticed an irritating trend in the vapor: it seems more "moist" than usual. Whenever I inhale I seem to feel more moisture in the back of my throat than normal, and it sometimes causes me to cough. Also, if I've been vaping for a while and clear my throat, it seems as though some liquid clears which tastes of the e-juice I'm vaping. When I use at lower voltages (i.e. 3.7-4.5) this happens less often, but still often enough to irritate me. At higher voltages it is nigh unbearable. So what's going on here? Is it the cartomizer? The juice? The VG? Some remnants of water from when I cleaned my liquinator recently? I would love some help here, because I love these flavors...but the TH is starting to really bother me.

i am going to go out on a limb and guess that it is probably the VG-
higher levels of VG makes me phlegmy

I think the juice and the ratio does make a difference with taste. I love Vapor Bomb Peach and really like it 70pg/30vg or 60pg/40vg but maybe it's a more delicate juice it lacks in flavor with dual coil cartos. So I use boge cartos for the juice. If I vape it too much I get a heavyish feeling in my chest and lose my voice. I thought it was because it was a higher nic juice but when I lowered it and I vape it a lot it still happens. I have ordered it 100%pg but it seems to taste better with vg for some odd reason.

My main, all day vape is 100% pg from nhaler. It tastes great regardless of what I use as far as cartos go and I feel good when I vape it. It also makes my cartos last forever.

Yea, that's a good way to put it.

Unfortunate news. I definitely liked the vapor production, but if the VG is ruining my vape then no more for me.

i am usually okay with it at lower levels(20-30%)
sorry to hear of your VG issues-
i do have to agree that it makes for quite the...gross...vape at 100%(IMO)

 

[jcarabelos]

Yeah mine is only at 30% and the TH is really weak and watery.

 

[WalksWithWiFi]

i meant 30% vg, you have 30% pg right now with your Kick Bass juices, right?
also, Kick Bass juices aren't really known for their throat hit-

(i hardly get one at 70% pg)

I don't have a mod, so I can't tell you if the voltage makes a difference. Supposedly you get the best TH with a mod. If it's not that, it has to be the nicotine strength or the PG/VG ratio I would think. One of the mod experts will know.

They taste good. I have KBV pinapple shake that's really good. But yea, not huge TH.

Edit: Woops! I quoted the wrong post- I meant your other post.

While I've had my ProVari for only a few weeks, other juices haven't had this problem on any voltage setting. So I'm GUESSING that isn't the problem. I usually get bomb TH from the ProVari, but this juice isn't doing it for me.

yeah, i also want to state that i like KBV juices, throat hit there or not-
and i only vape at 3.7v so i can't really comment on the effect that higher voltages might have for throat hit on their juices.
