Been vaping for almost a year and a half... started with a Joye 510, used an Ego/tank for a few weeks, graduated to a mod about 2 weeks ago. Currently using the Puresmoker Prodigy v3.1 and I have 3.7v and 6v set-ups. I'm just not getting enough umph... I dont seem to be getting big, choking clouds of vapor and throat hit like I did when I got my first mod. Maybe Im just getting used to it? Maybe my batterier cant handle the load (Do I need high-drain?)? I'm definitely a chain vapor, and I give my attys a chance to cool off... here's the details.

@3.7 (using an AW 17670 1600mah protected) paired with Cisco 1.5ohm 306s, Bauway 1.7ohm 510s, various LR 510 carts... This almost satisfies me, but I like a bit more wattage

@6v (using 2x AW LiFePo4 500mah 123s) paired with Ikenvape 3.5ohm 306s/510s. This is my sweet spot... but it really only satisfies me in the morning. Like I said, I like big, choking hits... clouds of vapor and throat hit.

My main juice is BWB 24mg... I've tried almost all of the flavors. I've also tried mister-e-liquid, Johnson Creek, Top Vapor, Tonic (Puresmoker).

So whats the deal? I'm leaning toward the batteries. I'm not too educated on the amps/draw required to power an atty, so this is the only thing I can think of. Maybe the batteries arent consistent enough? They're all fairly new (less than 3 weeks) and I have the appropriate charger for each. I also have a voltmeter, and they're charging/decharging properly. Is it my juice (70/30 pg/vg)? I cant burn any hotter (6v+3.5ohms=10+ watts), my juice just burns...

Lets hear from the vets!

Don't really understand this as if you pull a 4 or 5 second hit off a 10 watt device you'll fog up a small room. Maybe needs more VG in the mix? Are you dripping or using a cart? What does the voltage measure at the connector when you click the 6v device on?

Did you actually measure the voltage at the connector and the resistances of the atties? Seems to me you are not getting 10 watts, as if you were, you would have no complaints.

A 10 watt result will give about double the hit of an eGo / Tornado with an LR atty - around twice the vapor and TH - and about 3 times the poke of a standard eGornado (one with a stock atty or carto).

If you are not seeing a big hike in power then you haven't got 10 watts.

Hard to say without being there...

I recently went through a MADDENING spell just as you are right now. I couldnt find the..as you say...UMPH..I call Throat Hit. I got some BlueMist Vaping Supplies juices, Caramel Tobacco, Robacco, and RY4 all at 32mg 80%PG 20%VG. No more madness...just satisfying vape sessions.

Almost forgot....with the higher resistance atties you are sorta canceling some of your power,I use reg. resistance attys at 6 volts and higher resistance atties if I go above 6 volts. But rarely do...cuz 6 V's w/reg. atty does the trick. :vapor:
