Light and ultra light smokers (+liquid)

[virraszto]

I hope this is in the right forum, if not, mods please move it to appropriate one.

I'm having a heck of a time getting liquid to be the strength I need. I have been smoking menthol lights for ...omg 25 yrs8-o . My first order was 36 mg menthol, which was just plain old stupid. Thought I was gonna die from my first hit. Then I ordered another e-cig and it came with 1 low cart that was non-menthol.( It didn't say what mg it was) I could smoke it no problem, but I didn't like the plain taste. So, I ordered watermelon flavored that said it was low at 11 mg. Filled the cart with it, and crap, if it isn't too strong too. I don't really taste the watermelon.


If I put glycerin in the cart, and less liquid, will I have any taste at all?

And as a menthol smoker, I can say I can't stand menthol vaping. Totally turns my stomache from the taste and smell. And I'm wondering if the overbearing menthol smell, which the inside of the atomizer still reeks of, is why I am not getting a great taste from the watermelon?

I hope someone can advise me.

if you cut the e-liquid with glycerin, yes it will take away the harshness you are experiencing, and do it in a small bottle or something , and not in your cart itself so you can get proper mixing.. personally though in my limited experience with cutting with glycerin, it makes it very much less flavorful.. almost tasteless... but it was not with a flavor like watermelon.. it was with a very light flavor..

as far as the menthol smell in your atty.. tried blowing it out yet? if you have a spare, you might try cleaning it.. i'd tell you how to do it, but i dont wana lie to you , so try searching through some of the other threads in this section and others for cleaning methods.. they will help you rid yourself of the nasty menthol taste and let the watermellon come through...

Glycerin to me kills the taste of just abut anything, don't care for it at all.

I guess I'll have to figure out what strength I need through trial and error. I just ordered a bunch of flavors, so I can adjust the strength. I'll get it right eventually.

Guess I forgot to do that. It's taken care of now. I'm from SE Michigan.

The mentol vapers i know go straight for the flavors watermelon and raspberry.
They don't care for menthol anymore.
I used to smoke menthol many years ago. I do not know why I switched to reg
but I am glad I did.

Have you tried cutting with PG? If the liquid your buying doesn't state VG based than its prob PG based. I personally cant stand Glycerin, it produces WAY too much vapor that makes me sick when i see it on the exhale...whoooa

As a matter of fact, I did buy watermelon liquid. I had some orders arrive today that puts me at about 10 different flavors. I went with 11 mg nicotine. I've only tried the bubble gum so far. What I did was put some PG in the cart, about 5 drops, and then added about 4 drops of the bubble gum flavor. I took a few puffs off it, and then the liquid dripped through the mouthpiece. Too much liquid I guess. I'm now keeping the e-cig cart side up when I'm not using it.

I'm so new to this so it will take awhile for me to get used to this.

First tthing you can do is stop mixing in your carts not getting results that way. find you a small glass bottle or something. put 5 drops pg and 5 drops liquid, mix and drip 2-3 drops straight on your atomizer and try it.

If you like the flavor THEN fill a cart.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't done it that way yet, so maybe that's my problem. I'll give it a try as soon as I get the chance.

I think I read somewhere here to store it LED up...you don't want liquid to leak down into your atomizer or battery...

I got my new juices today, and I did like you said. I mixed them up in a small bottle and then filled the cart. Much better! I love the grape from addictionejuice!

Yea, that's what I meant. You explained it better than I did though.
