Looking for a strong TH.

[JayTheVapingGuy]

Hey,

I started vaping 2 weeks ago (well, a year ago but that experiment didn't go well, using a small mini e-cig)...

Thing is, i started with 38mg/ml Caramel ejuice... i wanted to cut the nic but when i cut the ejuice down (using VG) i got a great big nice cloud but the TH was lost... and i found that i suddenly started replacing the battery every hour or so (i'm vaping like a bat out of hell now) as opposed to once a day

i hear some people talking about 12 and 18 mg/ml TH... am i just accustomed to a heavier hit or is there a better way to get a heavy TH?

If it matters, I'm using a HappyVaper 510, standard batty and atty.

Not sure if it is considered "proper" etc, but I have added a very small amount of Vodka or Everclear to the mix and have noticed more of a TH from it. and by small amount I'm talking about just a few drops. YMMV though.

 

[JayTheVapingGuy]

Thanks,

I'll try that...

how much vodka would you suggest i add?

I have a 30ml bottle of half PG and half PV Caramel flavoured 18 mg/ml( 15 ml PV was added to 15 ml 38 mg/ml Caramel juice)

I guess you can't have it both ways. True TH is nic/PG dependent. You can add various things, alcohol, pepper, cinnamon etc that will increase throat irritation which may suit your needs.

WillyB,

Gotcha... so it won't be the same TH...

would changing my atty make a difference, such as a LR atty?

A lr atty should give you more th.

You could look into a pg/vg blend in high nic with a stronger flavor. Something like cinnacide in 24mg with 80% pg should give a heck of a th (especially if you vaped it on a lr atty). If your vaping on a standard 510 battery I wouldn't use a lr atty though, they will drain super fast and shorten the batteries lifespan.

More Nicotine = more TH
PG does not dull the TH (but can be harsh and drying at 100% PG)
VG dulls the TH and adds more visible vapor

Popular ratios include 70pg/30vg or 80pg/20vg

And yes, it does matter what hardware you are using. If you need a bigger TH than what a reasonable amount of micotine for you can provide then you either need to use fake TH additives like Qhit or pepper ejuice (both available at FreedomeSmokeUSA) or go to stronger hardware. With a fat-battery 510 like Ego or Riva 510 you could use LR (low resistance) parts that could give a stronger hotter drag.

Forget all those mini e-cigs. If you want great TH then get an eGo and use PG only juices. And then if you are not satisfied with TH, take some LR attys.

I think that will work

Brian,

I have some 28mg flavourless PG base coming in tomorrow or the next day... if what you're saying makes sence i should cut it down with a bit of VG (or thicken it up i should say)

but essentially, what i'm getting is that at 18 mg/ml,i'm not going to get a noticable TH, at least not after having vaped at 38 mg/ml for two weeks...

if i was to go for a LR atty, what battery should i go for? I'm also looking for some way to avoid having to change my batteries every hour or two... if i could get a nice big battery and a LR atty without having to spend a fortune, i'd really love it.

 

[dormouse]

Ego or the Riva 510 - it is more than just a different battery. It's a different battery, different charger, a cowl that make the atty hotter(?) and a kit is probably cheaper than buying parts. Sometimes there are simple kits for as little as $30.

Since switching to 6 volts, I've been getting all the TH I can handle. Every now and then I fire up my eGo for kicks and believe me, there is no comparison. I use all kinds of PG/VG/ Nic combos with virtually the same results, although I personally prefer 24mg in a 90PG/10VG mix. There are plenty of 6 volt models out there, my weapon of choice happens to be a Chuck.

Well, im not sure how I would go about mixing the caramel juice down tbh (not a mixer myself).

If it were me I would just start from scratch and get a new bottle of juice. Tastyvapor makes a really strong cinnamon flavor called atomic cinnacide, juices like that in a pg base should give you the th your looking for with the lower nic level. I'd try something like cinnacide in 24mg with 80% pg 20%vg. There are lots of flavors that offer strong th, this is just the best juice for th I've ever come across.

As far as lr attys.....they really do rock! You are going to need a 3.7v device that has a high mah rating. The minimum is the eGo/riva/ ect. The higher the mah the longer the battery should last in between charges. The eGo is rated at 650 mah and it should get you through the majority of the day on a single charge. The 18650 battery I use in my silver bullet is rated at 2600 mah.... you can go days on a single charge with that.

I would start out with a different juice and go from there.
