looking for my nirvana vape (no idea where to put this, sorry mods)

[mchaggis79]

So I've been vaping now for the better part of the last 5 or 6 years, idk anymore lol. I've used the old 510 titans from totally wicked with their original atomizers, various clearomizers, ego type batteries with the various atomizer set ups, a baby bullet with cartomizers, and now I'm using mechanical mods with rdas. Specifically the stingray x with the hybrid adapter, and a copper colonial.

I've tried store made liquids and diy fluids, ranging from 0 to 36mg strength. currently just using diy around 3mg strength. I LOVE my throat hit, I love that feeling you get when you get that kick in the back of your throat and lungs, but I kind of like decent clouds.

I guess my point here is at the end of the day I'm trying to wean myself off nicotine and thereby reducing my so loved throat hit. The only way it seems I can get it now is if I take a long, hard hit and then suck it in all at once. I hate hot vapor so I never go below .7 ohms for my dual coil builds. I could continue on for forever and a day with this, but I'm wondering if my rambling can spark on thoughts on keeping throat hit high with low nicotine. Also I'd like to know if anyone has actually found their nirvana vape.

Still haven't found my nirvana vape, but there are some throat bit agents. There's a black pepper flavor that reportedly has th of its own. Capsaicin (in small amounts) is said to beef up th too. Also, water is sometimes added to help th.

Maybe a combined approach of the three? I'm told that pg hits more than vg, so there's that.

I'm having a bit of the same challenge. I've weaned myself down to 1 mg in my dripper, but I had three false starts trying to drop from 3 to 1 because of the loss of th.

I've been vaping for almost 3 years now. Weaned myself off nic after about 9 months, stayed off it for half a year and since then I vape a bit of nic every once in a while. I have not found any way to get TH with zero nic juice, even at 70 watts. Can't really say that I've tried everything under the sun to get it though as I got used to no TH after a while. I find flavor better with no-nic juice and that keeps me pretty satisfied. These days I am also so sensitive to nicotine, I get what I consider noticeable TH from 2 mg nic.

Also I'd like to know if anyone has actually found their nirvana vape.

I have. A Reo Grand with a Cyclone bottom fed dripper set up with dual coils at 0.3 Ω, wicked with rayon and using DIY juice. Works for me

I tried all those Dzaw and they didn't make TH for me. Pepper makes me cough and doesn't help so that's a double fail for me, but maybe I didn't do it right. I use water sometimes to thin high VG juices and to make stealth juice, but I've never found it added TH even at 20%.

Have you tried any of these and found they helped you?

 

[Dzaw]

I found water to be useless. Thinned the juice down but nothing else, until I added so much that I had to steam the water off before I could get the rest to vape.

Haven't tried the others. I found what helped me was to have a couple bottles of 6mg on hand when I switched to 1 mg generally. I would add a few drops of the 6 to my addy whenever I really wanted that punch. It helped me get over the transition. Improving my build and dropping resistance just a shy also helped.

I'm a flavor junkie, but I need throat hit lol.

I have several nirvana vapes

I'm hoping to read on this thread a good way to achieve what you are talking about because I like throat hit also and I have only been able to find it with high nic juices. I enjoy experimenting with DIY, and this could be in my mind, but I think adding a drop of Everclear (PGA Pure Grain Alcohol) to my 6ml bottle of juice adds a certain amount of throat hit. I just know that I like it. I also add a drop of menthol sometimes which I happen to make using Everclear and menthol crystal 50/50.

I fell in love with dripping and to me the reo is the ultimate dripper. I started using one 10 months ago and I refuse to use anything else so I guess I pretty much found my "nirvana" with the reos. I know I can't imagine vaping getting any better for me. Good luck to you and I hope we both "learn" something here.

my go to vapes are smaller compact RDA's nowadays. I have a few atomizers but I keep doing back to the SOD 5k, mostly single coil at 0.4-0.7ohms around 35-40 watts on a boxmod. I recently ordered a Rogue RDA and have been liking that in dual coil at 0.3-0.4ohms at 40 watts. my nic level is around 6-12mg and have come to liking bakery style flavors such as cinnamon sugar cookie, blueberry crumble, and strawberry shortcake DIY eliquid. I am starting to like these compact smaller chamber RDA's recently and straying away from the big airflow tall RDA's, and I've been happy.

The word nirvāṇa is from the verbal root √vā 'blow' in the form of past participle vāna 'blown'; prefixed with the preverb nis which means 'out'. Hence the original meaning of the word is 'blown out, extinguished'. Sandhi changes the spelling: the v of vāna causes nis to become nir, and then the r of nir causes retroflexion of the following n: nis+vāna > nirvāṇa It is used in the sense of 'dead' in the Mahābhārata (i.e. life extinguished). [Monier-Williams Sanskrit English Dictionary sv nirvāṇa]

I dont think you meant it this way but vaping is the definition of Nirvana for smokers. If you try some sub ohm via tanks or RTAs and or RDAs do some lung inhales you will soon cut nic. I vaped 12 for ever but with the above method I was down to 3 in no time.

Ever thought of vaping Original Juans Da Bomb Final Answer? I've got a feeling that at 1.5 million Scoville units, it will make your nic TH seem like a nice nap.

Also I'd like to know if anyone has actually found their nirvana vape.

I think the nirvana vape is a slow moving state of evolution. I've been on my current setup for about a year now, 4 mech mods, all run Prometey's and I don't feel the need to change them. I mix up different coils and twists on flavors but equipment wise, I'm in nirvana, or as close as you can get until they come up with batteries that last a year or two.

The two groups of vapers who seem (to me) the most like they've reached the fabled "end of the road" - would be Reo and Genisis users.
