Lost my Throat hit!

Crystal...here's your link

Excuse me! I'm not a paranoid person.

You know my gut feeling is usurally right.

I think you better ask your gut for a do-over on the you not being paranoid thingy.

Think I have this sussed now and thanks all - you were right - it's the nicotine strength.
Pretty sure that because I've had to use the v.high carts on my evo until my new supplies come, that it's just deadend or dulled the hit I was also getting from my 510 (med strength stuff).
Will prob now have to order some high strength liqs and just put a tiny drip into each cart to give it the kick I need rather than having too much kick it hurts.
I'm learning but it's painful (and costly) sometimes trying to get it right lol !

Are you really developmentally disabled? Read the other posts!

Despite your edits, clearly civility and compassion are not behaviors you are accustomed to using. Sad.

haha! wow. I've never been directly pointed out on any forum as a spy. I mean, I've got my one message board that I mod and that's about it. I don't really post any where else because I know how hard it is to make a name for yourself or be heard. but I'll accept your apology. no harm done. in fact, check out my friend's message board if you like. you'll see my recent post in the nonsense forum about how excited I am about my new e-cig.
drivingmusic dot net slash phpBB3 (apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet)

in fact, last april I put a link up to this board for all the people who were interested in what they are.

also, I may have been misleading: when I said I didn't use nicotine, I meant the juice and carts I have are nic-free because I got them from canada (all that border stuff scared me).

I'm a smoker, but I've only been a regular smoker since 2003. I never thought I had a real nicotine habit, though. I could quit for a few days if I needed to, but I found myself craving a cigarette out of habits... like eating a big meal or while driving or while typing on the computer. it feels weird not smoking after doing those things. my boyfriend and I just got a new place and we decided not to smoke inside. he's trying to quit but I work on the computer a lot and e-cig seems like the perfect thing to replace that feeling.

so far, so good!

I hope that helps my case somewhat. haha. FDA. I wish I got paid that much. I really appreciate how much information is on this board. there's no way I could have found out so much stuff on my own.

Thank you for clarifying crystal. I was concerned.

As far as throat hit, though I'm not a fan, I understand that adding menthol to anything will help if you don't want to increase nicotine.

When I start getting dissatisfied with my throat hit, and notice myself craving an analog intensely, it's because my atomizer isn't functioning well. It's kind of insidious -- you don't even notice it at first. But try putting on a new one and whoa -- you realize suddenly what the problem was, and wonder why it took so long to figure it out.

I have been vaping for since Monday afternoon and find that with the Titan, the first three drags are good throat hits and then after than they sort of wane down.
Especially if you try to take one after the other fairly fast.
A brand new filled cart is the best.

Bingo! That was the problem I had with the 510! Fortunately, I tried the VaporKing from Vapor4Life and now I get consistantly good throat hits with 16mg carts. I am going to try the next step down and see if those are as consistant. On my 510 I had to use the 24mg carts and even then, like you said, first few drags ok, after that bleh! I was constantly dripping on the atty to taste something.

VaporKing rocks!

not a bad idea... I'd just be afraid that the menthol taste would overpower the more subtle flavors. I may test that out right now, actually!

oh, and thanks to firhill for posting the actual link to my board. anyone is welcome to join. it's supposed to be a music forum, but it's sort of digressed into a small number of people that all kind of know each other. some new blood can't be a bad thing, right?

Well the last few posts really make sense to me - thanks a bunch; I thought I was being a greedy pig wanting to change my carts or drip on them all the time so nice to know it's not just me that looses the throat hit very quickly with my model. Still a darn good smoke though - lol!
Going to see if I can check out some youtube and other links to see what this vapour king is like and might be lucky to find someone in the uk or here(?!) that sells them - very interesting sounding - Excited!!

so I discovered that mixing menthol with the last bit of virginia juice makes for a very nice combo--not too minty, not too mild. thanks for the tip!

I Agree with Crystal... I myself have noticed that i am not addicted to Nicotine, just really the Hand to mouth action....

sometimes getting a little hit of nicotine feels nice though i must say

 

[SpiffyLawn]

I have the same problem you have. Loss of throat hit. What I have noticed is that I have to do a lung hit or either allow a little air to enter my mouth as I am drawing on the vaporizer to be able to feel the hit. Same problem with new attys also, so I don't think it's the atty. I use a 510 with standard batteries.
