Mislabeled cartos?

[maxx]

Just wondering about something. I first ordered 24mg strength cartos and found them to be fairly strong, but not quite enough for me. This last order, I went to 36mg on two sample boxes (10 cartos). They are all labeled with 36mg (also the boxes), yet seem to be weaker than my 24mg were. Does mislabeling happen much? I haven't tested all of them but I have tried 4 from the tobacco samplers (2 menthol and 2 regular) and so far....they all are weak. This was using the USB passthru, if that makes a difference, but I tend to get a better hit from the passthru in any case.

some flavors are much stronger than others. 555's and coconut taste similar to me but I find coconut to be nearly twice as strong.

Yeah that what I was going to say... are they different flavs? My pineapple high seems way higher then my other high juices. I can tell a huge difference. There's a difference between a lot of them but that's the most noticeable.

Can only take a few drags before my heart starts racing, where as I can puff on my caramel frap for a solid 15 min.

Must be different formulas deliver the nicotine better or worse.

I am going to have to start taking notes...if just to help me decide on what my "brand" will be after I am done testing. I can say that my Kamel-24 gave me a stronger hit than my Cowboy-36. I already threw away the empties from a free sample box of fruit flavors (24) and just from memory, they all had more punch than my tobacco sampler-36. If the cartos in the 36 box are weak, it wouldn't be V4L fault at any rate....all of them are marked 36mg. This being a new industry, I expect there will be some problems now and then in production, so not complaining or anything. Just curious if it was common to have wide variation.

Even if it tastes stronger it doesn't necessarily mean you are getting more or less nicotine.

I don't have the vocabulary of vaping yet. In some threads, I felt like I was reading another language. So I find it difficult to explain sometimes. Basically....I was defeating my cravings with less vapes on the 24mg than on the 36mg....which is not what I would expect. Should be the reverse I would think...stronger dose....less vapes.

We'll see how it goes through the rest of the sampler boxes.

Well the only two I've tried so far are coconut and 555 36mg's heh, but they both are great.

If don't know if you mean its stronger because of throat hit, but just give it some time and try it out for awhile. With cigarettes you never knew how much nicotine you were getting anyway, it will take a few days to find out how much is right for you. I vape 24mg. I was at almost two packs a day. Maybe that will help

Yeah it's strange but I noticed that too... it's the flavors I guess. Some of them just satisfy me more then others. While peach cobbler tastes delish it doesn't do much for my cravings.. just a tasty vape. Where I can take a few drags off 555 and I'm good to go. You might even find lower nic levels more satisfying because they have more flavor.

You'll find your sweet spot just takes a little time.

(oh and sorry about the stupid question about different flavors earlier... obviously I wasn't paying close enough attention..lol)

I have felt the same thing with the Menthol Carts. The menthol cart has always been my go to cartomizer when im having a nic fit but with my last order of 36mg Menthol Carts they were very weak to me. They dont deliver that stinging TH to i come to love, especially when i need it most. I know they have increased the VG percentage in the juices but i can't believe that this factor has contributed to the reduced TH all by itself. I have juices that have 30%VG in them and they still pack a punch.

I've noticed that over time, I've gotten more accustomed to the TH as I vape. When I first switched from analogs, the TH was so harsh on EVERY flavor that I was worried I wouldn't be able to vape much. Nowadays, even the harshest TH flavors have gotten easy to vape.

Cravings are mostly mental, so maybe if you feel less TH, you automatically think you're getting less nicotine?
