...with 80%PG and 24mg nic, you should be getting pretty good throat hit already so, I gotta ask...what PV are you using...PG and nic level are directly related to TH and both of yours are already pretty high, if you are using a ciggy sized unit, you may need to move upto a Riva/Kgo or E-Power and add some LR attys/cartos or get a variable or higher voltage device............

Many vendors, even if they don't offer it higher than 24, if you ask them, they'll make it for you.

When I first started I wanted a high nic juice for those times when I had serious cravings and vapor bomb made a 30 mg. juice for me.

this is the best advice EVER!!! Thank you, thank you!!

Currently I am using a 2.8-3 oHM fluxomizer, with a (510) 320 mAH batt. I plan to get a better device soon, just waiting for the holidays to pass before I spend moolah on myself ;)

Something like a KGO that's 4.2 volts with a low resistance cartomizer will definitely help.

Fluxomizers tend to mute flavors anyway.

Vapor Station has higher nic juice but a higher volt battery with LR cartos would probably do the trick.

Maybe even a pass-through with some LR cartos.

...as quick as you are able, get your hands on something like the Kgo or the E-Power and some 1.7ohm Resurrectors...all by themselves, they will rock your world compared to what you are using right now...believe me, as a po' boy myself, I understand the money deal BUT, when you can, upgrade your gear and be amazed............

Well, I did an internet search for a KGO ... and I bought one!! I also purchased 1.5 ohm cartomizers. I have never used a carto, so we will see how it goes. Now i'm so excited to know I might get a better hit, I like what I've been using but to know I can do better ...woohoo!!

your setup will change the throat hit. 1.5ohm cartos are maybe on the low side but will still work and you will get the desired effect.
just remember to fill the cartomizer until you get a drop out from the bottom, before you start using it. you can drip straight into the filler (thats what i do).
itll be fun to see what you think of your new unit :)

I have a juice that I purchased from a vendor, 24mg 80pg/20vg but I'm lacking throat hit, is there anything I can add to it w/out weakening the flavor but increase throat hit? I really really like this liquids flavor!

You can buy throat hit plus on a site- I do not have the link but if you google those three words it will come up.

I gotta be honest this whole ohm thingy confused me. I've had it explained to me more than once and still get confused. May I ask what you mean by low (at 1.5 ohm)? Is a higher ohm, hotter producing more TH? Or do you get more throat his from the lower the ohm? And what do dual coils do for TH? And what the heck is LR all about??

Ugh ....

To answer your question easily, using the same device, a lower ohm (LR) atomizer or cartomizer, makes for greater watts-and therefore a hotter and bigger throat hit. One tradeoff is that LR atomizers/cartomizers IMO make flavor less. Dual coils, for me, do well on flavor-and they make for more vapor (2 coils gives greater surface area to vaporize). For dual coils, the same concept applys-the lower the ohm number, the hotter and bigger the throat hit.

So 1.5 dual cartos are ideal? If I wanted hotter I would use 1.25 dual coil, and if I wanted to cool it down maybe a single coil 2.0??

if you are going to use 1.25ohm cartos, you better have a unit that can support that. a 510 pen style or ego/rivas wont hold up to it.
if i were you, i wouldnt go lower than 2.0ohm which is considered low resistance (LR).

the higher the ohm on the carto, the more volts you need on your pv.

2 ohm are good for units that crank out anywhere from 3.3 ohms to 4volts (ego, riva, 510 etc etc).

3 ohm cartos are perfect for 5 volts and above (variable voltage and any other 5+volt device).

GENERALLY, you could say that the lower the ohm, the more vapor and throat hit, for ex.... if i use a 3.0 ohm carto on my 3.7v device, you get very little vapor and throat hit.

if i use a 2.0ohm carto on a 3.7v device, i get awesome vapor and throat hit.

i hope i didnt confuse you more? lol
