So I traded analogs for vaping 3 weeks ago.I love vaping.But the one thing I miss about analogs is the throat hit.I cant seem to get a good enough throat hit.I used to treat myself now and then by buying a pack of straights.I have ce5 and evod clearos and I bought an ego vv passthrough.I have tried juices with really high pg.To the point I had a reaction.If Im right I would need an rba.My problem is I have nerve damage from many spinal problems.I cant do the rebuilding of such small parts.I've tried rebuilding coils on my clearos and I cnat do it. So what do I need to do to get more throat hit? Maybe a better vv? Thanks for your advice. Happy Thanksgiving.

I should also mention.I can run the batteries all the way to the 10 sec cut and still not get a good enough throat hit.

Hey Tim, a variable voltage device can help. Suggestion vision spinner or ego twist AND lower resistance evod heads. (1.8). That will help throat hit. Also it may have to do with juice quality as well. I have some juice that kicks hard as a mule and others that provide no throat hit at all. Even when used on the same device. I use 24mg. I recently got a Nemesis clone and a Russian 91%, build my coils at 1.3-1.5 with cotton and had to cut back to 18mg due to the throat hit. The Russian is very easy to build because of the design. Good luck

Do you know the ohms of your evods and and how much nicotine are you using? What kind of juice are you vaping? We can only make wild guesses until we know what you are doing now.
The best ways to increase your throat hit is by raisng your nicotine or the amount of vapor you getting. You can incease the amount of vapor either by raising the voltage or lowering the ohms in your coils. Different juices also have more or less hit.

At 2.5 ohms, then standard eGo fixed batteries may have problems driving them. If you are married to your batteries, you can try ordering 2.2 ohm or 1.8 ohm heads. However, this isn't a silver bullet since head resistance can very as much as +/- .2 ohms.

A variable voltage battery will allow you to adjust the voltage of the battery up until you get a good flavor/vapor production/throat hit profile.

A variable wattage battery is even easier since the battery will read the resistance of the attached atomizer and will adjust the voltage automatically to equal the wattage set by the user. This means your vape will be more consistent as you swap out tanks and heads. You won't have to recalculate or readjust the battery every time you switch tanks or swap out heads.

I love the Innokin Itaste vv3. It is both variable voltage and variable wattage so you can choose what you prefer. It is also very affordable, feature rich, and easily the best eGo style battery out there.

There are others out there as well, but for bang for the buck, I would say that the Itaste vv3 or the MVP 2.0 would be the way to go

You probably already know that there is no substitute for nic to get throat hit. But here are some ideas to SIMULATE throat hit.

1) lower resistance heads
2) higher voltage
3) menthol crystals/flavor
4) less air flow to coil
5) additives like Diablo loco, flash or q hit
6) steeping juice in chilli seeds.

The suggestions only simulate TH, and can never replace nic for the TH. Your best bet would be to get some 100mg and mix it down to 36mg

Like what was mentioned, a variable voltage/wattage mod will help. Vamo v2 are pretty cheap at FT and they are good. Just get the mod from them, batteries and tank stuff from vendors here, better gear.

Some flavors that are added to juice will add TH. Also, the more PG in you juice, the higher the TH, more VG gives you more vapor, but less TH. You sure don't need to increase you mg level, I use 18 and it's more than enough for most.

You can add cinnamon to that list....it gives a nice throat hit. You can get cinnamon roll from Mt Baker or maybe add some cinnamon flavor to some apple flavored juice or something.

Do you have a vape shop near you? I'm pretty sure if you do, and it's a good shop, someone there would be more than willing to build coils for you. Most the people that work at shops are going to be people really into vaping. I bet if you wanted to go rebuild able just explain to someone at the shop your situation and you will have no problem getting some coils put together.

Lmao! the Pbusardo Legal vape 4000.That is funny. Ik.Im gonna get the 1.8 ohm coils and try that.Also, the itaste vv 3 or MVP are on my Christmas list anyway.I just need to figure out which one to start with.(notice I said start with) lol. Anyway,thanks for all the help.I definatly dont want to increase my nic level.

Two things:

1. You should only use the lower resistance atty's on the fixed voltage battery. It's a way to coax pull more watts from the fixed voltage battery, it will increase your drain and lower length of charge on the battery. With a VV battery, and a 2.5ohm coil you can drive the same power at lower amps, thus you won't drain the battery as quickly.

6.5 watts @ 2.5 ohms draws 1.61 amps
6.5 watts @ 1.8 ohms draws 1.90 amps

7.0 watts @ 2.5 ohms draws 1.67 amps
7.0 watts @ 1.8 ohms draws 1.97 amps

2. As far as which one to get first, the iTaste vv3 or MVP. That depends. If portability is more important, then the itaste vv3 has a smaller form factor and has the familiar eGo form factor (It's square not round, but that's actually a plus). However it only pushes 850 mAh so you will need to charge it after 6 to 8 hours of vaping depending on your use. (This is somewhat mitigated by the USB passthrough which allows you to vape while charging.). If vaping time between charges is more important, the MVP is the one to get. It has a 2600 mAh battery which should ensure all day vaping on a single charge. It is heavier and larger, (kind of like grabbing a pack of smokes). It will also serve as a backup power supply so you can charge your cell phone off of it. Other than that the features are pretty much identical. Voltage and Wattage range on both devices are identical.

vaporrenu offers an option for their liquids to add more throat hit...

Also I suggest a zues https://www.vapor4life.com/vapor-zeus-ecigarette-starter-kits

It comes with smileos (large fillable cartomizers) I like using their tanks on mine. Also a note about their tanks... unlike a lot of plastic tanks theirs is made of a plastic that will not crack or melt when using certain liquids. (not an issue with the smileos)
I have 3 zues's and love them! (also they have a 1 year warranty)
