New to Vaping - What's with the Thickness of the Sauce?

[jaimie]

I got an eGo-T set last Sunday and the smoke shop I bought it at sells Spokane Super Sauce. I chose the Raspberry in high nicotine to start out. ...Today I went back and got Root Beer in a medium (neither bottle of the sauce is marked concerning amount of juice or any exact nicotine content!) level and the stuff is really quite thick compared to what I bought the other day. It seems to make it harder to get a good hit.

Any advice? Can I/ should I add vegetable glycerin or something to thin it out? I'm on Welbutrin, so nic content isn't a big deal.

 

[Jerri Ross]

VG is actually what makes it thick! You can add PG to thin and give a bigger throat hit, or add a few drops of distilled water. Yes, VG is hard to vape! 50/50 is a really good spot for most.

Your using cartomizers right? If not, GO GET SOME!! Save time, $, and trouble lol! I love my eGo! and iVape has great little eGo pass throughs for pretty cheap. In fact, now I use nothing but my passthrough. So easy! Never need a seperate charger. Just have a car usb port, and one at home, and your good to go for months!

 

[jaimie]

Thank you, Jerri! I'll be getting some PG and trying it out today.... wait. I have some distilled water right here.

I'm not familiar with the terminology quite yet, is a cartomizer the little plastic thing you fill and press onto the end of the atomizer/tank? If so, then yes. Googling passthrough... lol I've just been charging w/ my computer. The eGo I bought came with 2 batteries and tanks, so it's easy to just keep one charged up.

Love your quote. It's one of my favorites.

 

[Jerri Ross]

No, a carto is like atomizer and cart in one, they are fantastic, seriously! iVape has them too. I like the LR on my ego best:
eGo | Cartomizers | iVAPE
And heres a passthrough: The 1000mah kicks sooo much ...!!

Passthroughs | iVAPE

And thanks!! I love it too haha!

 

[jaimie]

I can see I have much to learn.

My Vaping Kung-Fu is weak. Thank you, Master! lmao!

 

[jaimie]

Here's what I have, Jerri.

When I look up the passthroughs it looks like the LEA (whatever that is) is what I have.

@Jaimie, I think from some vendors they consider high nicotine content to be 18-24mg and medium 11-16mg. That is what I found to be the case when I started and not all vendors gave you a mg choice, (only high, med, or low).

@Jerri Ross, What do you vape when out with friends and not in your car or inside your house? It's a little hard to socialize with a passthrough that only sucks air, isn't it? Passthroughs are good but you need an energy source at all times to use them...... Please keep in mind this is not a jab at you, but do you only vape at home or in your car? I have found, (as others also), I like to and feel the urge to vape in other places as well.....

My GF has that model. I'd call them Tanks before I called them anything else. I'm sure someone will coin a term for them if they haven't already. Tankomizer or something clever. The Ego T has a batter, atomizer, and tank. I think those are the only 3 parts to them.

@Jaimie, this is what Jerry Ross was talking about: TORNADO-T Manual Passthrough - Black

As far as the terminology is concerned, what you are using is know as a "carto". This is different than a cartomizer, as they have an atomizer built into them. What you have is a refillable carto that goes into the end of an atomizer.

 

[jaimie]

That's right, Jayleekay... There are only three parts to it. Pretty cool and I love it so far. Quit smoking after almost 30 years last Sunday (my b-day present to myself). and I'm doing fine so far. Even handling the stress my husband brings on okay, so far. ha!

I'm sorry, but thats wrong also.

Carto is short for cartomizer.
Cart is short for cartridge.

A cartridge plugs into an atomizer. A cartomizer is a cartridge and atomizer in a one-piece disposable unit.

The eGo-T uses "Tanks" that plug into an atomizer but they are basically cartridges with no filler.

The fact that 1000mAh was mentioned as "kicking ..." indicates that she is talking about a 1000mAh eGo passthrough battery. It's not a true passthrough but simply a battery that you can use and charge at the same time.

Aha, Musichead! TY!

Yes, I stand corrected.... Been a long time since I last used or even looked at one. Was thinking I typed the wrong thing. Thanks again for pointing it out as not all of us know everything and the world we live in is ever changing.... I stopped looking when I started dripping full time and have been in a world of my own with the vapor and the taste of my juice being sometimes overwhelming at times. I had no idea what I liked and disliked until I dripped at LR. Was happy with LR510's and now that i've started using LR306's there's no turning back......

 

[jayleekay]

Let me know if you find a good case for it. I bought her an egocase that was red. I thought it was small but the thing is too big! I wanted to get her something that would just fit 1 of her assembled units, an extra tank, and a 10ml bottle. This thing is big enough for both her kits, 5+ tanks, 2 bottles of 10ml juice and possibly more.

I added about 5 drops distilled water. MUCH BETTER.

You guys rock! Thanks very much. .... where do you get your juices and what flavors do you like best?

Nice! I was thinking of just getting a stupid glasses case. heheheh ...or making my own out of leather or something.

 

[jayleekay]

That's actually a really good idea. glasses case, cutout foam, and wala!

I pretty much am a menthol guy and use DeKang 24mg Menthol, (DEKANG 30ML 24MG MENTHOL), and mix it down with straight VG which puts it at or around 18mg or so. The VG gives me more vapor production. I have tried several others out there but this is the one that satisfies my taste for an all day vape.

Umm... not quite... carto=tube w/a cheap atomizer surrounded by a wick and a cotton looking material called polyfill
Cart-plastic mouthpiect containing polyfill that gets put inside an atomizer.
