Newbie Help - Looking for a bigger Hit

[Klute]

Well I hit the 8 day mark and have not lite up... Straight vaping. Did have a tough one when all the cigars came out one night, but pulled out my Cigar juice and Cart.

Just a few questions: (eGo)

A. I tried the carts, but it seemed the hit was not as great as using the small filters. Seems like after 6 or 7 hits, I am back to adding more drops in the filter. Is this normal?

B. Flavor - I bought a redbull ejuice and it seems like the first few days it was full of flavor. Now that I am through half the bottle I am getting a weak flavor. Not sure if its my taste buds...

C. Burn Flavor - Using a small filter, after 7 hits, I am tasting the burnt smoke.

D. Hit & Vapor - I am looking for a big hit and plenty of Vapor. When buying juice, what do you look for or whats in the juice that gives this the kick?

Sorry so many questions, but I am loving the Vap but feeling a little worried, as the the urge for the big hit looming over me....

Thanks so much in advance

A. what carts are you using? how many drops do you initially put in?

B. it's a good chance that's your taste buds changing. i had some that tasted great and then i could barely taste anything from the liquid. my roommate said it still tasted exactly the same as the first time he tried it.

C. if you're getting a burned flavor the cart is too dry. you need to add more liquid then.

D. if you want more vapor, go with a higher VG %. you don't say what you're using now, but an 80/20 PG/VG mix is a good place to start. higher nic levels will help increase the TH, same goes for higher voltage devices. some flavors are also stronger than others. i use Atomic Cinnacide from Tasty Vapor as a daily vape and it's got a lot of flavor.

Well, there are a few things you can try for more "oomph"...

Low Resistance attys or cartomizers.

Dripping (you can do this without an official "drip tip" )

Up the MG of your juice (DIY, or check out some alternate suppliers who offer high strength)

Higher voltage. The eGo runs at 3.2 volts; my 'sweet spot' seems to be around 3.7. 5v mods are fairly common. (but don't go over 4v with LR attys, unless you really want to find out what an atty does when the coil pops, lol).

Remeber, PG gives more throat hit, VG gives more vapor production. I mix 'em about 80%PG, 20% VG.

 

[DocWyatt]

Yeah, buy LR atomizers and/or LR cartomizers. It will give a much stronger hit. There is no question in that.

You might try mega cartomizers on the eGo, pretty big hit and you don't have to refill so often. Also I picked up a Mega Atomizer, that delivers a pretty big hit, but I don't have a lot of patience with carts.

 

[DocWyatt]

I don't think carto's will get him to where he wants. Carto's definitely have less hit than atty/cart combo. They are just far easier.

The only answer is 2.

1. LR atomizer
2. Better juice w/ possibly higher nic.

I just got 24mg juice from FSUSA. Whether it is the juice or the 24mg, not sure, but the TH is more. Probably a combination of the two is my guess.

On the juice side of things, FreedomSmokeUSA came out with PureCig flavor about a week or so ago and its got a great throat-hit with good vapor production. Good tasting flavor in my opinion. May be getting a bigger bottle soon...

 

[Krisb]

I'd either do either a higher PG in the juice for TH, LR atty, drip tip...or a nice 5v mod...you will have much more warm strong vapor with a 5v and a much stronger TH than any non-mod

Sounds like you may have more than one thing going on. Time to experiment and hopefully figure out how to get your vape back. The previous posts all gave great advice, just a question of which solution(s) will work. By the way, I’m going to assume that when you mention carts, you really mean cartos and when you say small filters, you mean carts.

Possible problems:

1. You’re not getting enough juice to your atty.
2. You’re atty has gotten gunked up after a week’s use and needs to be cleaned (didn’t see this mentioned yet.)
3. You’ve gotten used to the vapor and need more kick to get the same results you got when you started.

Try dripping. Lots of threads on how to do it, 2 or 3 drops directly onto the atty bridge instead of in the cart. If your vape improves you aren’t getting enough juice to the atty. Possible solutions include cart mods, dripping, using cartos or juice feed systems.

Try a new, unused atty (blown out of course). If that helps you need to clean your other atty.

If none of these help, your tastes may have changed. Try something that’s low resistance, consider a high voltage battery mod/5 volt passthrough or some new juice.

If you're using a 510 threaded PV get yourself some Cisco LR 306 attys, these things pump out the vapor and provide a great throat hit.

I've been trying to get my wife going on e-cigs, but she's a stubborn broad and doesn't have the patience for anything e-cig, and has decided the only juice she'll touch is an ry4 that doesn't vape very well (and tastes awful to me). Long story short, she'd run a cart dry or a battery dead (510s) and toss the thing to the side and buy a pack of smokes. Or flood the atomizer, and buy a pack of smokes. Etc.

So I built her a fancy 5v box mod and filled a bunch of cartomizers for her. She hasn't put it down since. I'm going to build one for myself next - the thing's a monster.

Thanks for everyones help and assistance. Great appreciated.

I added a photo on the bottom to show my kit. Dont know the size of the Cart sorry... :-(

I have noticed that my small filters are staying moist but not getting much of a vapor and will only accept one or two drops to refill. I tried washing them out and cleaning them, and takes about 8-10 drops. Then refilling with a few drops ervey few hits. Getting a little burn taste. I may need to the atty a cleaning But did notice the juice is very thick.

I really dont know the mix of the ejuice I bought sorry. It didnt have an option. But good to know that PG is the Hit, and VG is the vabor. I never even noticed if the vapor was heated or not and dint know it could be.

What is the diffrence with a LZ atomizer? Will look through the threats to see how to clean and atomizer tonight.

I guess I am trying to recreate that first big vapor hits I got the first day or who. Who that was such a rush.... Seeking the ultimate hit I can see this can be just as addicative and fun...

Thanks Again

UPDATE:

Thanks to everyones comments..... I blew out the Atomizers, soaked them in Everclear and dryed the heck out of them. The burnt taste went away and did get more hit out of the cart. Learning as I go, and thanks for everyones support. Still looking for the ultimate hit

Have a great weekend...

UPDATE:

Still looking for the ultimate hit

..

LOL, when you find it, please share. I'm on the same quest.

 

[xxcarterxx]

I use the Cropduster. You can find them on facebook.

Wink wink lol

I used a couple different e-cigs, nothing hits like what I got now.

 

[Icoth]

Well I'm working on a new, secret battery mod. I call it the "Tesla", and as soon as I can get a few minor side effects worked out you folks are going to be impressed. It will make your hair stand on end.

When I first started vaping, a joye 510 was good enough to help me quit, but it wasn't long before I needed something that delivered a stronger hit. I bought an ego kit, some mega cartos, mega attys and a mega drip tip. The mega cartos seemed good at first, but I kept having to top them off and it seemed like I was wasting juice. I then tried the mega atty with a drip tip and that was it for me. I couldn't believe the TH and the amount of vapor I got with it. Good solid TH with lots of vapor. I drip about five drops and that lasts me about 15 vapes. I think if I would've kept using the 510 attys, I would've gone back to cigarettes.

I don't think carto's will get him to where he wants. Carto's definitely have less hit than atty/cart combo. They are just far easier.

I just got 24mg juice from FSUSA. Whether it is the juice or the 24mg, not sure, but the TH is more. Probably a combination of the two is my guess.

I mostly agree.... LR Cartos are, for me anyway, La Bomba! They seem to taste better, anyway.... and it's less hassle than dripping to a regular atomizer, less refilling than standard cart/atty combo. I'm using a LR carto right now (510 type, on my Indulgence at 3.7v), with a drip-tip in place of the little rubber stopper. The drip-tip just feels better, and makes "topping off" a whole lot easier... but I still only have to do it every once in a while as opposed to every few minutes. The LR carto vapes as well (or almost as well) as a standard LR atomizer, and tons better than a standard atty...

Cartos are good for avoiding the hassles of atty/cart or dripping, but won't improve the "hit". Still, don't count out LR cartos I love 'em.
