Couple more questions while i'm stuck in this folder :p

So I got a mixing kit so I could ween myself of nicotine a bit and just vape some nice flavours. Some aqueous glycerine came with it. But I think I've been getting less of a throat hit with it than with the pre-filled carts i was using before. Is there much difference? Got any advice on how to increase hit? I've increased the flavour a bit and that seems to help.
And I get a... a very strong flavour from the habana reserve, but I don't like that at all.
I heard neat liquour can help but i'd rather stay away from alcohol. Any tips?

Oh yeah, and once the lint in my carts gets too worn out, what's a good replacement? I'd like to reduce waste. for the environment.

I am not familiar with the AG. I prefer the VG for mixing my own flavours and don't mind the PG with the premixed flavours. My friends also prefer the VG. The throat hit seems better with the VG.
As for the carts, that is personal preference. There are several mods on this forum. I switched to the tea bag method and love that over the "lint" that comes with the carts. The tea bag is very easy to make and clean for reuse.

VG usually increase vapor production and decreases TH. PG usually is better for TH. Strong flavor also can increase TH. High voltage nearly always increases TH. Pure grain alcohol can increase TH, but it is more useful for thinning VG down and sterilizing your equipment and tools than it is for TH.

Your "lint" is a polyester fiber. You can replace it with untreated polyester fiber, or the nylon from a pyramid tea bag, or the fish filter blue foam or... Plenty of posts to read on here about alternate cart filler even if you cannot start a post in that forum thread.
