problem with vape strength and flavor help!

[steve387]

Hi I just began truly vaping recently with a vision spinner 1300 mah a xl tank 19mm from ibtanked and 3.2 Smoktech cartomizers. vaping mango 60/40 from hoosierecig. I switched from a generic rechargable cigarette design and while the battery and tank endurance is better of course in.quantity, the flavor and vape is lacking huge! I have to hold down the button for 10 Seconds or do a double vape to even get a decent taste let alone vapor. With my generic cheap ecig i had previous i would need only a 3 second hit or less for similar smoke! Please help. What happened to the flavor and strong vape I enjoyed? Feels like its just snailing its way out on this supposed good setup i thought? Very upset. Why is a disposable rechargeable ecig that I filled with some of the mango hitting like a champ and my tank setup with the spinner on max voltage just sucking? Pleassse help.

I prefer 80/20 mixes. 32 to 36 mg at @ 4 to 4.2 volts for good taste and throat hit.
(your disposable was prolly a 80/20 mix)

try to lower your ohm. in 3.2 ohm you need a better voltage on your pv.. i suggesttry to buy 1.8 or 2.4 ohms.

well, it may cost a couple of bucks, but I hear the Provari with new RBA's are the way to go....can't go wrong

 

[steve387]

Ordering 2.0s tomorrow figured this might be the case. You mean 80% VG or 80% pg? Does VG/pg effect t the way the flavors taste? I like to taste the flavor when in my mouth/throat or exhaling thru my nose a bit not a lot but decent. Or does VG and pg just effect the throat hit and vapor? I'd prefer flavor and decent vapor but flavor over vapor any day. Just want to taste the flavors the best but the vapor is very low as well, its 60/40 pg/VG btw

 

[steve387]

Eventually I'll be expanding my arsenal, but sticking with this setup to start. Just want to find some nice flavors and my pg/VG ratio before I get to confident lol and the cargo tanks are pretty simple and painless ----And by 32-36 mg you mean nicotine? My nicotine is 18 mg currently, don't wanna go up much on that, or is there a way I can request stronger flavors at Hoosier? I'm not DIY for a bit until I gain more firsthand experience

+1 Provari with new RBA's are the way to go

80 PG effects taste and throat hit, VG gives u more smoke or mist rather. I get plenty of clouds with 80/20. Some people are allergic to PG and have to use 100% VG, others prefer more vg for the extra vape cloud. I find it reduces taste and throat hit. You should still feel some improvement with a 2 ohm, tho I would still try a 80/20 mix next time. Also, the more vg the thicker the juice and could result in clogs or burning out your cart faster. Some may disagree, but this has been my observation.

I hear ya brother, just figured I'd help ya save time and $ on inferior upgrades...

 

[steve387]

Very informing I did not know pg boosts the taste. As I just ordered more 60/40 I will have to wait until next week to try thart out but it sounds promising. Anything to boost the flavor lol, VG gives the more visual vapor, but doesn't pg offer the same actual amount, but more clear and less visible I would think? I don't mind sacrificing vapor. Rather have the flavor back first. It doesn't seem just that though, its like the amount being sent to me is so small like I can hear it burning but the smoke doesn't feel like its being delivered fast enough for satisfying hit or taste or Vale. Maybe the ohms will solve that problem perhaps. If not maybe I need to try some customized cartos, I hear that some are much better than the smoketechs, and if need be I might switch to punching myself, yet not sure if that's beneficial until I find the cartomizers that best suit me. I'd gladly pay 3-4 dollars a carto if its top notch performance I get prepunched 2 holes right now,

I got u 100% and I do appreciate solid advice, I'm just so new to this I wanna find my flavors etc before I just to something like that, I just feel that I lack the knowledge and want to learn a bit more before I go for a mega setup lol and also I wanna get my moneys worth out of this one for a bit lol

I would have quit vaping long ago if not for dicovering PROVARI and getting some of the finer vendor juices available.
Remember, you get what you pay for.

+1 primer post, it's so rare u have to +1 it or it will vanish.

don't get a provari! it's all lies

 

[Horselady154]

With a carto-tank, thicker juice takes longer to get into your carto. It may not be fast enough for the amount that you are vaping. So, either thin the juice with a couple of drops of distilled water, or order some juice that is higher PG. Higher PG also provides more flavor.

Be sure and prime your carto really well too.

Why on earth would you say that? They are great devices.

But he shouldn't have to get one in order to have a decent vape.

Steve, lot of good info here.

Suggestion: Find a post by Baditude, and look at his blog for all you need to know about how to use carto tanks properly.

Bear in mind that you might get better performance out of a carto tank on a device that has a higher amperage switch such as a VAMO or ProVari or one of the other many mods that are out there. The eGo's and Spinners are great devices, but I have the same issue with mine where the vapor production isn't as good on my eGo as it is on my VAMO from the carto tank. I typically use clearomizers like the Kanger T3 or the Stardust type on my eGo, but that's become my backup device now that I have the VAMO.
