Nicotine is also a throat irritant as proven in research studies. Nothing wrong with throat irritants and nicotine is the stronger of the two irritants.

True but it seems IMO to be less harsh then high PG....... If you went with high 30mg nicotine and high PG levels...now the would be TH!

Nicotine and PG act as irritants but in diff ways. PG is a true basic irritant whereas Nicotine actually triggers both irritant sensors and pain-inhibitory systems in the brain...also releases endorphins (endogenous opiates). That's the reason nicotine TH is "nicer"- not only the TH but also the activity to counter this "pain". They strongly believe this pain and reward/ endorphin process is key to tobacco addiction.

Edit: Actually I began vaping 70/ 30 PG/ VG X 36 mg X 50-60 ml per week. Also added menthol after the first month to smooth it out. This was on 1.7 ohms XL cartos at 3.7 volts Mech Mod.

Or you could learn to direct drip....attys give the best flavor and vapor .....
Without getting into RBA's HH357's cant be beat.... Expensive-Yes Long life-Yes Great vapor and taste-Yes The best disposible atty available IMO Custom HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

i have heard that about direct dripping but im a really on the go person I really need something super easy i like idea of direct dripping but with 2 kids jumping all over you all the time having a nic juice bottle around doesnt seem like that greatest idea although it might be a good though for at night after the kiddies have gone to bed :D

From my experience, clearos tend to mute the throat hit a little as well. If you can't find the right juice to get you where you want with those then you might try a carto.

I agree with this. Both cartomizers and atomizers provide a less "airy" draw and a little better TH from my experience.

A 5ml tank cartomizer set-up is what many of us use. It gets me through 12 - 13 hours of vaping with no need to top off.

The clearomizer you have is non rebuildable/ disposable. They are now available as rebuildable.

Different delivery systems:- note bolded Atty, Carto, etc is the abbreviated form

Atomizer/ Atty- an element on to which 3-4 drops of juice is dripped- usually used for testing new juices because Attys are easy to clean. There are some diehard Atty users because it’s the best vape possible but very time consuming.

Cartridge/ Cart- a container with sponge (filled with juice) that is used with the Atty- juice drips on to Atty from filled cart and is vaporized- older outdated first “tank” system and prone to leaks unless the user is willing to buy extra seals and “fiddle” with them.

Cartomizer/ Carto- metal tube with stuffing and element. Holds anywhere form 1- 4 ml of juice. Carto is fully saturated and must be occasionally refilled when juice runs out. My Cartos last 1-2 weeks. Best Cartomizer I’ve found is the Smok Tech XL 1.7 single coil. Boge 2.0 ohm cartos will give a cooler vape. Always use single coil cartos with 3.3- 3.7 PVs for the best vape.

Carto+Tank- a Carto with a hole punched in it. Carto is than placed in a glass, metal or plastic tank which is filled with juice- juice saturates Carto by way of hole in Carto. My Cartos with a tank last, before tight draw occurs: light juices- 80-90 ml. dark juices- 50-60 ml.

Clearomizer (includes the Stardust and the Vivi Nova)- a plastic or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing. The rebuildable clearos come with heads (coil+ wick) that can be cheaply and easily replaced. When the head burns out simply unscrew the old head out and screw in new head- takes 10 secs. My Vivi Nova heads are lasting about 10 weeks BUT I wash the heads every few days. I've found the Vivi Nova to give the best draw.

I agree dripping is definitely the best vape available. If I had to do it all over again I would make absolutely sure I owned a bottom feeder Mod.

Yes. Without a tank cartomizers have to be continually refilled unless using a carto tank. Here's my history of juice delivery devices:
On a 3.7 Mech Mod and other 3.7 Volt PVs:
When I first began vaping I used Boge 2.0 ohm single coil cartos (1 ml). After 1 month I switched to Smok Tech XL 1.7 single coil cartos (1.8 ml). Next I used a carto+and tank (3ml) setup. When the cracking and wicking issues were resolved I got into Startdusts (1.6 ml).
On a Vamo and Spinners, Twists, Kgo 3.7 V, eGo 3.3 V, etc:
I now use the Mini Vivi Nova (2.0 ml) rebuildables as I feel they give a better draw and are far superior in quality. It is VERY important to match the correct ohms delivery device to the PV we are using otherwise, dry hits or a weak vape will occur.
