th troubles!

[WebMistress89]

Do any of you every get the feeling of just sucking air when you take a drag? like no substance just air, and its kinda coldish.

also, I had a bunch of 18mg and 24mg juice and they all have pretty good TH but i just got like 5 things of 12mg coffee flavours and 1. they dont taste like anything really (maple leaf vapes - tims french vanilla,raspberry capp and caramel capp) and 2. there NO TH at all.

Is 12mg really too low for any TH?


Oh yeah and, nicotine wise I would be totally fine with 12mg but I need the TH or its not good enough... So not sure what to do?

well what is the pg/vg ratio what voltage are using and what carto or atty are u using.. and the nic in the liq hasa a lot to do with throat hit as well as the pg to vg ratio and also what hardware are you using...and it also depends on what the lig was cut with such as water or alchol all these thing play a part in the throat hit... i know with bobbas bounty at 24mg of nic gives me no throat hit tell i turn up the voltage to 6 volts then i get one so it all depends on what use and what is in the liq

I use the "volt" by smokeless image, and there cartos It gives me good TH with the higher mg juices.
And I am not sure the ratio, I think most are 60pg 40vg.

I was going to make an order though, And this site lets you choose any ratio, What would be the best for TH?

at the voltage you are smoking i would stay with the higher mg of nic and higher pg you wont get massive clouds of vapor but the throat hit will be there when i started about 4 years ago i started with a dse 801 and the throat hit was more important the the cloud of vapor so i always used 24 mg of nic and a higher pg ratio but now i still order 24mg of nic and i dont vape as much then when i use lower mg and the throat hit is still the most imprtant to me.. if you are trying to get the nic out of the picture i would recomend getting a vv mod or vw mod so you can still get the th with out the nic and i forgot to metion earlier that the hotter you heat the liq the more of a throat hit you will get..

I think I will try ordering a higher pg ratio, with 18mg nic, I think I may have ordered mostly vg with the coffee ones that have no hit, still though there is barely any flavour to them wich is weird.

Is a VV something you have to build? or is it a kit/type of e-cig you buy?

If you want lower nic and don't mind menthol, try some menthol drops or menthol crystals. I go high vg, probably 50/50 and add menthol or you can add pga(everclear, vodka or even 150 proof rum) I get loads of vapor and the. Both of best worlds.

how do i go about adding the vodka? and can i just buy menthol crystals from a vendor and then drop a couple in the liquid?

If you want to stay with 12 mg. you'll probably have to increase battery size so you can use LR cartomizers. Or increase the nic strength. Cartos and more pg help some, but the nicotine is what gives the TH.

I have just started to diy and have not tried the pga method yet. but the crystals i got from Myfreedomsmoke.com and I believe ecigexpress sells them too. I am sure there are others that sell them also, just have to check around. If you use menthol crystals start with very little. And when i mean very little I'm talking a sliver of a piece. I put too much my first time and even 50/50 at 8mg it was like a bus hit the back of my throat. Just have to play around with it a little. I'm
with you on not caring about big nic levels, I too just need a good throat hit, and warmth is something I need too and
that helps the TH. And like swedishfish suggested a bigger battery will help with that too. As far as adding pga check out the DIY threads in tips and tricks. Lots of good stuff in there about pga and menthol crystals.

vv is vari volt and i do agree use a lr carto or atty

Personally, for me, I control the amount of TH by altering my method of drawing in the vapor. If I want more TH, I fill my mouth as much as possible then draw it in to my throat/lungs. After a couple of these, to keep from coughing, I then will draw it in straight away.

Works for me, might for you too OP.

Ive had this discussion with friends and I am amazed at the amount of people that straight draw into their lungs...I have never done that. Ive smoked for 15 years, legal kinds and also the not so much variety and I always fill my mouth and then take it in. Any other way would make me gag half inhale and send me into cough seizures.

I always thought my way was the norm...but I guess not.

Well maybe it is, maybe it is. With smoking ANALOGS I tended to draw it in straight though, with vaping (and the umm, other that you mentioned) I almost always hold it in my mouth first!
