throat hit and tobaccos

[moonlight]

I have some Honey Flue Nut 24mg (10 days old) and some Applwood 18mg (5 days old)

Both taste wonderful, but the throat hit is a little too intense for me. Is that because of the high nic content? Will it mellow out after some time?

If not, what is the best way to calm that down...buy some 0mg and mix? I don't want to dilute the excellent flavor!!

I also have some other flavors at both 24mg and 18mg and they don't have such a strong hit. It seems to be with just the BWB tobaccos, though I've only tried the two.

Also, I'll be getting a high voltage device in a few days. I've only vaped at 3.7V so far though. Any tips for switching from 3.7V to 6V?

A 6v device will have a higher wattage, so you'll probably get even more throat hit...

TH comes from heat (wattage), PG, and Nicotine... some flavors also increase throat hit. If you're not willing to give up the PG, the heat, or the flavor... then drop the nic levels down. Buy an equal amount of 12mg to make 18mg... or an equal amount of 0 to make 12mg... or an equal amount of 6 to make 15 mg...

That would be my plan then...buy 0mg of both. And maybe a 306 atty...I've never tried that one. Only 901s.

306s are great, but theres a learning curve. What battery/PV do you use? Are you dripping?

Going to 6v and/or LR attys will likely increase the amount of throat hit, especially with a 306 atty. As Chornbro said, wattage determines the amount of heat present at the coil. The more heat, the more throat hit. The following thread explains this in more detail.

Biff,

I read that thread and it was very informative. You explained it in layman terms very nicely and now I understand it a lot better now. I do have a question that comes to mind though.

If the wire in the carto,atty is what is determining the resistance and you have say 1.5ohm and a 3.5ohm one and set them to run at the same wattage, wouldn't there still be a difference in how it taste and or hits. LR atty would have a thinner/shorter wire vs the HR with thicker/longer wire.
Seems more surface area could have a impact on a lot of that, am I wrong in assuming that? Also in theory the HR one would last quite a bit longer, yes?

right now I use a 901 (now, an LR) on a 3.7v device and it's the same set up I've run for the whole 2 years I've been vaping. This set up works real nice for me, so I haven't really educated myself about any of the other formats.

Now I'm getting a GGTS so I'll have a lot more options for voltage and Atty style.

Since I've heard good things about the 306 (here ) and can get them at BWB, I thought I'd try that one first.

Oh yeah, and I drip.

Also, I wanted to add that throat hit has never been a problem before and I usually get 24mg juice. And even the other BWB flavors I have don't hit as hard as both the tobaccos. Maybe it's just a matter of becoming accustomed to the tobacco flavor that Don uses, which I'm definitly willing to do it has such a niiiiiice authentic taste without that ciggie-icky....like how a pipe or good cigar smells...

There are different gauges of nichrome wire. Assuming the same gauge of wire, the length of the wire determines the resistance. That doesn't guarantee more surface area, but more than likely HV attys do have a bit more.

As for lasting longer, that's what I hear, but I can't say from experience. HV vaping wasn't for me, so I stick to 3.7v with 1.5 ohm Cisco attys. I get at least a month from each atty assuming I don't accidentally burn it out from a pocket misfire. For $9 a month, I haven't been concerned with finding longer lasting attys.
