Throat hit questions.

[Ty89m]

I've recently been using a LR 1.4 ohm atomizer with my Silver bullet and kick, and find I get a great throat hit, even with lower nic juice. But as soon as I switched to a 2.5 ohm it vanishes. What has me most concerned is the fact that the new atty is a HH357. Now with my kick set to 9 watts, it should be creating the same heat as the 1.4 ohm atty. So wondering why my throat hit has vanished? I'd have thought the HH 357 would've provided an even better TH, but no such luck. Perhaps I'm better off using cheap LR attys for the time being. Any idea why this might be?

I wonder if it has anything to do with what setting you are using. Meaning, that it is unable to produce the same wattage with the 2.5 ohm atty with the setting you are using. I don't have any experience with a kick but 2.5 ohms isn't exactly a high resistance. Hmm...

Yeah I'm just not sure. I'll be trying it on my Provari when I get home, hopefully that will make this atty really shine. I really want to love the 357, but when my cheap LR atty performs like it does, even after a month, I have a hard time wanting to buy anything else. I'm stumped.

Just an aside, but there are mixed reviews on the 357. I don't know what to make of them as I use a cheap smoke tech dripping atty. I know it's supposed to be high end.

How's your flight training going?

I've been so busy with work that I've only logged another 2 hours in the last 2 weeks Every little bit counts though! I think my estimate of getting my ticket by the end of this month has gone out the window! But, gotta work to pay for the lessons

I certainly understand that. Hang in there! An hour a week is about the minimum rate your going to want to maintain to keep current after you get your ticket.

I couldn't agree more. It's tourist time here in Bozeman, so things are getting a bit hectic. Plus we've been short handed at work, as one of our employees is recovering from hip replacement surgery. Once things die down, and he returns, I'll be back to a normal schedule. Then back at it I'll go

I've got an update. I've taken my drip shield and adapter off the 357, and noticed the air flow has changed for the better. I also think it has to do with the break-in of the 357. Like other atomizers, as you know, take a bit to get going. Things are improving a bit. We'll see how things progress. I've heard it can take upward of two weeks for the 357 to vape at its full potential.

Good to hear. Didn't know drip shields could do that.

 

[Ty89m]

I didn't either, usually my drip shields tighten up the draw, and I find that I like the tighter draw. The jury is still out on my new HH, but we'll see.

If I had to vape anything for two weeks before getting a great vape I think the maker should be paying me. Just my YMMV

I think you need to kick it up when it comes to flying and being proficient.

When working on my PPL I found that putting in at least 4 hours a week made a big difference.

As I mentioned earlier I only vape with a carto when I'm flying inverted. Otherwise I use a Attie 95% of the time. You can drip inverted but it takes a little bit of practice.

I like a lr atomizer on a 3.7 volt device. It gives good vapor.
