Throat Hit Technique

[wv2win]

What exactly is your point? Apparently your suggesting that I get/make a manual switch e-cig(a button that lets you control energy consumption) and 1000mAh battery(which has nothing to do with how powerful the batt is) will increase throat hits. Not rocket science indeed.

Let me explain, since you've proven to me, your ability to leave, twist, or overlook words/topics when our paths crossed last.

I wasn't talking about consistent throat hits that a mod provides, beause of it energy capacity.
I'm merely suggesting that technique needs to be considered into the factor of throat hits as well and the various models available may require different techniques from one to the other.
~"It's really quite simple."

Battery size and a manual switch has everything to do with consistent throat hit - it is that simple. You shouldn't have to go to "inhale school" to get good throat hit - and you don't. Why make something that is elementary so complicated?

Once again, you've proven my point. Are you not capable of reading words as they are?

Show me one sentence in my opening statement talking about consistent throat hits! My topic is about those who haven't been able to achieve throat hits in particular models.

Battery capacity has everything to do with constant throat hits, long lasting, minimal recharging, hours upon, upon hours, upon hours, of vaping. But....I wasn't talking about that.....was I?

But, I'm certain, you read it somewhere......between the lines.

OMG dedmonwakin - you're totally right! Thank you for posting about your experience. I'm new to this and don't really know my model numbers yet. I started over Easter weekend with a SmokingEverywhere e-cig and liked it. Then I read so many posts here putting it down and so many recommendations for the DSE-901 that I ordered one.

Until I just tried your advice I'd been very unhappy with the throat hit on the 901 and thought it felt wimpy. Now I get it! LOL

The SmokingEverywhere is an RN-4081.

Well, that does seem like the classic case of style over substance. I just don't want new users to get turned off from vaping because they don't get closer to the "hit" or consistency of analogs. But then, everone has their priorities.

I guess then, my suggestion would be to wait until a poster actually says they are about to give up on vaping. And the last time OUR paths crossed, was in the exact same context; a new user who CLEARLY stated she was looking for "an e-cig that closely resembles an analog..." and your first comment to her was something about why would she want to continue to look like she was smoking, and then you went on a 10 paragraph post about how she could get the most out of a 901 or a screwdriver????

I did not get throat hit from my first e-cig, so I returned it and got a different one. Now I gots me some throat hit! Whether someone gets turned off, for any reason, really should be none of your concern. Nor should it be any of your concern why one would want an e-cig that looks like an analog. Which I addressed on that thread.

I will agree you do have to read between the lines to comprehend your advice. Some may have thought your advice related to throat hit on a regular basis instead of just occassionally when you can get the technique right. I'm glad you agree with me about the battery and throat hit - that wasn't clear to me from your previous post. But the manual switch is as important as the battery because there is no cut-off on the inhale and you can heat the vapor more. I hope you try a PV with a bigger battery and a manual switch. I think you will really like it.

You obviously miss one of the more important points of this forum and that is for more experienced members to give new members good advice. And yes I am concerned when someone gives up on vaping out of frustration. I have this learned value to want to help others and get them away from a harmful habit. I also know that the more people who switch to PV's the stronger will be our base for keeping them from getting banned. I also know we need to change the perception that using PV's is just like using analogs if we hope to get at least some of the anti smoking groups to support this alternative. So no, we don't want it to look just like smoking.

So, yes, common sense and Christian values tells me to help others find the BEST PV alternative so they will switch to this alternative and stay with it.

I have thought about the throat hit, and it really isn't an issue for me unless I've not had a VAPE in a while. It just feels better to get a throat hit.

When I was sick a little while ago - I couldn't vape, and could smoke an analog ONLY if I very slowly inhaled the smoke.. Perhaps the reverse would be true as well, faster inhale would produce a better throat hit ? ?

And you are a "more experienced member" based on what?

And yes I am concerned when someone gives up on vaping out of frustration.

I believe what I said was, "if they say they are about to give up..."
Yep, just looked. Thats what I said.

So no, we don't want it to look just like smoking.

Please only speak for yourself, some do want an analog looking PV, for whatever reason.

So, yes, common sense and Christian values

Please, what do christian values have to do with anything? It has been my experience that often times, common sense and christian values dont go together. But thats another thread. Anyway, feel free to re-read my post and if you pay attention, you will see my simple point about folks who like to use an e-cig that doesnt stand out like a pink elephant. k?

[wv2win]

Pete, you have some definite attitude issues.

I think it was obvious I WAS speaking for myself. I believe my explanation was quite clear that:

1. I like to help others
2. This is due to my Christian upbringing and belief
3. I am more experienced than some and not as much as others
4. I want the use of PV's to not be banned
5. Perception is 9/10's of reality unfortunately so apperance matters.
6. The more people who "successfully" use PV's and stick with it helps us all

We will just have to agree to disagree.

I find the slower I draw the better the throat hit. I draw just strong enough to keep the LED lit into my mouth, then inhale. I believe the slow draw concentrates the vapor because there's less air to dilute the vapor. Whatever the reason it hits very satisfyingly.

I use both medium and ultra liquid (e-SmokeyTreats chocolate medium and hilton ultra), and get a very similar throat hit from both strengths.

I do find it drains the carts pretty quickly. I'm frequently topping up, usually with a drop or two directly on the atomizer.

I use a 901 and have had the same experience. I draw long and slow and usually also use dedmonwakin's technique of amassing vapor before drawing it down to my lungs. I do find some variety based on the liquid flavor, especially with things like mint that you really notice when the vapor builds up.

Jalapeno juice? Jalapeno Juice? I'm half Thai and all, and raised on heat...but I don't know about putting heat from peppers to my lungs! That sounds really harsh!lol

LOL...yeah...Jalepeno juice...it works big time...and you get big time lung punch. Try it out...it is not as bad as you might think. I put a 2-4 drops for every 10ml....try putting 1 drop/10ml. The nice thing about doing this is you can bring your nicotine level down to zero and still get TH.

I may try it. Before I do, I want to make sure what jalapeno juice your talking of. The kind that comes from the jar(vinegar based) or fresh crushed up and squeezed jalapeno?

I'd like to try this too. Does it taste like jalapenos? That could be good...

Same boat for me, though holding the vapor in my mouth didn't seem to make a difference. Slow draw is all it takes to get thick vapor. I'm sure the mods and manual switches can do the same thing (make for nice thick vapor) but if I can do it with something that doesn't get everyone in the bar looking at me thinking I'm hitting a crack pipe all the better.

I want to hear more about getting TH with no nic.

Okay the way I have done it in the past is by using the pickled vinegar based Jalapeno juice. Now I use a different pepper juice. A friend of mine brought these uber hot peppers from Portugal and he pickled them in scotch for 2-3 weeks (add a tiny bit og olive oil)...he gave me this concoction to put on food...but I have mostly used it for Vaping.lol But it is very good on food as well....very spicy. I also like to use it with shooting Vodka. You put a couple of drops in the vodka before shooting it...and man
that is the bomb....all my friends like it as well. It just cuts the harshness of the vodka and the vodka cuts the spiceness of the peppers....really good.

Now use precuation and start off by using small amounts of Jalapeno juice and see if you like it before going crazy.

So as I have posted before, I am a throat hit freak, If I don't get it, I will go thru 20 atomizers to see what is wrong I am no expert at any of this stuff, cept what works for me, I have more mods all 901's with enough power to light up Manhatten and still I get a great hit and then I dont
All 36mg's. when I first drip, into an SD or a mod or any of them
I get my TH, after a bit, it fades off, then I drip and then it is great, then it fades off, so my conclusion is how much juice is dampening the atomizer, with or without a cart, I hit w/o a cart a lot for that TH

Bottom line I still have no clue what makes for a great TH or not
But I will buy ever MOd on earth til I find it

I have to be honest. Maybe it's because I'm using menthol crystals, or maybe I just don't know what throat hit is. I feel absolutely no difference when I use 36mg juice or 7mg juice.

That's just me though. From Monday to Wed, I've been using 36mg juice in a 5ml container with 3-4 drops straight glycerin. Yesterday and today, I've dropped from 36 to 19.7 mg to 7mg.

Only thing that feels different for me is, the absence of jitteriness and now able to sleep. Again, it might just be me.

Hello All,

For those who are having mild to no throat hits.

Realizing that most all of us have various smoking techniques no matter being an E-cig or Analog smoker. I often wondered why some people had various experiences with the the same model from the same company, concerning throat hits.

Even myself, my experiences with my 901's are far more mild pertaining to throat hits, compared to my RN4081's and M401's. Sure there may be factors in regards to atomizers and battery functionality. But if your producing moderate to thick vapor and still getting unimpressive throat hits....it may most likely be how your smoking.

As said, my 901's produce rich thick vapor with 3 drops uncut glycerin to 5ml commercial liquid....yet throat hits were mild to unnoticeable. I blame this on the unique design of the cart, not the atomizer or battery. The cart it self, forces me to take long continuous drags to get a considerable amount of vapor, so by the time I'm done, "sucking" I'm ready to inhale.

During a conversation with the wife, she asked me a question that made me pause and think for a a second or two while having a mouth full of vapor. I then completely inhaled it and nearly choked. It had the same throat hit as my super mini's, maybe a little better.

I tried it again purposely, getting a mouth full of vape as if I were going to attempt smoke rings letting some roll from my mouth, while mentally counting 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, inhale and again...gooooood throat hit.

Basically, it's not always the device or liquid your using...it's how you take a drag. Those who have good throat hits, may have naturally done this on analogs already, therefore having a different experience than those like myself.


So for those who want to try this if you don't already have this style of smoking, I recommend you try it. It will take a bit to get accustomed to...but so has been smoking an electronic cigarette!

I went from 35 years a pack a day to 16 days of 10 aday with my ecigs, and with you're throat hit technique, I HAVE NO MORE ANALOGS AS OF TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU

 

[mjones]

I got my first e cig today (901) Ive figured out if you take big puffs in 3 sec burst with 1 sec pause you can avoid the cutoff and vape till your ready to give up lol. TH is avg but Im more of a "lung punch" person I guess stupid Greatful Dead conerts lol.

Interesting since I have been vaping (36mg ONLY) I have never slept better, as a smoker w/ COPD I guess that was not good for my sleep patterns, but now I vape and fall asleep w/ an ecig in hand, every night
