throat hit too strong with 18mg but need it for the cravings

[vape_freak]

Hi All!

I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
I currently vape on my mini oddisey/quest aspire kit and vaping 6mg 70/30 VG/PG
Before I got the kit I was vaping 18mg same VG/PG on the CS air tank (Tecc Curve 2 mini kit) but on triton mini, the throat hit is just too harsh, so I got the CS air tank again and have 12mg liquid there just for the cravings but it's still too strong (I am using the cs air on pegasus mini) Do you guys have any suggestions?
How was I vaping 18mg before but now the 12mg is too strong in the same tank? Could it be the mod? Even though I am vaping at the same 10W as before. (btw it's the same liquid and flavour only lower nicotine)

Thanks a lot for any help!

Try a somewhat lower wattage, and see if that makes a difference. In my case, I've found that a high 6 (6.7 or 6.8) in the morning, and a high 8 or low 9 in the evening to be to my liking.

yes it could be the mod.

1. lower pg more as pg adds to throat hit try 80/20
2. change out cotton/coils more often or clean the coils more often as they get gunked up the throat hit becomes more harsh due to all that burnt junk on the coils
3. lower nic but vape more.

I vape at 2mg because 3mg seems more harsh even if it's 100 vg

yeah, will try higher VG, I will also try putting my tank on a different mod to see if there will be any difference, thanks or all the replies.

Some mods will not actually step down the battery voltage even though it looks like they will.
Seems like the Istick 20w was that way. Others too.

Two totally different devices, the triton mini heads have bigger wicking holes, more airflow with the purpose of vaping 1.2 ohm coil from 15 - 20W but your peg mod is more than likely putting out 16W when reading 11W and producing more vapor / nicotine than your use to

I agree with others. I've noticed that different devices put out vapor that just 'feels' different even at the same wattage. I don't know all the ins and outs of the chips and the algorithms they use, so I figure I'll just adjust things until they feel right for me.

I haven't seen snus talked about much on here lately, but have you looked into using it some to attack cravings? Not sure what the general consensus on snus is these days, but I use it sometimes when I can't (or don't feel comfortable) vaping.

yeah, I'm actually thinking of geting an istick again

Could consider 5w/2 ohm/32 A1 70VG MTL is a very cool vape and easy on throat. Some brands of nic are smoother on the throat.
Istick and RDA here.

I've been noticing something....this is based on myself and friends I know who have cut back on nic, and also a hilarious thread on here where a guy was giving his girlfriend zero nic for months, and she didn't even know. Honestly, I think a lot of the nic fix stuff is mental. Sure, nicotine is an addictive substance, and it can cause cravings, but I really do believe it's more in one's head.

When I cut down from 12 to 6, I didn't even notice. When I try a 3mg every now again, I never have a craving anymore. I think most of what makes cigs addictive is the other 100 chemicals in them, and the nic is just what we give all the credit to. I've also read those new studies recently that showed how powerful the placebo effect is (short version- way more powerful than we previous thought.) So there is probably some of that at work here.

I say just focus on your juice flavors, pg/vg ratio, and hardware to find a satisfying experience that gives you the sensation that you're after, and don't sweat the nic level as much. Just my two cents. Best of luck!
