Update...

[Defiantgroundhog]

So I got my kit yesterday .... as many of you know. Hee hee.. cause I was posting like every ten min. or something

Still smilin!!!
I've ended up loving the Hilton ... didn't see that one coming I don't know if it's because it's the only med. I have or what.
The other flavors are good just really hard on my throat but they also are high nicotine. I'm guessing this is why they hurt. I need the higher nicotine to keep the cravings at bay but I also would like to puff without pain. I read that the VG is smoother but I really need to be able to refill due to budget. I guess what I'm getting at is ... What's a good smooth flavor at a high nic. level? I don't like menthol, other then that I'm pretty open. I'd prefer it not to be a tobacco flav. but..... whatever.

I'm getting frustrated with the battery situation. I've got more coming though and that should fix the issue. The thing is I really want to use the shorties they just die too quickly for me... like I said though that will be fixed.

I am the queen of carto. filling and I just want you all to know that. I rock!!!!! Have rinsed and I have topped off and I have spun. Of course not all at the same time and not in that order but I have done it all!!!

Already feeling better. Thank you all so much for the welcome and friendly company. I'm so glad I'm vaping and relieved that it's worked out so well. My husband has even grabbed my VK to puff on. If you knew him you would know that's a big freaking deal...

Try some flavor cartos, they may help ease the throat hit a bit. What mg are you vaping now?

 

[Defiantgroundhog]

Let's see...I got 11mg samples which taste awesome but like smoking air. I don't know what the mg. are on the high ones... they're just "high"

I've realized that I don't really need a throat hit. Cause I don't get one at all really with the low nic... but I still love puffing on them... just wish I could get some nic. too

I'm looking at getting the high nic. green tea VG carts... but I need a smooth juice also... hmmmm... I guess I'll just browse the site some more.

I add a few drops of VG that I purchased at CVS to smooth my juices a bit. Unless you have a sensitivity your throat will adjust but it does take a bit of time, vaping is a whole different experience than smoking. Better if you ask me!

 

[pianoguy]

We got some Cowboy VG cartos today (18's), and they are very mild. You could try adding a few drops of plain VG to your high-mg cartos which would mellow them out a bit.

Glad to hear you've got the hang of refilling down already!

 

[scuzzy19]

I know Menthol flavor isnt your thing but Cool have the lowest throat hit that I've experienced and still being at 18mg of nic.

Defiant, go to the drug store or walmart and get some glycerin USP. It's the same as V.G. but a bit thicker. It will smooth your high nic down and add extra vapor. Are the high nic's liquid or carts? If they are liquid, you can always get a much lower nic in the same flavor and mix them. No loss of flavor but it will lower the nic for you.
I am laughing about the lack of order in refilling your carts..that really made me smile. Glad your sense of humor is so good!

Congrats!!!
When I first started, I liked to have a higher nic cart (24) in place for the cravings...and a couple others at lower strengths for flavor and throat hit. I usually had 3 or 4 batteries in front of me and switched between them. Crazy, I know...but, it kept me from reaching for the analogs.
Now that I'm a wise old vaper (LOL) I still like a couple flavors loaded and ready to go.
You will find your sweet spot and make it work just right for you!

 

[Defiantgroundhog]

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I had read somewhere about the glycerin USP but a little leery of it for some reason. The high nics. are liquid but like I said I don't want to lower the nic. I just want it to not burn my throat Hopefully like Taryn said I might adjust to it. I had also thought about giving the menthol a go because a few people have said that they didn't like it in cigs. but vaping it was good.
MaryKay more vapor is always a good thing so I might be brave and get some glycerin USB tomorrow for kicks

indeed I hated menthol cigs tasted horrid to me but the Cool was amazingly awesome. I ordered some Smiling Menthol today im anxious to try it everyone loves this stuff and will kill for it. I highly recommend the cool I got a freebie in 18 on my last order and I had to order more it rocks!

I'm no expert because most of my carts are 18mg but I find that vanilla is a very smooth vape. Maybe trying that in 36mg would be ok for what your looking for.
Also, I was sent Virginia carts in 36mg and they didn't bother my throat at all...though everyone is different.

 

[newb]

I had a similar problem..

Parlament 18 gives you the nicotine with mild TH if not nothing at all depending how you vape it..

 

[Defiantgroundhog]

Oh man CatMommy I've been wanting to get vanilla soooo bad. They don't have it

I've noticed that my tolerance is already getting lower. (It's amazing how fast thats happened.) So.... I'm thinking I'll stick with the med. Hilton... very satisfying for some reason when it comes to puff puff puffing

Then since I can't seem to take too many drags on high now anyway. (Heart starts racing.) The caramel frap seems to be tolerable on the throat hit. So glad they sent that one as a freebie. Because the coffee high is mighty tasty but burns pretty bad, so I probably wouldn't have given the frap a chance.

Looking forward to those green tea high nic. vp carts!!!!! I also can't wait till they get bigger bottles of juices in stock. Works out though because I should know what to buy a bunch of by then.

p.s. I feel bad for not doing more posting on others threads but I don't really feel qualified yet

I was a menthol smoker so when I dropped the analogs and went to the e-cigg I ordered menthol as my main staple and luckily they threw in some mint as a freebee. The menthol burned my throat and I loved the mint. However within a couple weeks the menthol was fine and enjoyable. Your tastes change as you get used to your e-cigg and also as your sense of smell returns I believe. I also ordered a nic level that was too low and due to enjoying the e-cigg and overvaping and the low nic level I went through what I thought would be two weeks worth in 3 days and was suffering back on analogs while waiting for my next order. I hated buying another pack of analogs but needed my nic fix.

 

[Defiantgroundhog]

Yeah I've really been surprised how much nic. I need. In a way I'm glad I got so many high juices. I smoked a pack and a half of Marlboro Lights a day so you wouldn't think I would need so much nic. I guess I was a heavier smoker then I thought.

 

[Taryn]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that people have an individual absorption rate of nicotine. I've seen plenty of what I would consider light vapors needing 36 mgs and some heavier vapers quite happy with 18mg or less. Each person just needs to find their own sweet spot.

 

[figg]

Groundhog try the butterscotch it works for me and is delish. Taste good enough to eat the cart. Ha Ha

 

[Belletrist]

the creamier flavors are much lower throat hit... but if you really wanna know the 'smoothest', send leaford from V4L a PM and ask him his favs... 1, he's tested all of them, and 2, he prefers smooth vaping, low throat hit himself.

I had no idea! I need to send him a PM because I think leaford and I have more then I thought in common!

 

[Belletrist]

yup, i noticed it in one of his posts cause i despise no-throat-hit liquids.
