Will a twist give more throat hit?

[Bc1010]

I've been vaping for about 2 mos. and for the most part I'm enjoying it. I'm down to only 1 cig. every couple days so thats good but I feel like I need some thing more but I'm not sure what. I think maybe its more of a throat hit I want, maybe more flavor too.
So I figure my choices are to increase my nic (i'm now at 24mgs) or decrease my veg (using 70/30). I'd rather not have to do either if I don't have to so I wondered if getting a twist (using a kgo now) and turn up the amps or volts or ohms or whatever it is, would give a better throat hit?

Hi and congrats on the choice to switch! Maybe you should try a low resistance cartomizer!

 

[elmattias]

to be honest you should be getting lots of TH off of the KGO with that kind of juice...however, you may get more with the twist simply because of the warmth of the vapor, but it also depends on what kind of carto/clearo/tank/atty you're using to deliver the juice, as i find a carto gives a bit more TH....another thing to consider is the flavor of the juice, as some flavors have near nonexistent TH where others have more than enough....the only other thing i could think that would add more TH to whatever you are using is to drop a few mentol drops in there

oh and i don't know if it's just me but TH in terms of devices, for me, is dual coil carto/tank>cartomizer>clearomizer/clearotank>atty

i'm not sure if it's just the impurities or what, but it's just how i find it to be when i taste juices, i usually roll with a DCT to make sure i'm getting the right amount while i'm out at work

For a great throat hit and flavor, I would recommend a bridgeless low-resistance 901 atty with an Empire drip shield. Uping your nicotine strength can have a favorable impact on throat hit as well, but I wouldn't consider doing that unless you are finding yourself wanting to vape more frequently or needfully than you would prefer.

Variable voltage will give you a better vape than constant voltage the majority of the time. I see no good reason for anyone to go without it.

I think you should get two 650mah Twists without delay. Your kGo charger will work with them.

I'd also get a couple of Vivi Nova 3.5ml Version 2.5 tank/atomizers.

I forgot to mention I'm using a V2 Vision SR clearo. Would a LR clearo give more of a throat hit?

I use the vivi nova with the 1.8 ohm head on my kgo and the 2.4 ohm head on the ego twist and am very happy with both. I tend to add a drop or two of menthol to my juices as it helps with the TH. I was never a menthol smoker but it works for me at this point.

Volts times volts divided by resistance of the coil (in ohms) = watts (heat). More heat might give more throat hit, or it might just burn the crap out of the juice.

If the SR is around 2.3 ohms:

3.7v x 3.7v / 2.3 = 5.9 watts

If the LR is around 1.8 ohms:

3.7 x 3.7 / 1.8 = 7.6 watts

If you get a Twist, which can put out between 3.2 to 4.8 volts, you could achieve a wide range of wattages on a wide range of resistances, and get a better overall vape. Constant voltage is a little like the broken clock that shows the right time twice a day.

*****

Consider the three heads in the Vivi Nova; 1.8, 2.4, and 2.8 ohms:

With a Joyetech eGo-C Twist, or any other variable voltage device, you can achieve any wattage you need to get a good vape, even if the "actual" resistance of the "heads" varies from the "nominal" resistance of the heads, which it almost always does.

I'd say that most people vape at between 4 and 8 watts per coil. Let's see how 6 watts can be produced with a Joyetech eGo-C Twist (or any other variable voltage device) with any of those three atomizer heads.

3.28 volts x 3.28 volts / 1.8 ohms = 6 watts

3.79 volts x 3.79 volts / 2.4 ohms = 6 watts

4.09 volts x 4.09 volts / 2.8 ohms = 6 watts

A constant voltage device obviously cannot do this, so please do not buy one under any circumstances.

*****

Another example -

With your existing kGo battery:

3.7 x 3.7 / 2 ohms = 6.845 watts on a SINGLE coil (please use single coils only). Plenty of warmth for most people/juices. But again, NOT adjustable except by using an attachment (atomizer, cartomizer) of a different resistance.

PG gives you better throat hit while VG gives you better vapor. Also raising your nic level will also accomplish it. I use an Ikenvape Fusion in a tank with 24mg. 100% pg on a Buzz Pro and I have to turn it down in the AM because it's too much throat hit. You should try to keep your vaping wattage around 8 watts for a good vape.

Congratulations on your success so far! With no more info than you've given I'd be reluctant to recommend upgrading/side-grading from your KGO, at least for increasing TH & flavor. I would suggest trying different flavored juices, and if you don't mind giving up a slight amount of vapor try using a PG/VG mix of 80/20. Also I don't know what kind of juice feed system you're using but my experience has been very different from that of a previous poster here; for me, cartomizers mute both flavor & TH. For getting the essence of how a juice is supposed to taste, my first choice at this point are IkenVape dripping atomizers. For the KGO I would suggest resistances of 1.5, 1.8 & maybe 2.5 Ohm attys. Also they are available in different styles, each with its particular advantages. For simply tasting flavors - such as before filling a cartomizer with one you haven't tried - I prefer the io6 Series. They don't hold much juice but don't need to for this purpose. My all-round favorite though is the Cannon - hold a lot of juice for an atomizer & vapes like a monster. The IkenVape Site is here: IkenVape These things only have one drawback: they don't hold much juice, so must be refilled a few drops at a time. Oh, and the two types I mentioned are both hybrids & require unique drip tips so if you try them I'd order at least one tip for each type. (The Cannon comes with a whistle tip... functional for vaping, but must be removed for dripping.) For some folks, even the superior flavor isn't worth the hassle... especially when driving or working, etc., where dripping is not a viable option.

Those people probably need a rebuildable atty/tank combination (as I do), but if they can't afford one (as I can't) they might get good results with the Vivi Nova version 2 (or 2.5) tank system. I've been using those & like them very well. I would suggest getting them from either GotVapes or Hoosierecig to be sure you're getting the latest version (v. 2.5 is a customized v. 2 specifically for GotVapes, AFAIK).

Hope this helps!

Being able to tweak your vape a little here and there and being more flexible and versatile in with what and how you vape each juice, by changing voltage/wattage, by adding a little extra or different flavour(menthol, vanilla, grape etc.), using a higher or lower resistance head, or by changing what you vape with(atty for dripping/carto, clearo, tank)
and lastly being able to add a little extra nic.

Each seemingly small change you might make can have a large impact on the pleasure and satisfaction you receive from vaping. Stay as open and flexible as you can. It doesn't necessarily have to cost a lot, but will cost some.

I never really liked dripping until I just recently dropped 8 bucks on a new Ikenvape atty.
What a change in experience that was!!! Finding the "right" equipment
is just as important as finding a suitable juice and nic level.(maybe even more so. imo.)

Every poster may help you along but only you will be able to answer the "what is missing"
question for yourself. You'll know it when you find it, and you'll find it again and again if you keep at it.

Enjoy the journey, sit back, relax, and vape your way forward.

It's late.lol.

Yes. LR ends up working out very good with a Kgo battery and it will increase your throat hit.

Lots of great information here.
Thanks so much everyone!!!
