Throat hit

[mikeyTCPA17]

I'm new to vaping.

I recently bought an eGo C Twist. Prior to this Ive used Blu and V2, which use cartridges. This is the first time ive used e liquid. I bought some at a local vape shop. I bought 24mg and noticed that the throat hit is VERY harsh. I used to smoke 2 packs of marb reds a day, and i was shocked that i would consider anything harse, but this almost felt like a cigar. Is this because i am using a better battery (the ego) or is it bc the e liquid just packs a bigger punch? One more question for you more experienced, i understand about mouth/throat inhale, but after drawing into the mouth do u guys find yourselves inhaling like a cigar or cigarette? I really enjoy the inhalation aspect of smoking, perhaps i should scale back to 12 mg?

Was the 24mg a tobacco flavor?

yes it was a tobacco flavor.

At 2PPD the 24 shouldn't be that harsh! That's where I started. I found it to be the perfect place to start. It provided enough nic to chase the jitters away and wasn't too harsh. I used a eGo vv2 with it and was able to adjust the voltage to keep it cool for a while. It also depends on the flavor too. If you are using a tobacco flavor (as asked previously) this may be the issue. These can be a little rough at any nic content. I personally found that the tobacco flavors just didn't make the cut. They weren't anything like the tobacco I was used to and tasted awful. Minty flavors seem to work better as they actually taste like they are expected to. My

I'm not even sure what a throat hit is... ? Burning of the throat during inhale? I get a burning sensation using 18mg tobacco flavor in a cheap tank setup on my (what I think is a) Joye 900mah battery (it's branded fumigo). When I use a 18mg citrus flavor (different brand e-juice) in my clearomizer I don't experience any burning.

guess im a baby!! im going to play around with the dosage and flavors... i told the guy at the store i smoked marb reds and he directed me to this specific flavor... its probably a strong blend, experimenting with the flavors and strengths should be no biggie as my budget is already shrinking drastically, i didnt realize that the flavor had such an impact on throat hit, thank u

 

[mikeyTCPA17]

yeah by throat hit i mean the burning sensation

I found the tobacco flavor ejuices to be harsher. I also found 12 ml to not be as harsh and I kinda vape like smoking a cig. I inhale into my mouth ( slowly and lightly) hold it then inhale. So kinda the same as smoking a cig but the hauls are slowly down. If this makes sense as it is hard to explain.

Nic level and PG give you the throat hit.

If it is a burning sensation you may be getting some dry hits where your coils don't have enough juice. This for me also causes a sore throat for a good while. With some flavors it can be hard to taste but, you sure feel it.

If you came from Blu's then anything will seem harsh. Those things are like 13-16mg nicotine and the weak auto battery probably cut you off before you could get a good hit.

but after drawing into the mouth do u guys find yourselves inhaling like a cigar or cigarette? I really enjoy the inhalation aspect of smoking, perhaps i should scale back to 12 mg?

They say, 24mg is about right for ex-Full Flavor smokers. (Who the hell "they" is I do not know). Vapor inhaling is different than fire sticks. The nicotine is absorbed more in the mouth than the lungs. I inhale into my lungs like I did when I smoked just for the familiar throat hit Then I slowly exhale through my nose.

Make sure you dont have it set too high or you might be dry burning the wick. Iv had this problem befor switching to a better mod. Also since you did get a better battery make sure you do your research on the ohms law and all that it really helps.

I was a marlboro red smoker as well. I felt the throat hit harsh as well in the start but i think it is different and after sometime u get used to it. I think it is good for i was quickly able to scale down to 18mg and now ordered my next to 12mg

I found 18 was too harsh on a kayfun or russian style atomizer. 12 has been nicer
