Higher throat hit?

[shorty]

i just read a thread where someone, ronnie i think, was asking advice as he wanted less throat hit and there was tons of advice so i thought it worth starting a new topic.

My problem is the opposite, i need a bigger throat hit. Sometimes i get a decent hit but then the very next pull i get very little. I am sure some of it must be just me getting used to it. I am doing a longish slow gentle suck

I am using an ego ce4 900ohm with the juice that came with it, 24mg Marlborough. I also tried an 18mg tobacco flavour but need to check out an older post of mine to remind me what it is, it was worse than this 24mg one.

All advice greatly appreciated, cheers!

Hi Cas, higher pg content gives stronger th also consider getting a variable voltage mod like a vamo or ego twist... More volts stronger hit

If you have a CE5 with 3 differnt heads try the 1.8 ohm one.

Just do the opposite of what we advised in ronnie11's thread - high PG, high nic, low resistance -

But mostly, try different ways of vaping - long slow into the mouth then sharp inhale is one; another is to pull some air in at the same time as the vapour by leaving a gap to each side of the drip tip as you inhale (most people have coughing fits when they first try this ). On most batteries it also helps if you do a short sharp pull before the main drag, to heat the coil up.

I'm the same Cas, I've ordered a higher PG so I'm hoping that will sort it out. I'm also using the mini nova, and even though I'm using the same level of nic, the throat hit has massively improved for me. Also going to use what the guys suggested a lower voltage head, then should have cracked it. If I don't have the throat hit I start thinking of real cigs, so it's probably important for you and me to get that

Just a quick one following that, is the trick to get a low head say 1.8 and a high votage battery on something like a twist to get a better throat hit?

[Perpetua]

The problem with that Lozzy, is that you run the real risk of popping the coil if you pump too many volts through it on a VV/VW device of any kind, or end just end up with burnt tasting eliquid.

Low/Very Low Resistance stuff, came about in the days when we didn't have the fantastic range of VV/VW that we have now, to compenstate for the limitations of ' standard ' battery voltages.

Although, there's no hard and fast, it's more about what suits you and that can take a little experimentation to find the right balance.

Can a low resistance atty fail to fire on a non VV battery? I'm using a 1.5 DCT and 1.8 nova on my ego 1000 and its not really producing any vapour at all. When I hook them onto my Lavatube they're spot on.

Also when I'm using a 2.4 head on same battery it works just fine. It's been a full 24 hours since it's last charge (the ego1000) - could that be the problem?

Yes, the the battery could be sensing that the resistance is too low and does not fire, usually the button will flash when this happens.
It's a safety feature.

Riva's batteries do not have this problem.

lower resistance coils provide a warmer vape, I would be looking more along the lines of increasing wattage or voltage of the battery rather than reducing resistance of atomiser because as Perps said LR carts are more likely to fail with vv/vw than regular carts. Get yourselves a Vamo and you will be very pleasantly suprised with the difference. There is no cigarette in the world that can produce a th like a good pv.

I've got a Lavatube Balllsy but notice sometimes when I increase the voltage on some carts, say a 2.4 CE4 or 5 that the atty just burns.

Des, that is EXACTLY what is happening.

Thanks, so just to confirm it's better having a medium resistance and higher battery voltage that you can adjust? What voltage is the riva 1000?

It starts at 4.2(ish) volts and goes down as you use it it will flash the button when the voltage gets to about 3.3 volts.

Ego's have a regulation circuit and output at a constant voltage of about 3.7 - 3.5V until near the cut off point.

I prefer the Riva because you can keep it topped up vaping at a higher voltage. Also they are better at running lower resistance atomisers.

Nice one, I've got a lower resistance clearomiser on it's way so will be good to test over the weekend. I've got a mini nova, but don't want to start mucking around changing the heads yet as I don't feel that comfortable and knowing me I'll mess it up!
