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!

thanks again for the advice and encouragement, it really does help hearing about everyone's own experiences! I cant use the patches as i am allergic to the adhesive but i am getting more to grips with the Ego and using it more than i was at the start. I am better at sucking now and getting more used to it. Still having rollies but nowhere near as many. I do find the Ego isn't consistent - sometimes it feels just right, proper hit at the back of the throat, but sometimes it seems to hardly give me anything though it may be me rather than the Ego.

great thanks pixi! I am enjoying it but still wanting the roll-ups though I am having less than a quarter of them than usual. I am going to listen to all the advice on here and try not to rush into cutting them out completely. I am now on 24mg marlborough which seems better strength wise.

Hello & welcome irishcas Cas, it does sound like you aren't using your e-cig enough. To begin with especially, you will most likely need to vape on it for longer than the time you would smoke a real cig, to get enough nicotine to satisfy you. Ah ok, maybe that is why i have still wanted a proper cig, i tend to have a few pulls then put it down again. I haven't been using it all in one go for anywhere near as long as it would take me to smoke a rolly (even though i am known as the fastest smoker in West Yorkshire)

I am torn between ordering loads more stuff (i have been reading loads of the threads in here and want everything i have seen recommended to anyone, especially those lovely multicoloured clearos ) and holding fire a bit until i am sure i wont be wasting my money. I think i need to use the 24mg stuff that came with it, i find i am needing to do 2 or 3 pulls on the e-cig to feel i am getting anything though its still producing plenty of vapour. I am also a bit surprised that the liquid i put in is lasting so long, i have used well under half of the 1.6ml i put in yesterday lunchtime, i think maybe I am not using it enough? I have had 5 roll ups since i started with the vaping and have wanted more!

Glad you got going Cas, I wore a groove in the carpet today with pacing up and down . My taste buds are pretty much shot so I can't taste a lot but they are slowly improving (I think) What flavours of juice do you use then hgvroy? I am going to fill my other one with a fruit flavour tomorrow and see if i can tell the difference between that and today's which is a flue cured one.

aw i am glad you joined, irishcas! Well the first few hours have been strange, i sort of feel i dont know when i should be having a go with it, how many puffs, when to put it down etc etc. i dont smoke in the house normally, only at the back door and i have found myself heading for the back door a few times so i had a go with my new baby but it sort of feels odd and forced at the moment. I am sure i will settle into it, its still so new and doesn't feel at all "natural" yet. I should perhaps say i am unable to work due to several physical health problems so am at home a lot of the time. I cant really taste anything though i do feel the throat hit. My sense of taste and smell have been pretty poor for years, maybe this will change if i can stay off the tar filled terrors!

Thanks for the help here, much appreciated.
I am starting with 18mg. I am a heavy roll-up smoker. It certainly feels like a strong cig so far.
