What to do for the hit

[richiemd]

Hello all.
I'm new to vaping and things are going quite well.
I have a vamo with standard boge 510 carts in a boaby tank. I'm using grants vanilla custard and RY4 both 18mg.
My problem is this , the throat hit wears off throughout the day no matter how high I set the voltage or switch to wattage.
Im using vg as pg causes to much of a headache , and 24mg strength is to high and causes headaches.
Any ideas to get a good throat hit, I really want to sort this as I haven't had a cigarette for over a week and for me a 20 year smoker that's some going. But this lack of throat hit is tempting me back to wanting a roll-up !! (Haven't given in yet though)
first thing in the morning my set up is perfect.
Thankyou

Flavour Arts does something called Bite Extra http://www.flavourart.co.uk/bitextra-eliquid-62-p.asp which has a rip your throat out kind of throat hit, the PG ratio is 60/40 I believe... I tried it, had to bin it or give it away, I hated the TH because it was painful.

But I suppose if thats what you want it wont be too bad.


You will struggle getting a TH from VG as the PG is what does it mostly.... Try inhaling a mouth full of vapour before inhaling into your lungs? if that doesnt work, try direct inhale straight to your lungs... I cant do direct inhales because it hurts my throat

VG and Cartomizers aren't a good combination unless the VG is thinned. I'd suggest a tank or clearomizer too - maybe a Kanger T3 or Vivi Nova though for the best result both in flavour and throat hit something like an IGO-L - you can adjust the throat hit on htat quite effectively. Alternatively have you tried cranking the wattage up on your Vamo?

After chatting with @brian123456 the other day if you add a little vodka to your mix can boost throat hit a lot i think he said 5% max but i suppose it depends on your juice type

You can add what you want - it depends how much throat you want left - this would also thin the VG - so a good idea AndyM

I'm in a bit of a dilemma
As I've said it's been a couple of weeks since the last cigarette which is great and the vaping is working a treat , the 18mg is keeping any craving at bay and I seam to need 18mg for the TH ,
however I'm starting to get a tight chest and the only solution I can see on other forums is cut down the nicotine , but there's a big danger the cravings will come back and vaping won't be enough and not half the TH
any ideas I really don't want to fail and go back to the cigs.

The tight chest could be a slight allergy to either VG or PG. VG is known to have side effects and whilst pretty benign on its own can cause mucus generation. It may be worthwhile experimenting with a small amount of PG only and VG only eliquid to see if either of these is causing the tightness.

I would not say its the nic level giving you the tight chest, but more your lungs and airways clearing the crap out after years of smoking. I had this on and off for about 3 months but its gone now but my breathing and chest got worse before they got better. What juice are you using?

I tried some chilli the other day - talk about throat hit! Might be a bit much, though
