Tip 1
Use bases with double-distilled water, which liquefies the mixtures and makes them less sweet. The water lowers the vaporisation temperature, which has a detrimental effect on the incrustations. The best MTL base (cheek shot) in our opinion is a 50PG 40VG 10H2O, or with alternative values, but always in the presence of water. For the cloud/flavour, any base is fine, and even in this case a minimum of water will not spoil it. If you decide to vaporise in the cloud/flavour, you should know that as the percentage of glycerine (VG) of the base increases, which tends to "fog" the flavours, it is advisable to proportionally increase the percentage of tobacco dilution as well: So if a Latakia would be diluted to 5% on a 50PG 40VG 10H2O base to get an equivalent flavour, on a flavour/cloud base like an 80VG/20PG, we should flavour it to 10%. But why, you may ask, can tobacco also be vaporised in the cloud? Certainly they are so fancied by many people, and they are exceptional, some will suit more, others less: latakia, pipe blends, oriental and bezuki for example are exceptional in flavour/cloud in our opinion[/col] [col].
Tip 2
Understand that you have a concentrated product in your hands that is four times the market average, not all products have 10% and so on. It is therefore important to follow the flavoring tables for each extract in order to use each tobacco extract or tobacco blend in the correct way. The specific dilution tables for each of our products can be found in the "Dilution" section below.
Tip 3
It is important to know that a product of plant origin, such as an extract or macerate, is composed of molecules that evaporate and leave residues on the coil, commonly known as "incrustations". The question of incrustations is therefore not related to filtration (we filter up to and above 0.45 micron by stopping bacteria), but to the concentration of a product. A macerate that has a solid-liquid ratio of 1:5 will have a much lower concentration than one of our extracts that has a solid-liquid ratio of 1:1 (i.e. we use 10 grams of unprocessed tobacco to obtain 10 ml of our concentrated extract instead of 2 grams in 10 ml, as is common in the production of a macerate). When a macerate is diluted to 10%, an extract already diluted to 5% guarantees a taste at least equivalent, if not superior, to a 10% macerate, unless that macerate contains additives and other concentrated flavors, such as natural, nature-identical or artificial flavors that enhance the taste. Depending on the solid-liquid ratio and thus the concentration of a product, the higher the dilution, the more often regeneration is normal. Our products are four times more concentrated than the market average, so it is easy to guess that for the same dilution with a macerate, one of our extracts has a higher concentration of aromatic molecules, it is more charged and therefore possibly leaves more residue on the coil. It is therefore easy to guess what savings you will have if you know that 10% corresponds to the aromatisation you are used to with a macerate in an extract like Latakia 3%. PRESS, TRY THE LOW DILUTIONS, ESPECIALLY IF WE SAY IT IS AGAINST OUR INTERESTS.
Tip 4
Temperature and structure are equally important to fully enjoy an evaporation session, perhaps even during the day and when you don't have time to regenerate. In this case, we will take note of the temperature control (TC) in the circuits of some last generation boxes: We advise you not to exaggerate with the temperatures as described below. In the absence of a temperature control and vice versa, the recommendation is not to force too much with Watts. An example that could lead to staying calm all day long: Latakia diluted to 5%, on a 50PG 40VG 10H2O base, regeneration on the tank, SS316L, 26ga wire, making 7 coils spaced apart at the top of 3, pushing the maximum coil to 18 watts.
This guarantees the use of at least 15 ml on a coil. Of course, everyone will tend to use their own preferred configuration, but the most important thing is not to have too high temperatures, say up to a maximum of 230 degrees the coil life is decent.
