Does Nic level have any effect on TH?

[windmiller]

As I order my first juices and samples I'm curious if the amount of nicotine in a juice (6, 8, 12, 18, 24mg) has any effect on throat hit. Or is it just PG ratio that effects TH.

[Shizzle]

it definitely does...the lower the nicotine, the less the throat hit...however, vaping at higher voltages can help offset it.

Nic has a direct effect on TH.

PG on its own has NO TH, ditto VG. Zero, none, nada. Be careful when you read posts where folks say things like; "PG has more TH than VG"... it is badly worded prose. PG allows more TH to come through than VG does but neither offer TH on their own accord.

I would suggest you try 18mg out of the box and adjust thereafter. Good luck and congrats on making/trying the switch.

I personally have noticed that the higher the nic level seems to give your mouth that somewhat "prickly" inside for lack of a better word, while more PG seems to give a deeper throat hit. And btw, welcome from Raleigh!!

simply yes it does

PG and Nicotine has TH...

Here's the article on TH at the E-Cig Wiki

Thanks everyone for the quick replies, very helpful! So then I assume that those that are into 100% VG arent concerned with TH, interesting. Can 50/50 produce a good TH?


Nice to see someone else from NC on here

Nicotine is TH

Heat can enhance (the heat you can get by using large 450mah+ batteries w/ LR attachments, or by using variable or high voltage)

PG is thin and lets TH and flavor through best, as well as nicotine irritation

VG is thick and dulls/smooths everything PG lets through but adds some nicer vapor

And depending on your vaping method, what you use may work best with the thinner high-PG juices which work with all vaping methods.

There has been some discussion about PG vs VG on various health related sites. After some research it appears that there really isn't anything dangerous about PG. It would seem that a blend of the two at various levels is preferred and that the percentage of that blend is a matter of personal choice. It makes me wonder if the "propaganda" against PG is another ploy to discredit the benefits of switching to vaping and the companies that supply those products. Has anyone determined if that is so? It just made me wonder.
