What causes throat hit?

He's using 6mg currently at 100% VG

Is it the nicotine or PG, or both, that causes the throat hit? I used to only want big clouds but want lesser clouds now I'm vaping out and about.
I'm using 6mg now and not sure what VG/PG mix my juice is - would a 70/30VG mix with 6mg nicotine give a decent throat hit? Don't want too much though, only when I take a full draw.
Any recommendations?

Both nic and PG causes throat hit. Some flavors also cause a TH.

I only want a light throat hit, I've been using 100VG with 0mg until recently but needed a bit of nic. I might go 100VG with 6mg and see how that it.

do darker liquids give more hit than lighter ones?

Here is where he says ZERO.

Hi again Cal
Just thought I'd point out the difference in Max VG vs 100% VG. Most of the food flavor concentrates are normally available in a PG base so Max VG means we haven't added any more PG but do have some vis a vis the flavoring added. 100% VG is something that you have to try hard to get. It's easy if you aren't adding any flavor but if you want flavor it is hard to find it with a VG base but not impossible, at least for some flavors. Nic can come with either base and even a combo of VG & PG in the mix % you ask for.

Thanks for that.

What's the difference between the tickly throat hit that can make you cough and the smooth throat hit? Is one PG and one nic? Or is it just me that gets that

I've vaping some 3mg 'max vg' stuff and I'm getting a bit of the tickly throat hit - could that be the flavouring then?
