Anyone else not care much for the "throat hit"?

[Robert Cromwell]

My mistake. 70 vg 30 pg

I'm with the OP - don't care about throat hit. Flavor is more important to me. Not that you can't have both, but I'm generally seeking the best tasting juice, not the best throat hit. If it's too "harsh" I start hacking and that's not enjoyable for me.

 

[AngelicTomPetty]

As long as their is above average vape/flavour production from something like a sub ohm or RDA I dont care about the throat hit.

If its an everyday set up with nautilis I do need a little throat hit.

 

[Woofer]

Not a fan either.
I use a minimum of 60% VG in my diy.
Most purchased juice has way to much flavoring for my taste. (note: flavoring, not flavor)
Actually most manufactured foods have to much flavoring added.

 

[fxRich]

More throat hit makes me want to drink more. Not good if I run out of beer. Is there a beer flavor out there?

 

[Imperialchugger]

40% VG seems to hit the spot for me. Slight throat hit.

 

[Beena]

Used to care about the TH but now I'm loving the smoothness especially since I've dropped to good quality 3mg liquids

 

[Wakefulpanda]

I used to live the TH on the kayfun with 18mg 50/50 juices. Over the past month or so I have been really enjoying drippers and my subtanks with high VG juice at 6mg. I really enjoy the smooth cool hit. I also now lung inhale rather than mouth to lung, which I did with my kayfuns.

 

[TaketheRedPill]

Not a fan of throat-hit either.

I'm generally a light throat hit vaper, but I can't deal with high VG. There's no TH and the vapor seems to coat my lungs over time. It's not a pleasant feeling.

I sometimes vape 100% PG, but that's a little heavy on TH. 80pg/20vg with the right flavor can be smooth and tasty. I'm not big on in your face flavorings, either. I tend to enjoy flavors and throat hit that resembles the ultra light cigs I smoked for years before quitting.

Kayfun 3.1 has been my favorite RBA for almost a year. I can experiment with wicking and coil resistance and air flow (coil height) to get it just about right. I'm about to switch to Kayfun 4 for more adjustability.

 

[Jimi D.]

Smooth and cool is my preference. With a flavor that fades on the tongue like food or drink.

 

[GranFumador]

Throat hit? Yes, I remember that. When I began vaping, using garbage gear–all I knew at the time—it helped me get the nicotine rush I needed. Then I gradually improved my batteries, tanks, and juices. Without thinking about it, I gradually reduced my need for and enjoyment of TH. I've also lowered nic content from 24 to 12 or 8, and expect to go lower. I enjoy good flavor, and don't care about big clouds or TH.

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Yes, do not care about having it at all here, and would rather never feel it again!

 

[slinco]

I went with 0 nic for a while but it was the absence of TH that I did'nt like.
I need a little TH, I have settled at around 5mg nic,- seems to do the trick.

I have always been a "super taster" - even when I was a heavy smoker (promises of "your sense of taste and smell will improve if you quit smoking" actually made me NOT want to quit smoking, because I already tasted and smelled more than I wanted to!)

As a result of my over-achieving sense of taste and smell, I have always been fond of foods with delicate flavors, although the occasional spicy food was welcomed. Hubby hates delicate flavors because he cannot taste them!

So it's no surprise that I prefer milder flavored ejuices - and have no desire for a throat hit. I just want a good flavor that doesn't overwhelm my senses. Maybe you're a "super taster" too? (I learned that term from a program on PBS - "super tasters" have as much as 3 times the number of taste buds as some people - they even showed how to test it using a piece of card stock, a hole punch, and some food coloring)

I must be some sort of "super taster" sub mutant, because while I can't lay claim to an amazing sense of taste, I have always had an exceptional sense of smell, but not across the board. Musk and animal based smells I can smell insanely well (great for hunting), but fruits and flowers, not so much. Fortunately, no one sells "Elk in the Woods" flavor ejuice, or I would be overwhelmed. But I dilute down the flavor of most of my ejuices with nic vg base or just straight vg.

 

[The Cloud Minder]

Oh yeah, don't much dig the throat hit, but I can't do without the nicotine, so I live with it, and have gotten used to it.

 

[Limner]

Warm, smooth, flavorful is my preference. Throat hit is more a negative for my taste profile than not.

It's an interesting one to think about. I began with things like Camel non-filter and hand-rolled Bugler. I wonder if I'm averse to throat hit because it reminds me of smoking.

 

[miro011]

I hate throat hit , I like lung , thats why I vape 80VG

 

[Ryedan]

It's surprising to me that so many people in this thread are not fond of TH. I've been vaping mostly zero nic and sometimes 1-2 mg/ml nic juices for a couple of years now. Getting used to losing TH was the hardest part of weaning myself off nicotine for me.

There is another side to this though. I typically vape at 35-40 watts so I get a good amount of 'action' with every puff and even 1-2 mg of nic has noticeable TH at that power level probably equivalent to significantly more nic at lower power. It`s even more noticeable when I've vaped zero nic for a while. I also appreciate some spicy warmth and flavor in the foods I eat.

I appreciate both sides, the heightened flavor of no-nic juice is great for a while and the TH I get from a bit of nic is also very nice sometimes.

I think we can have both sides if we want it

 

[WillyZee]

I was experiencing a pepper taste more than throat hit with most vendor juice ... fixed that by going DIY.

so yeah, I will pass on throat hit.
