One of my small pleasures after a hard week is (was) a nice tastybeer and a cig or two. Change that to a beer and a vape. What juice could someone recommend me that will give me a throat hit, I think is the term, and let me enjoy the taste of a nice IPA as well? I really enjoy the nicotine buzz to compliment the beer. It seems the majority of juice is flavored , any beer lovers out there? Thanks much.

I've actually done a bit of work on beer pairings. Although I haven't been doing this long enough to recommend specific juices in general you want higher PG juices with higher nic levels to get a good throat hit.

So far I would pair west coast IPA (citrusy) with fruitier, sweet flavors to complement the cirtus and offset the bitterness. For instance Jai Alai IPA goes great with an orange or mango flavored juice.

East coast IPA (piney) like Dogfish Head go well with less sweet, desert type juices. The custards, cheesecakes, and the like tend to keep your tastebuds alive and not fatigued as they tend to get when drinking IPA's

Personally for me though I haven't touched an IPA in a while, winter is the season for stouts, porters, and spiced ale's. I'm still working on pairing for those but so far, mild, sweet tobacco flavors work well which makes since since I used to pair them with a cigar. In general I'll just say more savory flavors work with those beers.

Anyway, I'll be enjoying more research over the winter and spring. Maybe I'll come out with a better pairing report then.

IMO...If the drank is involved and we are talking IPA I kinda dig on tobacco flavors mixed with ALOT of cinnamon and higher nic than usual for a good throat hit, PG helps as well but I have been on drippers for too long and mix my own stuff so I don't even have any PG lol, if you use to like menthol than japanese peppermint (natural menthol) when added to your juice is a MASSIVE throat hit and it feels like someone stuck a pressure washer in your ear and pulled the trigger lol, but this also depends on how much peppermint you add

Unflavored at whatever mix and nic hit you like works for any alcohol IMO. I tend to ramp up the nic levels though when imbibing.

Nothing but neutral vape works for me when I'm trying to enjoy the flavor of my beverage of choice. If I'm sipping some small batch bourbon or a tasty beer I like to enjoy that flavor..I'm not looking to complement it...just to not interfere with it.

JMO..your mileage (and taste) may vary!

Hi and thanks, tell me, what's a neutral vape?

I've ordered some volcano tobacco pure 18mg. And halo torque 56, would these qualify as PG?

I am not for sure you would have to look at the VG/PG ratio's to be certain...but I believe that halo is a higher VG than most but I may be wrong. You can just order PG yourself and add as desired, although that will water down the flavor slightly
