There is no best e-cig just like there is no best car or best movie. You have to find what is best for you. I happen to think
vaping an average personal vaporizer is like smoking a light or ultra-light analog cigarette. I like the sensations you describe in your post. There are several factors involved in creating good throat hit and warm vapor: nicotine content, voltage of your power supply and use of a manual button to fire off the atomizer as long as you want. There are other factors, but I think those are the main three.
I find the best device for me is my DIY Magnum vaporizer running at 6 volts of power with a manual switch and penstyle (801) atomizers. But that is me. Of course, you might define throat hit differently than me. There are commercially availalbe manual devices that provide the power - Zi Moshi, GG and Prodigy. These all operate at or above 5 volts. Some people get good throat hit from a manual e-cig that runs at the typical 3.7-4.2 volts like the 510, Screwdriver and others.
High nicotine e-liquids definitely enhance throat hit. 36mg is being phased out leaving 26 mg/ml commercially produced juices from now one. While I might like 26mg, it might choke you.
This is a quote posted by a forum member earlier this week about the Puresmoker Podigythat I think is really great. You could easily replace Prodigy with GG or Zi Moshi and it would fit her statement.She tells it like it is...

One word: amazing. My Prodigy arrived today...Four months and several hundred dollars later...this is what I've been looking for. Initially, I wanted something that had the look/feel of a "real" cigarette. Now, I simply want something that I'm not constantly charging/changing batteries/struggling with it to get good flavor/vapor. This is it!"
