Hoonie, I was sorry to hear this, too, because my plan is to eventually get off the nicotine altogether by using the 0 nic juice, but from reading here I kind of suspected the throat hit wouldn't be good with 0 nicotine.
Haven't got my first ecig yet (maybe tomorrow I hope!), but I'm planning to try a strong peppermint flavor. Even though they say the flavoring isn't want produces the throat hit, I'm thinking maybe just the "cooling" sensation of the peppermint flavor will produce some sort of throat sensation, kinda like chewing really strong peppermint gum. Problem is, I don't smoke menthols!
Have you tried any flavors or just the tobacco 0 nic?
