I'm having trouble getting the kind of throat hit everyone seems to be talking about on my Joy 510. I've got the manual batts and a manual switch PT. I'm using 35mg/ml e-juice (dark tobacco, blackberry, and unflavored) and the throat hit is a little elusive. It happens once in a while, but I can't get it consistently. Any suggestions?
Best technique for throat hit on 510 manual batt.

Drip 2 drops directly onto the atty,
Place a cartridge with no filler in it, on the atty,
Inhale,

Throat hit is very difficult to control, even on a 510. You will always get the best throat hit if you have:
1. A strong battery
2. Have a good performing atomizer
3. The right juice
4. A very moist cart or dripping direct
After you hit four or five drags in a row the hit will get weaker. If you put it down for 10 to 15 minutes try it again and it should have returned. PG will give a better throat hit, VG will give the most vapor. And finally, the best solution is going to be experience over time. You will learn these things with more personal use. A lot of people have various different techniques. You will develop one of your own.

I am a new 510 user and have the 36mg tobacco juice from TW. it gives such a strong TH that if I close my eyes I would swear it is a Camel non filter. I have found that releasing the manual button and then depressing it again while inhaling still gives a good TH and a lot of vapor and it may even make my atty live a little longer.
I also have one loaded with 18mg tobacco. I use it for the mental side of my addiction. I just hold it a lot and can get some vapor if I want, but it has a very weak TH compared to the strong stuff. just holding it seems to do a lot to reduce my mental urges and the 36mg will eliminate any nic urge that comes up.
I haven't bought any analogs in a while now and although I live with smokers I am finding that vaping has now made analogs taste terrible.
now if I can just find a way to infuse nic with some of the tastes from our herb garden life would be grand!

I use to have probs with a flooded atty all the time but switched ADM and foam and always get a good hit. ADM rocks and is easy to do.
What is this Throat Hit y'all keep talking about???
Forgive my ignorance, since I'm a FRENCH INHALER (I'm trying to get the nicotine to my brain ASAP... why waste time going through the lungs???)

You draw the smoke into your mouth,
Then you take a breath in,
Then you get throat hit. Its the sensation of the smoke going from your mouth into your lungs,
Hope this helps,

Your ignorance is forgiven. A basic anatomy lesson: Inhale through your mouth and breathe straight into your lungs = immediate nicotine absorption into your blood stream (via the lungs).
If you French inhale and only hold the vapor in your mouth without letting it go into your lungs first, then blow it out and inhale back through your nose, well then you're just wasting time. In case you didn't know, your nose is not connected to your brain, it just goes back down your throat and into your lungs...that's a fancy explanation for...tada!...breathing through your nose!
A French inhale is just a cool trick to watch someone do. It actually delays the nicotine absorption.
I can't believe nobody noted this, but if you want a strong throat hit, do a direct inhale. Don't puff the vapor into your mouth first and then inhale, just inhale it directly (like breathing normally - you don't suck air into your mouth and then inhale it, you inhale it directly; do the same with the vapor).
Don't take a monster hit, because the vapor is really pretty harsh this way. I added some glycerine to my Raspberry Frapaccino 24mg juice (about 1ml glycerine to 3ml juice) and not only am I getting crazy vapor now, but I still get a devilish throat hit if I do a direct inhale.

The one thing I havent seen anyone say is to hold down your button about 2 seconds before you start to inhale.
I learned this a long time ago to get a good hit you have to get a running start.
Try it, it works.
Strong battery.. whether you drip or use carts or both.
hold your buttoin down for a second or 2 before inhaling.
You'll get a better hit every time..
And if that doesnt work, buy a 5V mod like the
glv / detionator or prodigy if you use 510 attys:
greatlakesvapor.com
puresmoker.com
or PM Robert for the Detonator
Get a Chuck if you use 801s and want 6v..

Couldn't agree more. If you start sucking away at the same time you push the button, the atomizer doesn't heat up nearly as much, and therefore you get less vapor. Also, if you're sucking too hard and not getting the atomizer hot enough, you'll probably end up flooding the atty.

One thing that I recently started doing is adding a bit of vodka to my juice. In a 5ml mix I put about .5ml of vodka. It really kicks it up a notch.
You really got to smoke it like your smoking weed sort of. Not that I smoke weed. Start off like you are taking a analog drag but then continue to inhale until you cant anymore. Then blow out. The trick is to keep inhaling when it feel's like you can't anymore. You will get a massive throat hit from it.
French inhale actually does work well, at least to me. Mucus membrane absorption, and all that. Makes the nose tingle, but can remove the throat hit effect somewhat.
A lung hit (pulling from the lungs, not the mouth) will create a killer TH. Pull until the burn is too much, then inhale normally. Serious TH. Careful, it can make you cough.
Also, if you are vaping VG-only juices (no PG) you generally need a little 100 proof vodka or pure grain alcohol (about 10% is good) to thin the juice out. I think the increased TH is from the alcohol itself plus thinner juice means nic is more available. VG is so thick the vapor droplets are larger and more nic is encapsulated, less available immediately. Smooth and great vapor, but also hard on attys.
"Throat Hit" as a general term reminds me of an old Andrew Dice Clay bit wherein he said, "People ask me why I smoke so much...?(inhale)...For the damage." Throat hit makes you feel like you're doing some damage, and really, it's up to debate why we need that.
