Creating a throat hit?

[Brian Stevens]

Need a little help for a 1st time DIY'r. I created a juice that I absolutely love, except for 1 major problem. It has absolutely zero TH! I'm the kind of vaper that needs a nice kick in the throat from my juices. I made a 10ml bottle of 24mg nic and its mixed at a 70/30 pg/vg ratio. Any advice on how I can create a good throat hit for this flavor? ty

24mg nic and you have 0 throathit ?, kinda seems hard, you are certain you mixed correctly ? Sounds to me you forgot to add the nicotine

throat hit enchancers
- some people say pepper (there is a thread about it somewhere)
- menthol if you like menthol flavor (just 1 drop wont change much, but gives an extra touch)
- koolada from the perfumers apprentice (same feeling as menthol without the flavor)
- Flash from flavourart, but this is more throat irritation for me then throat hit
- more PG, and less VG

Did you try it out on multiple atomizers/setups etc ? Since I have no clue what your hardware is. I never tried anything above 18mg, but that is for me some serious throat hit, no matter how much pg/vg. But it sounds to me somehow you forgot to add the nicotine, or added not enough

If you haven't used a calculator, I can recommend eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator, this helped me out alot when I first started

I would try to make another 10ml and use the programs above. If you happen to have a MAC, there are online calculators also, on linux it should work in wine

sounds kinda odd...@ 24mg and 70% pg u should have major throat hit...maybe try a dripping atty?

Im certain I added my Nic, I'm new to DIY but Ive been studying and reading about it for quite some time now. What about WGA or everclear? I've heard of people using this before to enhance throat hit. Anyone here have any experience using this and if so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Ty

yes, PGA does add TH. so does water. its not a nicotine TH however, its its own kind of TH that you may enjoy. start small, just a few drops and then go from there.
i am also a TH fanatic like yourself. i find that PGA or water can enhance the TH on certain falvors, but not always. and sometiems it changes the flavor, so be warned. (especially if you add too much)
a more reliable method of obtaining TH for me is to use citrus flavors. if your mix is at all able to be mixed with citrus, id try that. Ecto Cooler, Mt Dew, lemon-lime, things like that. also, artificial flavorings have mor eTH than natural ones, in my experience.
id also go with no more than 25%VG.
i would also use a dripping atty, or RBA. most dripping attys have a decent TH, RBAs tend to have fantastic TH.

*note: ive been told that Flash TH Enhancer is just PGA in a tiny bottle
