Does high(36mg) nicotine affect harshness a good bit?

[scott44]

The was my first experience with vaping so I have nothing to compare it with.I only got 36mg juice.Is lower nicotine juice not as harsh?

 

[SchmidtyKy]

I would say yes. Nicotine has a bit to do with throat hit, and can even make the juice a bit "peppery" if there is a lot of it. I vape at 24mg because that's what it takes for me to stay off cigs. But I like the flavor better at 18mg nic. Oh well, one day I will go down to the 18, but for now I'm a happy camper.

Can you tell us more about the juice? Where did you get it? Is it customizable? If so, you can order it certain ways to try and reduce harshness (less PG more VG-flavor shots perhaps?).

Absolutely! That's about as high as you can go

If you need the 36 mg to stay off the cigs, try getting a higher VG blend the next time that you order. That will smooth it out a good bit. 36 mg is not unusual for a heavier smoker to start with and sometimes it takes even a little higher strength for very heavy smokers.

Good luck!

See if you can go even higher with the VG percentage if you need that much nic. You'll get more clouds, too! Otherwise, I would suggest ordering at 24mg nic next time. You might enjoy it even more without the harshness.

If you stay at 36mg...I would probably go with the 20PG/80VG blend. You could even go with the "Max VG" or the 70%VG with 30% distilled water. But you may have a better throat hit without choosing the water option. Try the 80%VG or the MaxVG and see if either one of those help out.
