Does nicotine affect throat hit?

[mscowgirlup]

I have just started vaping and don't seem to get much of a throat hit. I am using juice with no nicotine because I am wearing a patch to quit smoking.

I bought a disposable e cig and the throat hit is much more intense. So just wondering if it is the nicotine that makes the difference.

Thanks

Yes, nicotine is the number one factor in th. There are ways to add th but imo they don't measure up.

You could always get rid of the patch and vape some low level juice. Whatever works for you!

Yes, nic level does affect throat hit. Just be careful vaping any juices with nicotine while wearing a patch and remember that if you take off the path there's still nicotine in your system so don't vape nic juices right away!

The two main parts of good throat hit are nicotine level (18mg - 24mg is the most common) and warmth of the vapor produced by better battery models such as a good 5 volt or variable watt or volt model. 0 nicotine = 0 throat hit.

My experience says yes, nicotine matters. Like AzPlumber plumber said, there are ways of increasing TH, but nic is the main ingredient.

If i was you i would ditch the patch, vape 18mg juice, then slowly drop the nic level so that you can get off them eventually.

Yes, nicotine is probably the primary factor, along with PG (Glycol) content of the liquid. If I wanted to increase the TH without nicotine I'd try vaping straight PG with a bit of flavoring, no VG content, and see how that worked for me. happy Vaping!

the higher the nic expecially 18+ will give you damn decent throat hit, if thats what your looking for!

Some people prefer a softer throat hit and go 12 or below... just depends on what type of person you are

but it defiantly affects the throat hit (only other factor is how much power your batter and atty produce)

As someone who started with 24mg and now vapes 0-6mg - YES!! nicotine effects TH. I've found that menthol helps a bit (and I detested menthol as a smoker)

Please be careful of vaping nicotine with the patch. Nicotine over dosing can (and has) happened and can have very serious consequences.

For me nicotine is the main factor in a decent throat hit at 3.7 volts, I gotta vape at least 12mg nicotine to get a TH. 18 mg is even better though. But at 6v using a carto in a liquinator tank I get a satisfactory throat hit off 6mg nicotine juice. The heat and shear volume of vapor at 6v helps simulate a 18 mg TH.

 

[Kanuck74]

great, and eventually i want to be nic free.

 

[Darkwitless]

Drew - what are you vaping on a 6v? (just curious)

 

[rayboy55]

This is good to know but if you vape with no nicotine, can you get TH with more PG then VG ???

 

[Jrogers75]

I agree with darkwitless. Menthol does help a bit with th and of course stronger nicotine levels.

 

[Vapourscience]

gotta have the nic if you want the hit!

Sorry im new here. Hope you can answer this question. When people say vape "16mg", is that 16mg of nicotine in the standard 10ml bottle?

 

[AzPlumber]

What that means is they are using a nicotine strength of 16mg in each ml

Thanks! Always been confused with the juice labeling
