Does nicotine affect throat hit?

[wv2win]

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!

If they did that, they would STILL get "0" throat hit. PG does NOT provide throat hit. It does allow more throat hit through versus VG, that's all.

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

No. With "0" nicotine, regardless of PG/VG, you will still get no throat hit.

the higher the nicotine content..the harder the throat hit.

I DIY my ejuice, and the higher the nicotine, definitely higher the throat hit. ( I mix to about 30mg, I found that was the ideal # for me having started at 18mg)
I am not doing it to quit however. I quit, quitting. Tried the patch, worked for only a few hours during the day for me. Then I needed more...Tried all sorts of things. I need nicotine in my life, it's definitely self-medication.

I actually don't LIKE throat hit much at this level but, till I mess around with the vg/pg ratio I'm content. I haven't needed or wanted an analog since I got my levels right. I was offered one, after about 2 puffs, I was disgusted and won't go near one again. I smoked over 20 years. Never again.

Nicotine provides throat hit. Power, which in turn affects heat, can boost the TH provided by the nicotine. PG does relatively nothing to affect TH and flavor - but does not produce much vapor. VG mellows TH and flavor - but produces good vapor.

Meaning to say, if using eliquids without nicotine is totally tasteless without any TH at all?????

Nic doesn't effect flavor just TH. some people have mentioned nic adding a bit of peppery taste but I have never experienced it myself (vaping 24mg)

 

[Bluesman]

eliquids with 0 nicotine = no TH
flavor is provided by flavoring additives and is not directly related to the nicotine

 

[chiefpl]

It definitely does!

I don't like the throat hit.

I use a 60/40 blend of pg to vg base with 24 mg nic at the present.

Next purchase of juice I going to 18 mg nic.

Different flavors seem to influence TH, for me.

I use a sweet cream and spearmint that is just about right.

I have heard that a coffe or latte flavor is also smooth so I will try those also

I wondered the same thing, so i tried to lower my nic level and add more PG. Didn't help at all. First bottle of juice was 18mg nic at 50/50 PG/VG mix, so i ordered the next bottle at 12mg juice with 70/30 mix. Didn't seem to help TH at all. Menthol however, seems to add the TH just enough (try a menthol juice if you haven't yet). I've just ordered some more juice with double menthol to add to my tobacco juice, and i HATED menthol analogs. My goal is to get to 6 and eventually 0 nic, so upping my nic level wasn't an option.

yes more nic more TH
