Does nicotine amount effect throat hit?

[Devin35]

Hey guys, My favorite e-liquid with nicotine is out of stock and they only have the 0mg nicotine left, thinking of ordering it, but how would this effect taste and throat hit? I usually vape 24 or 18mg.
Thanks!

I would guess it would take away from throat hit. You could always get unflavored nicotine liquid and add to your favorite 0mg juice.

 

[Levitas]

Yes, I believe it definitely does.

I think nicotine strength probably has more effect on throat hit that anything else.

I dont know...I cant tell much difference form 18 to 24 on the same flavors Ive tried..
I would think heat affects the TH more then anything. Some have said grain alcohol added to it helps add throat it too.

I started with Greensmoke, in vanilla at 0mg. Later started using 6mg. Even at that, I started getting TH that I was missing. I still had the 0mg carts tho, so switched back and forth a lot for a while.

My opinion is yes, nicotine content does affect TH, but I've also found only a slight difference between, say 6mg and 12mg. I finally settled on 18mg because the TH was too much for me at 24mg, but YMMV. I found all that to be true, too, for cartos, cartridges, direct dripping and the tank.

I'm on the same page with ancient here. I use primarily 18mg but 24mg is a bit too much for me, personally.

Yeah it does, but it's just one of many factors. You can make 0 nic juice have good TH with the right combo of wattage and ingredients.

My understanding is that the nic is a irritant and pg does little to buffer it on the throat tissue but vg does buffer it a little better. Other ingredients like alcohol or pepper juice can be used as well. I also try to keep my vapor relatively cool by just hitting the button for a second or two on a four second pull. I don't get a lot of vapor that way but I get a lot of flavor and it keeps my th about right for me.

Agreed. Second - heat - which in actual affect only means more vapor and hence more nicotine per draw to absorb

Hey Guys,

Just noticed this thread. Ok so since I am down to 0mg and have found nothing Ive tried has ANY TH with any of the flavors I have tried (mind you they have been mainly fruit or desert flavors) other than menthol or mint, and even that doesn't really feel like TH to me.

Can anyone recommend what flavors they have tried that has added or enhanced TH in anyway? I think I remembered reading Coffee flavors seem to give you better TH, but not sure if Im making that up or not lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't PG offer better TH than VG (which sucks since I cant do PG without getting a mouth full of cankers and dry mouth is horrible)

higher MG Nic definitely has a greater TH, it is hard to find a 0MG juice with good TH that I really like the flavor of since to get it to have TH you need some special sauces in it, haha I'm still between 18-24 after all this time vaping and can't seem to get any lower than the 18mg though I wished I could get lower to something like 12mg, hopefully someday soon

Strength of nicotine affects both hit and flavor. However, beyond 18 mg, the recipe for the juice is probably most important in determining the throat hit, followed by how hot the atty is getting.

HTH,
