Throat hit is very important to me as it is the only reason that helped me quit cigarettes. I recently ordered 12 mg juices for the first time from MBV (extreme ice, thug juice, ecto, etc.) since I get nic'd out easily from 18mg, but I love the throat hit I get from 18mg. I don't know if its just MBV's juices, but i'm getting barely any throat hit from 12mg. Has anybody ever tried to drop down from 18mg and realize there's a significant difference in TH or are the juices I got just weaker than other 12mg juices?

I was at 18mg for quite a while until I went from a Riva 901 to an Igo. My usual flavors were just too strong...dropped down to 12mg within a week and been at this level for a year. TH fine on the twists w/a K T2 1.8 ohms, 1.7 ohms on my Vmod....I like warm vapor. I have no idea what it will drop to when my Vamo gets here :D

Hi oh,

I've recently dropped from 18mg to 12 mg and its been a smooth transition for me. I have juices from HHV, Alienvisions, the Vapor Room, AiV, and Mt Baker Vapor. What pg/vg ratio were you before? You might want to turn up your pg ratio.
i have pg/vg ratio's that all vary. my 12mg's are all 80/20 pg/vg

Are u vaping high pg levels?
I don't care for throat hit and mostly vape all vg or high vg,
if you want throat hit try high pg.

When I first started vaping I did 80%pg 20 vg at 18 mg and it made me lightheaded. I got great throat hit though
Then I went down to 12 mg like you did and yea I didn't get much throat hit.


have u tried 14 mg? or 16 maybe?

The 12mg juices are all 80%pg. I wanted to move down because I get nic'd out very quickly from 18mg, but i enjoy chain vaping. But the TH is non-existent, so I just think i'm a 18mg man :)

I've only had a few 12MG juices that give any throat hit at all. I have found 18MG to be all over the place depending on PG/VG and what the flavor is but they are all satisfying. I keep trying to switch to 12MG for the same reasons as you. I have found that keeping both 18 and 12 on hand works for me, as I use 12 until I really want a good throat hit and then I switch to 18 for a while.

perfect answer, thank you. someone who's in my shoes... yeah. after i vape this batch of 12mg, i'm never ordering 12mg again. Having no throat hit is pretty frustrating, its like vaping flavored air.

seems noone has asked what device you are using so , im asking...what device are you using? if your using a 4081 or an 808 you really wont get as much TH as say a ego twist on 4.0v, or a regular ego for that matter. If your using a provari or an advanced mod it honestly could be the juice. I vape 12-15mg depending on the juice. Cream soda 12mg on my lava tube hits like a freight train at 4.4v, and some vanillas i have have almost no TH. While some of the fruity flavors have some th, but its weak at 15mg. Mostly i use ego twists and the lava tube with 1.8-2.4 clearo's.

it is my personal opinion you should not vape with the goal of a superior th. While th does help with the overall experience we vape to get nicotine, not to make ourselves cough. You should learn your vaping habits. By that i mean how often you take a vape, how many Ml's a day you vape and adjust your nic level to a point that you are comfortable with and not over doing the nic. Overdoing nic leads to all kinds of headaches, stomach aches and dizzy problems.
