Just bought an e - cig that arrived today, so excited but now feeling disappointed. i purchased the Joyce 510 which i heard was meant to be pretty good, but when i tried it i was pretty disappointed, and i am not a full time smoker any more, more a social smoker with my weedend wine, so i thought 0 nicotine would do me fine however it lacked any throat hit, so basically didnt seem similar to a cigarette at all. I am new to all this so i am not sure if i need to purchase juice that has nicotine in it to achieve the 'throat hit' or am i using the wrong juice?? I am using dekang - stuyvesant 0mg which i purchased from bozecig, where i bought the e-cig. Please help i have no idea.

Zero nic juice also has next to no TH. There are additives available that may increase the hit. An easier solution may be to add a few drops of PGA or vodka to the liquid. The alcohol will provide some TH. Using a low resistance atomizer will increase the heat of the vapor & also increases TH.

ive found adding vodka can greatly increase the TH. it helped with some of the lower nic flavour i enjoyed, but wanted more TH best advice anyone can give towards 0 nic juice. and wanting big TH.

I've never tried 0 nic, so I know nothing about TH with that. BUT - I have spent the past three weeks trying out various liquids, trying to find my perfect TH/vapor balance. I just finally found it today with 40% VG / 60% PG. I had gotten a juice that was 100% PG - harsh throat hit, no vapor.

Found out - PG = throat hit, VG = vapor.

So, you might want to give a different mixture ratio a try. Personally, I get my juices from VaporBomb (they have a HUGE range of percentages available, and flavors!), but everyone has their own preferences for juice suppliers. They also have a 5% off coupon code: Ejuice5

Hope this helps! Don't give up - just realize (like with cigs) it takes time to find your favorite. But you will!

A couple of flavor components I've found to enhance throat hit a lot are cinnamon and ginger. Try something like Atomic Cinnacide from Tasty Vapors or Ginger (or Raspberry Ginger Ale) from Velvet Vapors. I've never tried either in low or 0 nicotine or with anything but 100% PG, but you might want to check them out.

Also make sure you're vaping properly. Taking a drag from an ecig is not like taking a drag from an analog. Instead of the short, hard drag you would take from an analog, when vaping, take a longer, softer drag (3-5 sec). This will help. My first ecig was the 510. Like you, I was also very disappointed. There was no way that was going to be able to get me off analogs. I'm a slow learner (also didn't find this forum right away)... but I figured it out eventually.

Between that and what others have suggested (adding PGA or vodka), that should do the trick. It also takes very little PGA or vodka to kick it up a notch. Add 1-2 drops to a bottle and test. Similar to cutting your hair - you can always add more - slightly more difficult to back it out.

PG does not give any TH
PG lets through the most of flavor and most TH of nicotine
VG dulls flavor and TH and makes more visible and persistent vapor

Some things besides nic for throat sensation -
Vodka or PGA
QHit (sold by OneStopDIYShop and FreedomSmokeUSA.net and probably Liberty-Flights.com)
Pepper juice or flavoring (sold by FreedomSMokeUSA)
Also strong cinnamons, mints, menthols, ginger
