Hello all! I have gotten my eGo batteries in the mail along with a few of the sample liquids I have ordered. I found a flavor that I really like and was similar to the flavor I started with on the look alike cigarette, but my question is I don't have the throat hit with it. I purchased from Vermont Vapor and the liquid states *This e-liquid is completely PG-free *. If what I think I have read correctly, the Pg is where the throat hit comes from. Is there anyway to add it to this liquid, or do I just keep searching for a different flavor I like?

Although PG contributes to the throat hit, most of it comes from the nicotine content.

You could approach this problem a couple of ways. You could buy some flavorless pg and mix it with the juice you like, but this method may dilute the flavor of your original juice.

Or, you could order the same juice with a higher nicotine strength and mix with the one you already have (probably preferable).

PG will enhance the throat hit, and makes a difference. I think the easiest thing to do is order some PG/VG juice. PG/VG 80/20 or 70/30 will give you good enhanced throat hit. Even 50/50. VG produces most of the vapor. It's also thicker than PG.

As for the juice you bought, you could try the suggestions from the other posters there.

PG does add to the throat hit and 100% VG juices are pretty smooth. Nicotine is where most of the TH comes from. Some people will add very small amounts of good vodka or grain alcohol to add a little TH. We are talking just a drop or two.

Thats interesting. I haven't come across that in my reading as of yet.
