How to get more Throat Hit?

[rc51kodiak]

Does anyone know how to get more throat hit from Diy e-juice?

I am mixing at 24-36mg with 80/20 pg-vg and no matter what I do I can not seem to get the throat hit of bought juices at less nic level.

I was wondering what I am missing in the mix? pepper? or is it something else?

Any help would be appreciated.....

I've noticed that if I thin my 50/50 with a drop or two of water it seems to have more TH, but produces less vapor. Try that.

Thanks davelog
I will give it a try and then let you know how it worked for me.

Interesting... any luck?

Did not work for me,

The only diy juice that I have any throat hit with is made with peppermint and menthol mixed in.

I have been searching for that missing ingredient for the past few months, I have heard that some people use pepper to increase throat hit can anyone confirm that?

Yes, pepper extract is used. I hate it. Makes me cough on the first hit. A lot of people use pure grain alcohol to give throat hit. Works for me.

I have not tried it but I was reading this thread with interest other day.

are the only options vodka/everclear, water, and maybe pepper? i really don't want to add pepper. blah. vodka it is i guess.

i just mixed my first diy juice (80% vg 20% lorann's apple). has absolutly no th.

Try more PG.

Much of this is subjective and some have a tendency to get a bit defensive when a recommendation doesn't include what they are using.

Therefore, keeping my username in mind, this is what has worked exclusively for me:
(in order of making the most difference)

1. Higher voltage device.
2. Try direct dripping.
3. Higher PG mix 70/30 or 80/20 (can get harsh)
4. Flavors like a green apple help a bit

pure grain alcohol? Yes that could be amazing! I never heard of anyone smoking liquor though.

Thanks everybody you gave me many good ideas to try.

Keep them coming as I am on a mission to get as many ideas as I can.

My mix right now is 30mg nic and it is a blend of pure grain alcohol 190 proof and pg nic juice with a little vg about 20% I vape at 6volts usually with a 306 IKV 3.5ohm atty and the only juice that seems to give me the throat hit I am looking for is various flavors from backwoods brew such as cafe mocha and caramel cap at 24mg and from my peppermint menthol mix that I make which is the mix above.

Any more info to point me in the right direction would be great.

PG and Nicotine are the two main TH contributers, throatkick (above me) has the best answer/s

 

[rc51kodiak]

If Pg and Nic are the main things how come some juices at lower nic say 18mg have way more throat hit then say some of my dyi juice at 30mg 80/20 pg-vg?
I am not saying that anybodys wrong I am just wondering because I cant seem to figure it out

This sounds less like a throat hit and more like a throat dropkick. That would annihilate my esophagus. Wow, vape on.

The funny thing is I was never a smoker, I was a smokeless tobacco user for 15 years so I have no clue why I like a throat hit....

You are using up to 36 mg nic and that's why I didn't mention it earlier.

Something must be off. There has never been a person that has tried my PV and hasn't coughed no matter how heavy their cigarettes were.

Additionally, the alcohol and pepper etc. is not truly a hit for me. It produces more of a burning sensation.

@ Throatkick

would you mind giving your exact recipe so that I could try it and see if it works for me? I would really appreciate it...

I have tried 4 different brands of Nic juice and a few different brands of Pg and have used different measuring devices just to make sure that they were accurate, and still not the kick I am wanting. Something may be off but it is doutbtful unless all the unflavored Nic juice from different online shops is labeled wrong and it is not really the mg specified on the bottle. It also could be an error on my part when it comes to the measuring but I would think that after all the mixes I have made I would have atleast done one of them right but who knows I am not a chemist


Once again thank you all for the responses...

Back to the lab I go!

 

[DarthVper]

Just a thought but wouldn't adding PGA to your juice also help keep the atty clean?

Get some Q-hit for your diy juice.FSUSA and ecigexpress carry it.Its for added TH.
