I was forced to give up nicotine thanks to a new regulation from my health insurance company. Anyone who takes a blood test prior to entering a hospital can be randomly checked for nicotine in the blood. Those who test positive automatically lose their health insurance coverage, and there are no second chances. I'm not willing to take that risk, so I no longer use e-juice that contains any nicotine at all.
The throat hits I get are pretty much nonexistent. I miss that great feeling soooooo much. Is there anything I can add to my e-liquid to beef up the throat hits? I've already tried menthol drops and additional flavorings, and that did no good whatsoever. Please help if you know of anything!

Freedomsmokeusa also sells a pepper ejuice which it says can add TH (search there for pepper). use code freedomsmokeusa - usually gives 10% off. And watch out - their samplers are fixed 24mg nic so look in their regular sections. And you could ask in your order notes that they please not include a free sample.

And Avejuice sells a thick all-VG juice with quite a bit of TH though I haven't tried it in 0 nic (I tried their Boba's Bounty which I have heard legends of)

I ran into that as well with the insurance thing. Read the policy carefully!!! What mine said is, you are considered a non smoker if you smoke one or two cigs a week (if I recall right). So here is the kicker. I have lots of friends, medical professionals who say you can test for nicotine if you are around second hand smoke, therefore there is no way they can pin you as a smoker simply based on that blood test because you can be exposed by second hand smoke easily AND because of the parameter set by the insurance industry to classify you as a non smoker.
In fact I have a friend I work with who has NEVER smoked but was around second hand smoke for years working in bars. She has not worked in bars for the last 10 years and STILL shows nicotine in her blood. Point is, it would be a VERY week case that would not hold up. So read your policy on that issue very carefully and know your facts.
Just a suggestion, of course if you can go 0 nic, by all means do so!

Thanks for the link Kamiel it looks like i will give it a go as I need a throat hit with zero or low nicotine. Qhit and throat hit plus are not so good I have been led to believe. I have tried diablo loco and it gives a massive throat hit even in small amounts. I find that you also get a chill sensation on your tongue and a chilli taste. It mixes with my flavours and ruins them. If your atty runs dry and we all do it, you get a Nasty chilli burn in the throat much worse than a usual dry atty taste. The throat hit is unlike nicotine and is oddly cool and has a delay after inhalation. I like chilli but am not good with hot ones they make my throat close up quicky, not an allergy just a reflex.

The diablo loco can be felt in the top part of my chest to. It is well worth a try and I suggest thinning it down to make it easy to use. If you mix a ml or two at a time 1 drop will be far to much. I think by thinning it you will find it will add well to some flavours better than others and will give a nice TH with little taste. It gives juices a nice colour tint I must add..

I have just mixed 1 drop of diablo loco with 20 drops of vg/pg mix and then added about ten drops to 4 ml of pineapple juice it has just started to give a little more throat hit has made the pineapple taste better and slightly spicy. After adding a little more the taste has got better but more spicy the throat hit is not that strong juice is only 4 mg nic tho.

In the end I put 1 drop of diablo loco into 0.5 ml of pg/vg mix and added that to a pineapple juice about 4 ml the taste is nicer than before and has a chilli spice flavour as you would expect. The throat hit is mild but again better than before.

Thus I conclude a small amount of diablo loco works a a flavour and throat hit enhancer but has to be thinned and added drop by drop untill the desired taste is achieved. Amen.

I tried PGA and lemon juice and it did squat I dripped it onto the atty straight in the end no TH for me. Please can anyone else have a go and post as I feel this is a myth that has made it's way into our reality via people reading and re posting. This is in now way a dig at Texas Granny's post above may I add. I just tried it and no TH for me
