I need a strong TH to be happy, so I run pure PG, or at most 80/20 blends. Usually 18mg, but some flavors need 24 or even 36 to give the good TH I like, just vape less often on them.
I have mixed my own as high as 46mg nic, not recommended unless you want a one pull an hour vape.

Thanks guys.. That's really helpful because I really want to reduce my nic level but I was so worried about losing the throat hit I'm used to 18mg. But I've tried a couple of juice vendors that don't offer the option to choose my pg/vg levels and I don't think I'm ready for DIY just yet. Any juice vendor suggestions for newbies like me?
I would just try going a bit lower if you want. I have had good results with 12mg with a heavier PG concentration. Just fiddle around and you will find your liquid. It took me quite a while to find the "perfect" liquid for me (which is DK-TAB/DK-BLEND). Everyone is different, you just need to experiment.
for me is 18mg a little bitter,
also important is it in carto or genesis.
In genesis i like 8mg in carto 12mg
Throat Hit in genesis is stronger anyway

I like MadVapes, Lucky's (a fairly new one with a few b&m and a few things online now - their flavors are really accurate, who knew you could vape cereal LOL and, all of their 12 and up gives decent throat hit on even a plain old CE4)
Genesis is a style of tank that utilizes a stainless steel wick or mesh wick as it is usually the 300-500 'gauge' range. Instead of using a carto tank it absorbs the juice in the wick and burns through a kenthal/bakero wire set-up. So in essence, it is like a hybrid between tank and re-buildable atomizer. Some of the genesis-style atomizers are the Igo-L 2?, AGA-T2, The Turbine and others.

Several variables to solve your TH question:
1. Nic level (higher increases TH)
2. PG/VG - Higher PG increases TH
3. Delivery device in order of best TH: RBA/RDA's, Carto's, Clearos
4. Wicking in order of best TH: Mesh, Ceramic, cable, cotton, silica
5. Power: You're atomizing the juice, the amount of atomization and heat play a factor. Sometimes, upping the power will improve TH
6. Resistance: in the right setup, lower resistance coils can provide some doozy TH
7. Even Vape Technique can change the TH
This is subjective, so everyone will have a slightly different take on this. Many Vets I have conferred with say you need about 12 - 18 mg to get a good throat hit. You can reduce this a bit with all PG, or even higher PG ratios, and certainly, RBA/RDA's can blow your head off with the right coils, and at lower nic levels, particularly with low Ohm coil setups.
Welcome to VapeQuest. You have the ingredients. You just need to do the mad scientist thing to see what works best for you. Certainly, there is a combination that will allow you to get a great TH with less nicotine. Of course, what's so bad about a little nicotine anyway? Well, that's another thread. Good luck, happy hunting, Power Up and Vape On!

At the cottage and have a major major headache but can't take any meds cuz I'm pre-op so I'll make this short.
Began at 36 mg X 50+ ml per week. Vaped 60/ 40 PG/ VG.
Now Vaping 2 mg X 15? ml per week. To a have a TH I now vape 85/15 PG/ VG on a Vamo @ 9 watts. Also sometimes add some menthol to aid in the TH.
I found higher PG and a higher voltage/ wattage aids in the TH. Menthol also helps.
Best of Luck.
