I could swear I read somewhere a while back when I got into DIY juices that adding everclear/grain alcohol can increase the TH.


That's become basically an "old wives tale". Many vets (including myself) tried it a couple of years ago, as well as more recently, and it doesn't work. It's just a waste of good PGA.

I unfortunately have this problem too. I've been trying to gradually wean myself off of nicotine by getting lower and lower mg over time. At the highest, I was using 18mg, but then went to 12-11mg, to 6mg, and now I am trying out 0mg juice. However, that is where the problem starts. The 18mg+ liquids are way too harsh for me, but I find some of the 12mg liquids harsh as well, so I went lower. Now at this point, I am trying out more VG in my liquids (before I opted for a 80/20 mix or so) to get that smooth mouth feel that I like. As a result, now I feel like the TH is gone and that I actually need it. I just can't seem to find a good balance. I'd really like to use less nicotine. I could use more PG again for the TH, but yea, it just feels harsh to me sometimes and doesn't give me that satisfying vapor and mouth feel.

ok here goes my addition to the list.
Purple Pieman 12 mg 65vg/35pg
Fuzion Vapor
I haven't been through a ton of juices but gotta say it has the best TH I have experienced under 24mg
at first when I tried dripping this juice it would nearly choke me,I have since added just a bit of vodka to it to thin it enough for my tank cartos.it seems to lose a bit of Th with a tank setup but it is still a satisfying vape for me:)

Hi there.

I vape 6mg with energy drink (red bull), mainly VG with 10% vodka, ego C twist & vivinova 2.8, those give me great throat hit, even make me cough. I have to settle down nicotine level to 3mg.

Meanwhile, other flavours at 6mg don't seem to give me TH.

Just try Vodka and enegy drink flavor. (I bought it at GreenHouse).

I agree with a lot of the experiences above. IMO, th becomes less of an issue over time. I'm now down to 3mgs, but cannot make the jump to 0. Tried, but still hate the withdrawl. My experience has been that if you really want a buzz down your larynx, go menthol. Its somewhat different experience but you really know you've taken a hit.

Hey Folks,

I wanted to give this thread a slight bump, see if anyone else wants to add to this list :)

Bineva, i was curious what brand of energy drink ejuice are you using? Where do you get it? Cause i'd be very interested in giving it a test drive. Lemme know.

As for what ratio my Blue Water punch seems to be, it doesnt give exact percentages on the bottle but i am assuming by its thickness etc its about 70/30 with the PG being the 70 percent. I should also mention that this Blue Water punch is pretty muc clear and seems to go very very easily on Atty's and cartos.I notice dark juices tend to kill my atties way faster, but this juice i get as much as twice the time out of my atty's.

Add more juices to the list! And don't forget to let us know where you order your suggestions from so we others in search of mega th can find and try them for ourselves!

Be well!

Im in the same boat you are Sachi Im new to vaping (almost a month now) and havent had much experiance with too many juices yet but the ones I have tried so far were between 16-24. The 16 was straight Menthol I got it from a local vendor and the flavor was good, had good TH and Produced good vapor then I tried an 18mg Absinthe juice from RAWR Vapor and that was pretty good with a slightly stronger TH but smoother (does that make scense? lol) I guess anything to me with black licorice in it has a smooth feel. Then I tried 24mg and it was like POW! Too much for me and I vaped that late at night and couldnt go to sleep so I wont be doing that again lol So far I have been happy with the TH from the 16 and 18 and yeah If I can find something equivalent in TH but even lower in nic (like 12mg) then that would be great so I might have to try that blue water punch and I'll for sure be following this thread to see if any other juices are suggested. I suppose I could just add Methol if I buy anything below 16mg and I'd probably be happy. I loooove me some Menthol!

Hey Master Blaster -

I've been vaping now for a few years. There are a Few Juices that have hit my FAVORITES list. But the problem is most of them have a ton of nic, and i never put my PV down. Like. EVER. So, vaping high level nic juice for me is gonna OD me super quick. And i already have enough health problems, i need to AVOID adding any nicotine induced symptoms to confuse the doctors trying to diagnose me lol.

So, I'm gonna give you a few hints that have helped ME get the throat hit that i really want. While i consider myself a Veteran Ecig User, i will freely admit that i am not in any way shape or form the most knowledgable. I'm sorta a Jack of All Trades. I can Make a handful of mods, I can jerry rig a busted mod to work again, i can mix some ejuices, can even fix a few atty problems. but i am not experienced enough to call myself an expert on ANY of these things. So take my info as you will.

Hands down Best Atty's I have found - NOT Rebuildable kind

Avidvapor.com has Cisco spec atty's which are, really in my opinion, the best hands down atty's available on the market in the under 10 dollar range. They last twice as long as most atty's, they come in various ohm ratings and all are tested before being shipped so you wont get duds. I use 306 (which fits 510 threads, buy a 306 drip tip tho.)1.5ohm atty. The 306 has great flavor, really great flavor, and the throat hit is Monster strong. Also i use a VV mod and try and keep it at 4.2 and that seems to extend the life of my atty's also.

After Avidvapor.com i think IkenVape makes really nice atty's but those are the two companies i really had spectacular experiences with. I will say that i am a straight dripper, no tanks or cartos for me. But my brother likes cartos - and he likes the ones i buy from avidvapor an awful lot also.

The three juices i like the most are:

The Blue water punch from volcanoecigs.com at 8mgs - With the above explained set up (1.5ohm 306 avid vapor atty, plus VV mod set at 4.2) i get a really great throat hit with a nice good tasting mild fruity vape.
HoneySuckle ejuice - From Joogler and Kickbassvapor.com (KBV calls it Hummingbird necter) - Both at 18mgs, but i have a feeling we could mix it down slowly to find the lowest point with the best throat hit. Joogler's has the stronger throat hit, and its a great flavor - KBV has a fantastic flavor too, and in my experience just a SLIGHTLY smaller throat hit. Both are awesome.

Recent fav:

Kickbassvapor.com sent me out a tester of "Nanner Nut Loaf" and OMG it was fantastic. I dont usually like to try juices that are super complicated cause i dont usually find them that successful in their outcomes. But this juice tastes EXACTLY like a big slice of warm bananna nut bread completely slathered in butter. its REALLY good, especially if you have a sweet tooth. They got such a hugely overwhelming response that they put it on the site super fast after the testing phase. I tried this one at 18mg too, good throathit, but i do think i'm gonna try and water it down to find the LOWEST nic amount with the BEST throat hit.

Its amazing to me how few juices meet this critera for a LOW Nic Juice with a High throat hit. I really thought that this page would be full of various options. But despite the fact we all want lower nic juices that satisfy us, there really arent many.

Maybe we should start writing Juice venders and asking them to design us juices!

be well, folks

Sachi-

Have you ever tried any cherry cola flavored juices? Its really hard to explain but its almost like you are vaping carbonated soda. Its really unique. I have tried this at 12mg and 8mg nic levels and the carbonation feel kinda mimics a throat hit for me. Its really interesting and I really like the flavor too. I am also a fan of rootbeer flavored liquid but for some reason the ones I have tried are much more smooth feeling. The Organic Rootbeer I got from vaperite has no fizzy feel and the one from BlueMist that I have tried is slight but still nothing really worth noting if my memory serves me. If you haven't tried BlueMist I highly recommend them. Everything I have tried has been great! I love cherry and have been on the hunt like most other vapers out there for an authentic maraschino cherry vape. Most of us are dissatisfied with the cherry liquids out there because they taste like cough syrup. The cherry cola does NOT taste like cough syrup. Its more of a subtle cherry flavor hint of cola with fizz. I have tried several. Off the top of my head I would recommend BlueMist Vaping or Vaperite's. I too never put my PV down and often experience the jitters to the point where I feel like I took high ephedrine based weight loss pills. I usually vape at about 16mg and am still playing around with pg/vg mixes to find what I like. I am really concerned about the OD situation so too I am on the hunt for much of the same thing you are but am not as concerned with TH as I am flavor and vapor, although the trifecta would be nice. Like I said, I have vaped these 2 liquids from the aforementioned companies at 12mg and 8mg. I don't think I have ever tried them at zero (i have been vaping on and off for about 3 years now) and have yet to find a single 0 nic liquid that I like. However, I think the cherry cola might be a good possibility for what you are looking for. I might even give a try now that I brought it up.

This is a hard topic...call me crazy but me and my buddy have noticed that even the drip tips will give more of a throat hit than others. And one day my juice will give a good throat hit the whole day then the next day it does nothing. So i think so long as you always switch up the juice and don't give your throat time to get used to one flavor you should get good TH results.

I think I've experienced this as well. I'm 7 months in and have just gotten into RDA's and mech mods which I am VERY happy with. Also just built my 1st 'Good' micro coil tonite. Adjusting the height of the coil really makes a diff. I also thought I had tasted flavors until I started building micro-coils. Day and night diff from carto's, clearo's, and T3's, eVod's, etc. This is just MY opinion so take it with a grain of salt! BUT, after 7 months and over 300 flavors I think I can finally see a point where I'm very happy with vaping.
If you are kinda new to vaping, read about RBA's and RDA's and mech mods. I read and read this site and have learned more than I ever thought I would.
Now I wish I had back the 70+ bottles of juice I've given away cause they didn't taste good! It wasn't the juice, it was my delivery system.

OOPS! I forgot to say that RDA's give a lot more TH for me.

Pink Spot, any of their dark brown bakery juices will do the trick! Not to derail, but anyone know if they do custom nic levels? My ADV is PS's French Vanilla, it is soooo much better than you think it is. Imagine a "Pink, Cartoon" flavored Vanilla. Like, artificially flavored, in a GOOD way, lol.

nicotine does factor in a lot in the TH but the other thing that gives you that punch is the amount of PG. Higher PG maybe the reason your juice is low in nic but high in TH. Higher PG like 60pg or higher will give you more throat hit but the higher in PG you get less vapour. Its all what satisfies you and thats what vaping is all about. Funny how all of us differ so much. For me its all about the taste and clouds and clouds of vapour. TH is the least that I care about. I am a vape hound, I vape a lot( 3-9ml a day) so I have had to lower my nic content because I was over- nic-ing. I was getting nauseous and shaky and getting head aches. So I vape at 12mg or less, usually 6mg.

I was also remembering that some companies add certain flavors to their juice to get TH, ingredients like a touch of clove, coffee, cinnamon replicate TH. Your juice deliver also affects the heat and the TH. I get more TH with the same juice when I use my Phoenix RA and I think I remember that the Ikenvape 306 and the 901s 1.7 atty were too harsh for me so you might like them. You have to get and adapter for those to work with you 501 devices.

Ay names of ejuice
