My throat quickly gets used to the throat hit and I stop feeling it at all. So if I puff away all day long I get no throat hit. If I go back to smoke breaks every hour or so, I get throat hit.

Thats true. I have noticed that when I vape menthol I get a great throat hit. Then it starts to fade so I switch to something else, but when I go back to menthol what a throat hit.:D

What do they add? Does it have any noticeable difference?

I don't know what it is they add. It does make a difference. I tried it at the "filterless" level and it was very strong if I hadn't vaped in an hour or two. But it altered the flavor of the juice. It was still something I'd get used to if I took a puff or two every 10 minutes.

OK I think I will look into it tho. How much did it change the flavor on a 1 to 10 scale would you say?

Citric Acid, lemon juice, vinnegar, Vodka or Pure Grain Alcohol will help.

Usually adding 5-10% works, but less is more when trying it out. I'd just start with a few drops to a 5ml bottle so you don't wack up your juice too much. If you hate it, it is easier to dump 5ml than 30ml.

Menthol can give you more throat hit as well (if you like it). You can make menthol drops with PGA and menthol crystals. Add that to your favorite liquid the same way. That is what got me over the hump (and I never smoked menthol ciggys, but really liked menthol so used it when I was having cravings for a smoke).

If you liquid gets a bit thin, add a little VG (remember though, adding anything is cutting down your nicotine level a bit). Again, just a few drops to start out with.

A 5v passthrough can help... but then you don't want to be tied to a wire all the time (good for at home). A mod at 4.2v (fresh Li-ion charge) can give a bit better throat hit as well. I find 6v too harsh and flavorless to bother with.

Very good information. That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. :)

LR atty Is a great suggestion, but I would think twice before going above 24mg,Too much of a good thing can be bad. I would start with checking the vg/pg ratio first 20/80 is good for throat hit and flavor while still giving you a decent amount of vapor.If thats not hitting the spot defiantly try a new PV. An eGo/LR combo would be the natural progression and the least expensive but at low resistance you are vaping nicotine at a faster rate to begin with( due to the mounds of vapor the LR atty will be giving you on each draw.)So I wouldn't up the Mg.I vape 24mg on LR attys and cartos on 3.7V alot and the throat hit is insane even with 50/50 vg/pg. I have to carry 18mg around with me so If an analog smoker I know wants to try an ecig, It doesn't choke them and turn them Off vaping.

Good luck happy vaping!

Purevapes.com and Vaporrenu.com are two vendors who give you a choice in the amount of throat hit you get. I've heard that the Purevapes.com "scorched" throat hit option is killer. I can highly recommend the Bourbon Cigar flavor from Purevapes. It's one of my favorites. But taste is very subjective. Just thought I would throw it out there. Throat hit has never been high on my list of vaping priorities. I'm more into the vapor and taste. The more vapor the better.

I agree with SMKNOMOR, LR attys produce more vapor and a better TH, get the and lr and you wont be disappointed, I use 12mg with vg, decent th, lots of vapor
