Need my throat hit!!!!

[wv2win]

Again, I'm surely not a vet and I don't get into the X voltage, mods and all that stuff. I'm just a guy who's been using the simple little batteries with what I deem to be good success for me and would never get snobby about it like I've seen some. I'm just replying and asking questions in a thread about what I and others deem to be "throat hit". Though it may not be what the perceived snobs in this venture would call it, I and many others still refer to it as such. And if an additive that is not harmful will help me find a reasonable facsimile with my little "Mini-PV", then great. If not, then I'll continue to do what I've been doing and leave the snobbery to others.

First, I was not referring to your post. I stated "when someone states that "such & such" additive provides throat hit". I did not see that in your post, so I was not referring to you.

I was referring to those who state you get "great" throat hit from a particular low nic level eliquid on a mini-PV or they added something like PGA and it provides great throat hit. That's just plain BS and misleading to new people who are searching for real solutions and not more disappointment and wasted money. And my understanding of what good throat hit is, is not based solely on the 15 different model PV's I've vaped on or the 100+ eliquids at different nic levels I've used. It's also based on the thousands of posts I read from other members of this and other vaping forums that confirms what true throat hit really is. Mindfield explained it well except I would add the other part of the throat hit equation which is warmth of the vapor.

So you can unknot your panties and climb down from your preacher's pulpit and just chill out. We don't want some new person to think you can get true throat hit from low nic eliquid on a mini-PV or just add something like pepper and all of a sudden you have truely good throat hit.

See, I'm not so sure it's the warmth itself that matters. The warmth -- or more specifically, the wattage output, is really just a means to creating more vapor, which means you're getting more of whatever is in the juice, be it flavour or TH, simply because you're getting a greater volume of it per puff. The fact that it's warmer I think is just an added pleasantry.

You might be right, from a technical standpoint. Although in your example, the end result is the same - that warmth, provided by better batteries, enhances the throat hit. I don't even like the term "throat hit" as it does not accurately describe what we are talking about, as explained well in your previous post. I like the term "inhaled feel" of an analog.

I do know (as I know you do also), that there is a pronounced (positive) difference in the "inhaled feel" when you vape with 5 volt or 4.5 to 5.0 volt PV's.

True, but when evaluating a product to determine its ability to provide any form of throat hit, I think it's important to accurately identify what aspect is contributing to it the most. A TH booster is no good to a 510 user if it's only produced at >5V or <2 ohms, so I think it would be important to point that out if that is the case.

I don't know, "throat hit" seems to work for me, as "inhaled feeling" could refer to anything. Menthol "feels" like something, as does cinnamon or PGA when inhaled, but none of them really "hit" in the way that term comes across to me compared to the way nicotine feels going down. But that's a personal thing and I can be nitpicky.

freedom smokes 12 mg liquids give me a decent TH

i apologize if you've answered this already, but what do you feel is the best 4.5 - 5v pv that you use to provide the most pronounced difference in inhaled feel? thanks in advance!

Throat hit is subjective. What one person considers just right may put someone else into a coughing fit. Some like the peppery sensation and others like a little harness. Others find the right combination of juice, voltage, and atomizer. It's a difficult thing to pin down.

The Wyatt Earp from FSUSA is a good suggestion, though.

Most definitely the Darwin. It is the only power regulated (variable wattage) PV on the market.

I've never experienced ANY "peppery" element in good throat hit. I've never heard of anyone else describing good throat hit using this term as a description. I have experienced "peppery" taste in bad throat hit caused by additives to eliquid.
