Newbie, how is the Throat hit is like for a low nic juice, anybody there Vaping low nic, plsss help

[MrJoseph]

Thank you for stopping by, i am really tired of searching for answers all over the net, so i have decided to stop and ask for help ... i am very new to all this e-cig thing, i got my ego and a few 18 mg juices about 10 days ago and i have learned a lot since then from forums like this one and u tube videos, but i still have a few unanswered questions, one of the most important Q for me, I believe we all or most of us tend to vap a lot more than what we used to when we were smoking, this is a veeeeery serious matter for me because of a health concern, i shouldn't be even smoking at all, but we all know how is it like to try to quit. even though i couldn't do it, But at least i was able over the years and occasional brief quitting to bring it down to about7 or 8 cig a day,
I believe That the E-cig is a gift from heaven to all smokers those who wants to quit and those who are not, BUT, I, like almost everybody here, found myself, OVER DOING IT aaand that is not acceptable, my loooong search came back with one thing, 0 nic= no th, so the next thing for me is to try to find the next best thing;
What is the LOWEST nic i can use and still get a GOOD th? 4,6,8 or do i have to go more than that ???????
does LR atty's gives a better th?
Why do people have 5 & 7 V devices, my ego at 3.7 gives an incredible amount of vap and th , i can,t imagine anyody needing more!
I have a few more Q but i thing I'll start another thread for that, thanks for reading through and sorry that i talked too much

From my little experience, that is I have 901 with two juices. One is high the other mid. I get a better th with mid, I don't know why but this is how it works for me. However with high, since I don't feel th I can get a little dizzy pretty fast. I think it all depends on the supplier or the ingredients.

BTW: I've noticed the same thing, I vape more than I used to smoke. There is a easy way around it for me, I treat my PV as a normal cig in terms of where can I smoke. I always go outside in the public places ie: restaurants. I do vape in a car but it is not as often as at home in front of PC. The main problem is, if you sit in front of the PC you don't focus on vaping that much because your brain is busy with all the information you are retrieving from your display I am planning to quit nicotine in near future, maybe a month or two. Then I will only vape for pleasure Isn't vaping cool ?

The higher your PG content the more TH it will feel as if the juice has - VG doesn't carry TH as well so the higher VG the less TH it feels. You could try a 12mg at a higher PG for more TH. I use 12mg (and sometimes 6 or 0) and I use 80/20 PG/Vg but then I dont like too much TH, however all VG is a little too 'soft' for even my fussy palate
Try varying PG levels with small juice bottles to find your 'fave level' - or you could always do DIY and do it that way.
Higher voltage will feel as if the TH is higher but it still depends on the juice to some extent. LR atties will mimic a higher voltage on the lower battery amount.

What CaptJay said. I think the TH is more a product of the juice and the PG/VG mix than it is of the nic content. I have some "Fireball" juice that is only 6 mg nic that is very harsh (TH) to me.....and I have some 24 mg. nic Blueberry juice that is smooooooth with lots of vapor. So.....I think it's the PG and the flavor (sometimes) more than the nic level. I could be wrong....I'm pretty new at this.

Thank you so much Capt for the reply, after a little thinking, I think i over emphasized a little about the th, what i am really searching for is a gooood, cooool (not harsh) th, very much what you will get from a medium or lite analog cig, not a reg, not a no filter, not a sigar like hit, nor an ultralight cig,
I am very curious about your experiance with the 12 mg vs the 6 mg, how do they compare, what i really really need to know is; if i go down from the 18mg i am using right now to 12 or 8 or 6 of the same flavor and same name brand using the same e cig what will the th be like?, will i still get something compareble to what i am getting from the 18mg, if not, how close to it, of course with the same pg/vg cut and all.

If youre going to reduce nic level to smooth out your TH then Id suggest going down a little at a time. Maybe go from 18mg to 16 or 12 - I think ging to 6 or 0 from 18mg would be too large a step to take in one go.
With 0 I get very little or no TH UNLESS the flavor of the liquid itself is very strong.
Example 1 : TV Butter rum, doubler (0 nic). This is very BOLD flavor and 'feels' like there is some TH even though I doubt there is lol but the strength carries enough 'weight' to make it feel like its doing 'something'.
Example 2: DIYFS Orangey Pouncake (0 nic). I love this one but at 0 nic there is just the soft taste and flavor but no TH at all. I vape this because it tastes great but it does nothing for me as far as cravings go (or Th). I need to get a blast of the same liquid with nic in it to feel the 'weight' with this one.
I thought I needed no TH at all, which tends to go along with most 0 nic liquids but it turns out I do need 'a little'.
Example 3: Atomic Cinnacide (TV, 12mg) - this has a monster TH at 12mg - far too much for me in fact but the 'weight' is very heavy (great for people who love cinamon). I can't imagine vaping this at a higher nic strength lol. I also imagine that at 0 nic its also packs a punch

TLDR: depends on the flavor and composition of the juice as well as the nic level
I hope that was more helpful that it looks reading it back to myself lol

Haha! I just posted a review of Backwoods Brew Applewood zero nicotine, hadn't read this post yet...I too am concerned about getting too much nicotine cause I vape all day long. I don't think you have to sacrifice a good TH, vapor or taste with zero nic juice...just got to find the the right juice.

Thank you JC, have you tried 6 mg of other flavor? what was your experiance with it if you did? i am looking for just a good smoooooth th over no hit at all from the 0 nic, something similar to med or lite analog cig (with the absolute minimum nic mg that can provide that), the 18 mg i have of diferent flavor are all good and very close, i am searching for something close to that to cut down on my nic intake.

That is what i am desperately trying to find

 

[JC Okie]

Well, Mr. Joseph, I haven't tried anything else that's 6 mg/nic, but I have some juice from Ms T's Bakery that is 11 mg that really packs a punch. In fact, I'm not that into TH...I prefer smooth with lots of vapor....and the stuff from Ms. T's that has cinnamon in it seems harsh (TH) to me. I truly think you'd get a throat hit from it with 0 nic. I have some Cinnamon Danish Banana and some Snickerdoodle Cookies that are both 11 mg and they both give me more throat hit than I like. Check out something with cinnamon in it. www.mstsbakery.com
Also try "Fireball" from www.freedomsmokeusa.com. It burns my throat a little.

I hope that was more helpful that it looks reading it back to myself lol

No it didn't, ;-) of course it helped.... to a degree , if you have noticed, i hardly talked about the 0 nic, because i read enough about them aaand that they don't provide any th, my quest is to find the next best thing, a decent throat hit with the absolute min amount of nic, and how the th of say 10 or 8 or even lower would compare to the saaaaame e-jucie with 18 nic, i really really need you to describe to me your experience with 6 mg nic, i sent you a reply asking that don't know if you saw it or not, scroll-up, aaaand i promise not to bother you again

 

[CaptJay]

ah lol
If I were you I would try 12mg for one liquid and see how it goes - I like 12mg in the main I find the TH quite smooth and not intrusive, but that applies for anything other than menthol or cinamon because those 2 seem to give more TH at lower levels of nic imo.

Thank you Capt, i was thinking of going lower than 12 because i think 12 mg in 1 ml still a little high, not much though, but i was curious about how the the th hit is like at say 6mg, that is why i started this post so people can share with me their experiences, BUT i have found out that people don't really read anything or tend to still go about what they like to talk about, like YOU for example, i am tired of asking you to describe your exp with the 6mg, and you won't, YOU wore me out CaptJay, i give up )))))))

 

[DC2]

Thank you Capt, i was thinking of going lower than 12 because i think 12 mg in 1 ml still a little high

You appear to be assuming a 100% absorption rate of nicotine from vaping.
Most studies seem to be showing we are only getting about 10% absorption.

Many will argue it might be as high as 40% though.
But there are no studies to back that up.

um..ok...
I havent got a LOT of experience with 6mg and again it varies by flavor thats why I didnt go into massive detail about - it wouldnt be helpful. Sorry.

Dear Mr. Joseph...CaptJay is probably one of the most thoughtful people on this board....He answers many noobs questions and is pretty thorough and always kind . Sometimes it is hard to portray your meaning in written word and there are so many variables to vaping....I know...because I am one that is a little slow on the learning curve myself. If I remember right, CaptJay stated that he doesn't really prefer a big th, so maybe he's the wrong person to ask about personal experiece with it. Maybe ask someone who really cares about having a big th.... I know you're trying to play nice, but you're coming off as rude .

 

[ChuckB]

I mostly vape 5mg juice that I mix myself. For my tastes, this may not work for everyone, if I want more TH I add 151 rum to my mix, if I want less, I add VG. The flavor does make a lot of difference and the type of flavoring. With Loranns raspberry I use no 151 rum but with Loranns marshmello I add almost 3% 151 rum by volume and cut back on the VG.

I think CaptJay is a girl........yes?
