Nicotine Comparisons

[schatz]

@aikanae1 - I have never experienced "throat hit" and I think it is because I do light draws - like when I smoke? I have asked and asked what it is lol and do not get it. I also do not do lung hits at all. The thing you need to consider when I talk about taste is that I can use 5% of a ready made juice for flavoring - hopefully that will let you know where I am coming from - I doubt very much that most people would truly get any baccy taste from VT TH nic.

I just recieved my throat hit VT yesterday, based on recommendations here and whipped up a batch to test. I have to say, I dont know why I spent the money for the premium. The throat hit nick is just as smooth as the premium, havent tried them both unflavored side by side yet, but I think it will be a wash.I recieved a couple litres of nud armour in april and november of this year and put in deep freeze without trying any. I thuoght it would defeat purpose of buying the armour if I opened and tasted it. Regardles to say, ther has been some discussion as to the taste being off recently on the Nude Nic, and now am wondering if I made a mistake not trying it. Has anybody have an opinion on the recent Nude purchase.

Dixie, If you don't get TH, then it's imho because you don't inhale properly... If you wanna experience TH just as a test, then take a draw and keep the vapor in your mouth and then suck some fresh air into your lungs so air and vapor gets drawn into your lungs. I simply mean, take a draw, take driptip out of mouth and then take a breath in, through mouth... Or, a small direct lung-inhale, where you vape like you're using an asthma inhaler i.e. breath in through the drip-tip, not sucking vapor into mouth but directly breathing in/inhaling through drip-tip.

Some people, like my sister, don't inhale properly when used to smoke either and don't experience TH either...

Of course i'm not telling you how to vape/inhale, but it was just meant as a help to try TH, since you stated to have asked before about your missing TH... And since you don't normally rely on it, then i'm pretty certain that you won't like it either, but just to test it, if you want

I imagine that Acetyl Pyrazine smells like Acetyl Pyrazine, but what does that smell like if one has never smelled Acetyl Pyrazine , Just curious.

If you are familiar with the snack food "Cheeto's" , AP smell's exactly like that , i do not get that smell at all with VaporsTek "TH" though .

I am still reading this thread.
Why?
I have nic for 10+ years, I am not planning to buy it anymore.
Still reading...

Why are you still reading , i can answer that . It's because you desperately want verification that all the nic you bought was the right move to make thats why.

It's "human behavior" 101 lol, even when we know the answer to something we often find ourselves asking that question to see what other peoples answers are , does it make sense ? Nope , but we still do it .

If you hear others saying that the brand of nicotine that you already bought is great you will feel even better than you already do , not that you plan on buying any more.

I bought a liter of Nude Nicotine recently ( within the last 4-6 weeks) and it was excellent. Additionally it was substantially more than a liter. Filled 2 500ml bottles to the threads and still had enough to fill 2 10ml bottles.

Yeah "NN" gets excellent ratings and had a great sale recently.

I've not smelled it(PA), but people usually state PA to be nutty-like, and that note is in pretty much all nics, especially after bottle opened/closed a couple times to introduce oxidation...

 

[Dixie1954]

Like I said "most" would not taste what I taste in the VT TH nic lol. I do not feel a need to try for a TH but ty for explaining that after 42yrs of smoking I was doing it wrong. As far as I know - there is no wrong way to smoke or vape. I should have added that many would not be able to detect the AP smell either. But just imagine that the thing you could not stand the smell of was in 50-75% of the flavorings you would have liked had you had a choice - can you now understand why I can smell it more than most? As usual YMMV
(I forgot to say NN is my go to nic for using with flavorings - I just wanted to see what all the hype was about the VT TH nic, and I really like it all by itself.)

I know what people mean when they say they are smelling AP when they describe nic but that is not how I would describe it. I would describe it as smelling like raw tobacco, almost woody. I worked in the tobacco fields for years growing up (broad-leaf, under the nets) and when I smell nic. I get that smell you would get from the stems as we snapped leaves off the main plant. To me there is a very subtle nut compound in the background but not like the kind I get from AP, more like a chestnut. Then again, maybe that's just me.

I was not in anyway referring that you were wrong in your ability to small "AP" in some nics , i was solely commenting on my perception only.

 

[Dixie1954]

Oh my not to worry I was teasing about the smoking wrong comment and you did not write that. I just thought I could have explained it better by the example I gave?

 

[schatz]

Thanks for the replies on the Nude nic, I feel a lot better now about purchase.

@Capt.shay - There's a meet and greet happening now at Bay State Vapor in Auburn.
It's the Awesome Show New England Vapers crew. @upStomp is giving away free crap.
I'm heading down there now.
I know you're out in herderland but BSV is just off 290 close to The Pike.

...VT TH has minimal TH and NN is great too <~~~~~for on topic content

 

[Yiana]

I have nn, mfs, and now I shall buy vt th. Thanks for the recommendations. I was on the fence about vt th.

 

[mhertz]

Dixie, I didn't say you didn't smoke or vape properly, but that you imho didn't inhale properly, which to me is a fact based on if not experiencing TH ever. Inhaling or not, is obviously a personal preference and I specifically made a point about not any specific way being better than others.

You stated that you had asked about this repeatedly before(TH) and hence, I suggested a way to try it out for yourself. If you weren't interested, then why ask...

Sorry if being a little sensitive If it sounded like I was stating you where doing things wrong and that you should change, then I apologize and for sure didn't meant it like that whatsoever!

Capt.shay, thanks man! I know exactly what you mean; woddy/chestnut Chestnut!!! Now why didn't I ever think about that great comparisson! Spot on! I just assumed PA where like that too...

Thanks Mowg. Unfortunately that is an hour plus each way for me. Afraid I'll just have to stick a dollar in my pocket and head over to the usual Tues. night gig. Thanks again for the invite

Gots to know your flavor profiles if you are going to be a good cook!

It is Acetyl Pyrazine AP.

 

[Rossum]

Uhm... "AP" is commonly used on this forum to refer to Acetyl Propionyl. Maybe we should avoid confusing two things by using the same abbreviation for both of them?

Sorry mates!

Nah, I'm good with it.
