Nicotine level directly influences throat hit, the higher the nicotine the more hit you will feel generally.
Well, higher PG can also contribute to more TH as well. Don't feel stupid! Everyone here at one point most likely had the same question!
I know I did. That is how we learn.
OP Throat hit is also increased with higher voltages and lower resistance. MOAR POWERRRRRR!!
PG only affects TH because it lets flavor, nicotine TH and nicotine irritation through best. PG by itself has no TH.
So the same exact brand, flavor and nicotine (greater than zero) juice in 80PG/20VG will have more hit than the same juice in 50/50 or higher VG than PG.
And heat can also increase the feel of nicotine's hit so a big battery device with LR cartos or attys will get more hit out of the identical juice vs an ecig with standard resistance atty or carto (all slim ecigs should use is standard resistance)

Don't ever feel stupid asking a question. We've all been there and asked many of the same questions. You never know until you ask. I've been doing the a year and I still ask questions.
Now, I have to ask a question. I have read all of these phrases before, but I vape 70/30 PG/VG at 24 -30mg so I have high PG and high nic --- but no TH. I am using a weak device - a standard 650mah Ego with pump carts and 2.5 attys. I vape about 2 - 2.5ml a day... I am assuming that I am not getting TH because I am not vaping at 5V or greater???
The eGo is a 3.3V device. You would get more throat hit from a 3.7V, 4.2V, 5V, etc. device. You could also switch to lower resistance attys, such as 2.0 ohm or lower.
Try the Smoke Tech 1.7ohms. It's the only way I can get throat hit from a 3.3v ego. You will sacrifice flavor for throat hit though. They're also called Ressurectors by some vendors.
While that may hold truth .. The Ego coupled with a DCC 1.5ohm can produce some SERIOUS TH/Vapor. *blows a few clouds*
Try dual coil at 5v volts. It will make a world of difference.
Apart from nicotine and heat, TH depends upon the surface area being heated. The larger the area heated, the greater the amount of liquid being vaporized.
Don't ever feel stupid for asking a question. Remember, if you don't ask a question, then you have increased the probabilities of being stupid.
TH has to do with all the things these folks are saying. And, as one post pointed out, you can decrease flavor by improving TH. Increased battery power, LR cartomizer or atomizer, and PG based - high nic juice are things to keep in mind.

The way you draw can also change TH. If you do the whole plug it in your mouth and suck for 4 seconds thing, and then inhale, it will be different than a 1 sec puff, and also different from a direct pull into your lungs. So experiment how you actually get the vapor to hit your throat. Try quicker inhales and slower inhales, and longer pulls--maximize the vapor in your mouth before the inhale. You can also try slower exhales for a chance to get another TH form.
Aside from PG, you can also add a few drops of PGA (everclear) to your juice, and that'll spice things up. Experiment, before dumping a ton of PGA into your juice.
I have an ego and use LR cartos from altsmoke (don't remember exact ohm but at most 2.5), and I use 50/50 pg/vg, and I've never have had a serious problem with TH. Then again, I also typically vape high nic content (30/36).
