Ok eight days analog smoke free. I quit the first time I tried my dse901. That was after 33 years of smoking over 2 packs a day...

Now the problem I get no throat hit with nothing less than 36mg nic level. Using marlb 36 mg nic I get that throat hit every single drag. But nothing on other bottles I have tried with less than 36 mg nic.

No negative side effects using such a high dose of nic level. So I guess that is fine and dandy.

I have read their are things you can add to get better throat hit but the info is very incomplete. I have read vodka..lemon juice. Has any one had any luck adding anything. I hate to throw out all this new e-juice.

Thanks
Rick

If you can tolerate it, I find that mint or menthol adds to TH for me. I moved to VG lately. That seems to give little TH, while the PG/VG mixes have much more.

What exactly are you using and from who?

Incidentally, you can probably find some mint extract in an alcohol base at your local supermarket in the spice section if you want to try it. I'm sure someone will come by and advise against it before it is over. Opinions vary over what one should and should not use.

Yes, I have read vodka, or everclear as well.

Do you have Wyatt Earp yet? Mine is 24mg and its one of the biggest TH's I have in the box. I would also make sure you are using 100 percent PG.

Yes tried wyatt earp 24mg from freedomsmokes usa...nothing and winston 30mg from freedomsmokes usa. I have also tried marlb 24mg nothing. I have used two bottles of marlb 36mg and I get that throat on every drag...no effort

Thanks

I noticed that too. Just got a few bottles from FSUSA today, including a sample of 24mg Wyatt Earp. Tastes amazing, but absolutely no TH whatsoever.

In my experience I found I had to change my PV. I initially tried a 901 and it felt to me like I was sucking on a ultra light or air. I could get a throat hit with higher nicotine but it would result in headaches etc from the nicotine. I changed to a 501 and had a little more success, but not much. Then I purchased a kr808 and found that throat hit and hot smoke I needed. I don't deny that adding menthol or mint, more PG, or some PGA also gives additional throat hit. However just thought I would add it could also be your PV.

There are 3 in my family vaping and nic does have something to do with TH in my opinion. Is it that you want to lower nic or change flavors and still get TH? Menthol, cinnamon and fruit flavors are the best TH IMHO. But if you want TH at a lower nic level I would say go with Cinnabomb from Vapor Bomb at 80%PG and 20% VG. I have found that VG is great for vapor but puts a damper on TH. I love alot of FSUSA flavors but the specialties are 50/50 PG/VG and I find not much TH in that combo.
Good luck! You will find what you are looking for it may just take some time and effort unfortunately.

One more thing- are you aware of the correct technique to vaping? It is so natural to try and smoke the vape like a cig by inhaling into your mouth and then to lungs. But if you can inhale directly into your lungs I think it helps TH.

I ordered winston 30mg nic from freedomsmokeusa no throat hit using a dse901. I think (???) the problem might be is it is a 50/50 mix pg/vg. From what I read around internet I need a higher pg. Maybe 75/25 ? I am on my second bottle from a local guy (uniquecigs.com) 36mg nic marlboro flavor it hits every puff even a small puff. So it is not my e-cig. I have an email into that seller asking what his pg/vg ratio is.

I cant direct inhale and feel anything. In fact when I try it I cant even get vapor. I am direct inhale challenged apparently.

Throat Hit can be based on a number of factors: The device, The atty, The voltage, the pg/vg mix. While the standard thinking is more PG = More throat hit and more VG = more vapor, some claim to get decent throat hit from 100% VG. A fully charged battery gives me better TH than one that is about to start blinking on me. A 50/50 mix of some flavor gave me great TH while the same mix of others gave me almost none ( but tremendous vapor ) Its really a crap shoot based on everyones experience and desired result.

As far as devices go, I get a much better TH from my 510 than I got from my KR808 or my Blu ( my eGo is currently in shipping limbo hehe ) But others swear by the kr808 ( no one swears by the Blu )

Some claim that a few drops of ever clear or vodka added to your juice will produce more TH, but I have yet to find a post saying exactly how much to add per ml, one drop? two? five?
