Like others have said, higher nic, higher pg level, and if you have an adjustable air hole play with that and move it to diff positions.
My supplier firecrackervapor.com got me started and has a juice he perfected for over a year, it's called firecracker. It's similar tasting to red hots. It definately gives you a throat hit. That's all a lot of my family and friends use. If it's too strong, you can use apple firecracker, which has a mild apple taste. I use a protank2 on my mvp and I also have a mini protank 2 and evod batteries. I am kind of new to vaping, only 1.5 months or so. I just got my mvp last week and started re-building my coils with cotton....yum
The biggest variables for throat hit are nicotine and pg content. 100% WILL have a throat hit but not much smoke, VG makes the smoke. I like 60-70% PG
The lower ohm gear makes stronger/thicker vapor, which helps contribute to the TH, (correct me if I'm wrong here, guys) it's heating the juice faster and hotter. From my own experiences, there's a big difference between 2.5 and 2.0 flavor and vapor-wise - and my limited experience with 1.8 is it's even better.
Edited to add - you may want to upgrade to an Ego Twist or Vision Spinner, with adjustable volts - you can dial in the flavor and TH with them, the batteries that come with the EVOD kits aren't as good - and the Spinners last a lot longer on a charge. I know the EVODs perform really well on them.
Or, bite the bullet and jump to an iTaste MVP or any other VV/VW mod (with adapters for the EVODs), most of us end up there eventually.

Yes, the upgrades keep coming. I've only been into this for about 2.5 months and I've gone from Halo Triton, to Vision Spinner's to itaste vv v3's, and tomorrow my MVP will be here.
+1on more lower resistance coils (1.8) PG & Nic = more throat hit.
Also to the OP, there is always DIY if you can't find a juice you like. That is the problem I was having and have been doing DIY for a little over a week and I don't think I'll ever buy premixed juice again. It's not hard and once your initial investment for supplies it out of the way it's real cheap.

I know the experience; I started with cigalikes too and they were good enough to keep me away from the old cigs, but the cost pushed me on. I got some clove right now; was hard for me to find; good flavor; most of us probably have alot of 10 ml bottles of eliquid that we bought but didnt care for the taste when we tried it; that does seem to be a common experience.
2.5 ohm is standard.
The coils do get clogged up and may need wick;
the cigalike are like a prebalanced blend put together for you; when you buy your own tank and put on volts and your using a particular coil, you got to balance it all out with the right eliquid yourself. As for no throat hit, the only reason for that I think is if you bought 0 or low nicotine strength (like I do). That part puzzles me

Geez Billie -- UPgrade??! I literally just received my Evod 2 days ago! I think I will give it a try before ditching it!
Nope -- no way - 18mg is already too high for me -- I was content with 11mg prefilled cartos that I loved...
Upgrade to a something that is VV, or VW. If that is not an option, maybe try picking up a lower resistance atomizer head for your set up. something around 1.5 or 1.8 ohms should increase your vapor production. Don't get discouraged you'll find a juice that suits your throat hit and taste needs. I find a get a nice throat hit with johnson creek vanda, which is a vanilla flavor at 18mg nicotine level.
When your ready get yourself a dripping atty and go for a straight lung inhale, I find this gives the best all around hit and nicotine satisfaction.

i should b getting my stuff in today or tomorrow...finally. read good things about halo liqids. got some 24 mg pipe tobacco flavor thats supposed to hit pretty good. i will let u know when i get it.
ya definitely try halo. winston red smoker and throat hit is pretty nice. they have a holiday special too, free 10 ml bottle of some pretty decent menthol stuff with every purchase. both hit really well but the vapor is still pretty smooth.
I've never heard of this! The tasting bars around here use 18mg juice, since A) it's one of the most common strengths and B) people want to know what it's going to taste like when they get home. I do agree that it limits your ability to sample, though, as you'll start to feel sick if you try too many in a short amount of time.
I hope you find what you're looking for, Leslie! Don't give up the search - sometimes it just takes a little trial and error!
18mg nicotine and 80pg/20vg. If you don't get a throat hit out of that, I would try a different source for juices. I'm always pushing mt baker vapor. I swear I don't work for them lol. I'm just amazed by their juices, and have a whole drawer filled with them.
Keep in mind that there are many other factors involved as well, but I would start there.

I haven't gone through all the replies so if I'm repeating someone else, please excuse me. I just watched a you tube video this morning and the guy mentioned that about as month or so into vaping people suddenly can't taste their juice and that it lasts for a week or so. He suggested trying cinnamon or menthol for that period and it will return back to normal
Update: I got some 1.8ohm coils today - and what a difference! I am actually getting quite a throat-hit (which I like) from a 50/50 blend...I'm still not thrilled with the liquids that I've chosen so far, though...
I live in San Diego, where Vapure is based.
I have been to their storefronts and tried many of the liquids.
They all suck. No throat hit for the most part, and only the chocolate cake icing was tolerable to me.
I think this post will be deleted, but I have to say it anyway.
There are literally THOUSANDS of better liquids out there.
