Now I need a little more throat hit.... Never satisfied!

[julbug75]

So I just got some new juice, 50/50, and LOVE the flavor (mmm, mmmm Rootbeer float) of the first one I've tried. The last all PG juice I was using had a pretty hard throat hit and gave me a slight headache; this juice doesn't have enough throat hit, but, no headache (smiling). What can I do to increase the TH? Anything easy? I would mix the old juice, but it's cappucino flavored....

Try slightly upping the PG - maybe 65/35?
There are posts on the DIY section as well that might help you - those guys have lots of good tips

Try ordering a mix 70%PG 30% VG. Most say that the PG gives a better throat hit. Although I personally get hits that make me cough when I smoke my banana cream pie flavor mixed at 70%VG 30% PG

If I get a bottle of PG all by it's lonesome, and mix it in, will I compromise flavor too much?

Can't help you there. haven't gotten into mixing my own yet. Sorry

I'm new to vaping, but in my forum searching I have found that people have been using 151 or everclear and that it does increase throat hit. Like I said, I'm new and don't know much about it, but I would recommend you try mixing a few drops at the most with your normal juice.

Plain PG will dilute your flavor (its like adding water to OJ) but by how much I couldn't say - maybe if you try adding a teeny bit at a time it might be less of a risk but theres going to be SOME lessening in flavor with a plain PG.

What voltage are u vaping at?

I agree. What equipment are you using? Jumping to a bigger battery or a low resonating atomizer will produce TH and clouds of vapor. Sometimes at a lost of flavor though.

Just to clarify because I'm seeing this expressed this way more and more lately.

It's just the semantics but... PG doesn't give more TH than VG. VG *robs* TH more than PG does. IOW, if one was to vape straight PG, there is no TH whatsoever.

An e-liquid flavoring that is 100% PG as compared side by side with an e-liquid of the very same flavoring that is 100% VG, the PG based will produce more TH, in most people's evaluation -- certainly in mine.

When it is expressed that "PG gives more TH" it implies to the newbies that adding PG to an already mixed e-liquid will increase the TH.

I use freedomsmokeusa's hypnotic mist (in the tobacco section, but I don't find it to be tobacco flavored) in 36mg 70/30 to pump up the flavor and th of other juices. So far, it works with everything from pina colada to spearmint to just ramp everything up and make it "bigger" tasting. But I just saw a post about someone who uses unflavored 30 or 36mg juice for the same purpose.

Thanks Shanagan -maybe I will try that!
