Hello,

I need suggestions from those of you that have used High Voltage Kent. For some reason this juice gives me an awesome throat hit! I have tried the following HV juices...Viriginia, 555, BlackRasperries, BlueberryCrumble, and Cherry Coke, however, none of them hit me like Kent does. Are there any other HV juices that are a tobacco flavor and pack a punch like the kent? Thanks!

I am surprised that no one else has commented here. I am curious also about a tobacco flavor with a strong TH. I was wondering if anyone has tried virginia in 24mg. I wonder if it hits stronger than the HV?

I have an order on the way that includes both HV and 24 mg Virginia. I will post what I think of them after I try some.

Sorry to say....I have never been super clear on the meaning of "throat hit"....:confused:. To me it either "vaporizes" well, or it does not. So, I won't be able to include any truthful info about the "throat hit" quality in my review.

This is the best way to describe the throat hit...for me anyways. I draw for several seconds and fill my mouth with the vapor. Then I open my mouth and suck it all at once into my lungs. An instant burning sensation immediately hits my throat.... it's almost enough to trigger a cough, but not quite. There is also a lung hit some folks speak of. It is where you can feel the vapor filling your lungs. I get both of those needs satisfied with HV Kent. However, it is the only juice I have found that can accomplish this. I would like to have a variety of juices that work :) Just last night I made a mix of 75% HV Kent and 25% HV Virginia. It's not quite as harsh as the Kent alone, but I do like the flavor of the Virginia in there.

I think this is the best description I have read...now I think I get it. I guess that is why they say "some" people want that quality. :)
I like the nice tobacco flavors w respect to ejuice.
I never smoked a "real" Kent, but I did once smoke a "real" camel (not light or ultra light); I only ever smoked ultra lights, unless I "had" to smoke something else. I bet people that smoked full strength cigarettes in their "smoking days" are the most likely to really want the "throat hit" experience.
It gave me something to think about though...you have to ask..do you vape for the flavor...just to fill the void left by smoking (hand to mouth)...or what? I mean, people that like a throat hit obviously want to "re-create" that experience....for the sole purpose of the experience - since it will in no way affect the amount of nic they get. For example, I noticed that after about my first 2 weeks of vaping...I would not take my ecig w me when I went out and about because it seemed like to much trouble and I didn't miss it at all. This was never the case w analogs. Sooo....it makes ya wonder - why do I vape at all, then?

Exactly. I have smoked Camel for 30 years. So for me, it's all about the throat hit. I am actually vaping 10-12 mg juices which is a lower mg than other folks. Seems most prefer 24mg or higher. So, that tells me it isn't the nic I need as much as the throat hit and the act of smoking itself. I am also a stickler for vapor production. Otherwise I don't feel like I am getting the whole experience. For these 2 reasons, the High Voltage Kent is the perfect juice for me :wub:

I have always envied people that could pick up a cigarette just when they drink, etc and leave them alone other times. I have been smoking since age 12 and unfortunately am not wired that way, lol.

    Cherice, I just tried some 24mg 555 that I accidentally got from Drew instead of 555 menthol. It does not have a very strong tobacco flavor to me but I am getting a good consistent throat hit when I vape it. I regularly use some 555 menthol but don't get the same TH from it. You may want to try a sampler of the 555 on your next order.

    Well, I WAS going to tell you how the 24 and 12 Virginia worked out...I had ordered both...a big 12 mg..and a sampler of 24....unfortunately I only got the 12 mgs in the Virginia. I can tell you that I enjoy the taste and the vapor quality of the 12 mg Virginia...I could easily vape this whenever I feel like a "smoke" throughout the day. The Camule taste and "vapes" almost identical to a "real cigarette" - I think one could achieve a "throat hit" w Camule.

    I definitely agree on the taste of Virginia. The HV in this is great. It doesn't give me the throat hit that Kent does, but it does have its place. I have been mixing the two lately and quite enjoy it...
