That sweet sting ... where does it go?

[polsmoka]

So I have the most kickass juice I have found in years. I can vape it all day happily. Doesn't make me feel like I've had too much and doesn't leave a long aftertaste, doesn't leave my dry mouthed etc. etc. just heaven in a bottle. I'm not sure if anyone else finds this but it is a very sweet juice and what happens is first hit of the day (or if I take an hour or so off) is the first few hits have a killer throat hit. Not a harsh burn but a sweet sting that is somehow still smooth that almost makes my eyes tear lol. After a few hits then that is gone and it's just sweet smoothness. This isn't an issue of vaping gear because this is with tanks, carts or dripping

So the question I have is does anyone else find this with certain juices? What is going on is it like a shock to the throat and sinuss and the body maybe releases something to block the sting?

What are you vaping?

I would say your body might acclimate to the TH. I noticed this with menthols.

I can vape it all day and not feel a strong TH. But if I vape something else for a couple days then go back to menthol it's harsh at first.

You mean like the first head explosion of a good horseradish on your prime rib, then never getting that same head rush again for the duration of the meal?

I get the same thing. Very harsh the first few hits in the morning, then it tapers off the rest of the day. I was thinking maybe the PG/VG sort of coats your throat through the day, but gets absorbed as you sleep, so when you wake up there's nothing to buffer the TH.

Just my guess.

Heh great analogy!

Fray the interesting thing though is it isn't harsh to me at all. I have had harsh. Harsh hurts my lungs. It's just as I described, a sweet sting lol.

This being said I barely inhale into my lungs I am much more of a frencher.

1949 Katie it's Sweet Ice Cappaccino.

Perhaps overnight the juice has time to wick well into your atty or carto.

Nope thats not it, like I said if I back off for an hour or so then it's back. I think indeed it is a question of the mouth/throat adjusting. Just wandered.

Nicotine causes desensitization, meaning that you basically get a tolerance to that sensation. There's actually also "cross-desensitization" with capsaicin (hot peppers) and things like smoking analogs or eating spicy foods can cause permanent changes in your senses over time. If you chain vape, your body never gets the chance to regain its sensitivity to the nicotine. Trust me I know it is hard, but if I put down the PV for an hour or two I get the feeling again.
