The Throat Hit Chase...

[Mr.Mann]

If you are like me then you love throat hit. I am willing to say that throat hit (for me) is almost more important than flavor. Of course flavor has to be right (no chemical or perfume taste), but without the throat hit, what is the point? I am not excited to just see vapor and taste flavor...I NEED that sensation!

Along with throat hit, I also love what I call "chest kick" or "chest punch". That is that feeling after inhaling where you get that deep fulfilling chest feel/fill. I like spicy food, hard drinks, and other hard hits; so my juice has got to deliver. I just found a juice that gave me a whopping 10 out of 10 in throat hit and chest kick.

Enter Ms.T's Red Hot Cinnamon (14mg). I got it today after visiting Great Lakes Vapor. Jay (the creator of the GLV) suggested that I buy this juice. I was a bit skeptical because I only vape 14-18mg (anything higher makes me a little spun) and most juices are only decent at that nic level. But, after I filled a Boge 3.0 and put it on my Provari at 5.4 I had my boots and socks knocked off!!! Let me tell you, this juice woke up my senses in a major way. My tongue got lit up, throat was hit, and my chest received punch that made me put my unit down. This is not a juice where you (I) have to hit it multiple times to feel something! If you like hard hitting juice and like/love or don't mind cinnamon, then grab this juice!

I would like to know what juices make your list of hard hitters. If you vape at 36 or even 24mg I am pretty sure it is the nic that is providing the majority of TH, but if you can vape at or below 18mg and it still kicks, then you know it is the JUICE! However, feel free to post whatever does it for you and what nic level along with pg/vg if available (MsT's is a proprietary blend).

I look forward to everyone helping to get this list going...


*Note* I have had juices at 18mg at high voltages that have minimal if any TH...

Nuthin hardly hits like cinnamon!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Are you saying this is going to be a very short list? I hope not. But hey, I am loving this. I actually make a holy **** face after hitting it...LOL

I think different eliquids like the cinnamon, which probably has pepper in it, does not create true throat hit but instead throat irritation. To me, throat hit is 90% nicotine strength and warmth of the vapor from a good 5 volt or variable volt PV. I definitely want to feel a good strong throat hit but NOT a burning sensation. I've tried every additive talked about on ECF and none provided true TH to me or to most others who I've talked to.

But I do know that some vapers love that burning feeling from pepper based eliquids, which is great that they are available. I just don't view it as throat hit or as I call it the "inhaled feel" of the real thing.

I read something about adding a little everclear or strong vodka to VG juice for TH? Anybody ever tried that?

 

[Mr.Mann]

Maybe it is due to my other tastes? Either which way you do make a good point, however, I have had higher nic levels at the same voltage that don't deliver. Now, the "burning" (as you put it) could be a bit much to others, but to me it does not irritate, but it does hit. It does not mimic the real thing at all, but then again I always found that to be quite irritating and nowhere near as exhilarating as vaping this or any good liquid.

wv2win I appreciate your insight .

Many have tried that. From my own experience and most of the posts I've read from vets, it provides hardly any difference at all.

Thanks!!!!

here are the hardest hitting juices ive tried:
-vermillionriver KPB
-alien vision bobas bounty
-back woods brew applewood
-nitelite vapors bounty hunter also hits fairly good.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Hey,

Thanks for replying and your providing a list. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to get any other suggestions (which would've sucked!). What are the respective ratios of pg/vg and what nic level have you used.


p.s. Isn't Alien Visions Bobas Bounty like the worlds most talked about 100% VG juice? Isn't that kind of contrary to what vg is supposed to provide? I am interested now though...

 

[MikenGA]

Mr.Mann, Although I really, REALLY LIKE Alien Visions juice...and although many people swear by Bobas Bounty, it ain't MY favorite. I'm working through a small bottle right now (24mg), and my main complaint is it doesn't seem to have any throat hit. Maybe my batch is different from what other folks are getting, but it seems pretty 'soft' to me.

Just so you know, I'm NOT a fan of a really strong throat hit, but I like your description above, and I DO like feeling my lungs 'light up'. I've found nothing better juice than a cinnamon base for that effect.

HOWEVER...I placed a new juice order this week (3 different vendors), and noticed something that might interest you. I have NOT tried it, but Ares ecig has a "Throat Hit Enhancer", and you can find it at the following link:
ARES Throat Hit Enhancer (3ml Bottle) [ARES-TH-ENHANCE-3ML] - $2.99 : ARES, eliquid

As it states on their website: "Ever had an eliquid you really liked, but it just didn't have the throat hit? Try our Throat Hit Enhancer. Please be aware that this is powerful stuff and only 1 or 2 drops are needed for a 10ml bottle of eliquid."

$2.99 for a 3ml bottle.

Also, in case you like tobacco flavors, I really like their "Sweet Tobacco", and just bought all the 12mg they had left from the Atlanta Vape Meet (February 18). They still have two bottles of 18mg "Sweet Tobacco" from that Meet, and it's currently on 'close out' at $6.00 per 10ml bottle. I would LIKE a bit more throat hit, but I love the vapor and flavor as is.
If interested, you can find it at the following link: Closeout Eliquds : ARES, eliquid


If you try that Throat Hit Enhancer, I'd LOVE to know what you think.

Good luck!!

You can also get some more TH by using Koolada, sold by The Perfumer's Apprentice. Just add 1 drop per ml of juice. Gives everything a nice kick. Bluemist Vaping also sells something like it called "The Chill Factor".

 

[Mr.Mann]

I can't thank you all enough for the tips! At this point in my journey I pretty much use this site for all info (ecig related). I no longer use vendors websites to sell me on much without throwing a line out to you all.

 

[melloyello]

the liquids i listed off were all 12mg. yes, it seems contradictory that a 100% vg juice has good th but in my case, its rather strong, stronger than many many other 12mg liquids. typically i prefer 70pg/30vg...which i typically get. maybe its the peppery taste that gives the th sensation.

and btw, the "throat hit enhancer" is nothing more than 100% PGA

 

[Kemosabe]

i like where you're going with this. i am a fellow TH fanatic. if the juice aint gots the TH, i dont want it. it has certainly been a challenge finding the right juices. ive found a few, but the hunt continues.

i suggest:
-Bounty Hunter. its delicious and provides ample TH.
-Halo - Prime 15. this juice has an awesome TH. and the flavor is magnificent to boot.

those two are my fall-backs. i do love other certain flavors and will continue to vape them because they have just enough TH to keep me coming back. but when i need a strong kick, i can always rely on BH and Prime.

sadly, i dont think id enjoy the MrsTs juice you recommended. cinnamon is just not somehting i want to be vaping. i can only handle it in small doses.

this confuses me. i find that bounty hunter hits quite hard, yet bobas bounty is like air to me. i cannot for the life of me get any semblance of a TH from BB. its sad too bacause the flavor is delicious. KPB and Applewood are already on my short list of "TH juices to try". im glad to see the notion that they have great TH reinforced.

here are the hardest hitting juices ive tried:
-vermillionriver KPB
-alien vision bobas bounty
-back woods brew applewood
-nitelite vapors bounty hunter also hits fairly good.

 

[Kemosabe]

my guess is that the TH enhancer is 100% PGA. i read a thread not too long ago about a different vendor sellign TH enhancer. the OP followed up with an email from teh vendor stating that it was 100% PGA. and @ $1/ML of PGA... itll cost a lot less if you just buy some Everclear.

[Mr.Mann]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But, I do know for sure everybody's body reacts and accepts things totally differently. It is more than just subjectivity IMO (when it come to TH), because I can objectively say that something does or does not give me a sensation.

Thanks for responding Kemosabe! I am definitely going to try your suggestions!

p.s. What nic level do you use with those juices?

 

[Kemosabe]

MrMann- i might have a few more recomendations once i get my order from QuickNic. the word is that all of their jucies have an above average TH. some folks recomend going with a lower than normal nic (!) this was music to my ears. i naturally went with the ones reviewd to be the strongest of the strong (with higher than my normal nic, just to be safe ). Enigma and French Toast were the top two recomendations in that category. i have high hopes. will report back next week.

 

[tj99959]

Some flavors like Cinnamon and citrus (lemon or lime) produce their own kick, which is not in reality TH.
I also find that chasing TH is a lot like chasing your tail. I can up the wattage until vapor starts coming out my ears, and the TH will still slowly diminish. So once in a while I will lower the power and let my taste buds reset. Strange how good a flavor can taste when I do that.
