Alright here is my opinion: throat hit has become less important to me compared to flavor and vapor. I prefer "smooth" but find that most of my friends are really into the TH, I do not understand this. It is, to me, more of an irritant than something I enjoy. Now granted when I first switched from stinkies I ran away from tobacco flavors and have just now started to get back into them. But for me the smooth is the winner and again for myself that equates to minor TH.

So here is the question, how do you rate TH as importance to your vape experience compared to flavor and vapor?

Mine has changed over time. Although I think for me flavor and vapor were always the two main things. Now I really like a smooth taste. I have gone to 50% VG instead of my usual 30% as an experiment and so far have liked it.
I think TH is a big factor for lot of people. First vape of the day I used to want a good TH.

i dont pay much attention to the TH. unless what people call TH is actually that mid chest hit that the analogs used to give me. im more into the flavors now as well. a juice can have a ridiculous TH, but if it tastes like my boots, im not gonna vape it...haha
for me, juices with too much TH, just burn out my throat, which hinders tasteing the flavors.

Throat hit is very important to me. I've only been off the stinkies for a couple weeks and the throat hit that I got from them was the thing that I craved the most. When I wanted a cigarette, I wanted one because I craved the throat hit, not the nicotine. That's why a cigarette was always so satisfying after a meal or a milkshake. For me, it's the same way with vaping.

as someone who chain smoked hard for a long time it doesnt have to feel harsh but i have to feel something. now with rebuildables the vapor clouds are so thick and and big its just a given so im happy, when i first started the cartos were working nic wise but i couldnt feel anything and it made me look for better, once i found it i was set.

Thank you all for the responses, it is just a curiosity thing. I deciced to mix some pure VG juice and even to my "it is not important" opinion I found that I was really hitting the vape (even gave myself a bit of head-buzz), seems that I require it also :blush:
So I think a 50/50 mix is the sweet spot for me. Some flavors mimic TH but I think I am chasing the lower nic juice that satisfies me. Don't take me wrong I like nicotine, just though it would be a good idea to reduce the amount. How about adding to the original question with how important is the nic to you? For me I started at 36mg/ml and am now pretty regular with 12mg.
