Throat hit or Lots of vapor?

[rsngfrce]

I've noticed that a lot of people will rate an e-cig based on the throat hit you can get from it, while others rate an e-cig based on the amout of vapor it produces. Neither is wrong, it is a personal preference and I'm wondering how it breaks down. No choice for neither or both, you have to choose one.

While I appreciate throat hit, I get much more satisfaction from a lot of vapor, so I consider that more important.

I have to have lots of vapor - it's the act of blowing the "smoke" that is an important part of my oral fixation...

Now that I've given every male who reads this an unforgettable mind picture...

VERY EARLY... but I'm surprised so far with 0 for throat hit and 7 for vapor... based on things I've read I'm expecting throat hit to win. Maybe throat hit fans are just more vocal...

I'd like both

But the thick clouds of vapor is part of the reason I'm not trying to chew tobacco or chew a piece of gum.

My JOYE306A produces vapor like my analogs used to produce smoke. That makes it's satisfying in an almost nonsensical way but it's cool.

Also, "throat hit" is something I can do without. I like the smoothness of the vapor.

There have been at least three different definitions of throat hit on the forum. There's harshness, vapour volume and contracting muscles in the throat from nicotine.

I like the vapor..the throat hit can get annoying sometimes while lots of vapor is always cool to watch.

My experience is that as vapor volume increases, throat hit decreases, but maybe that's just me and my Pilot...

Thats the same thing that I've noticed

If there is no throat hit, then it isn't even close to the real thing, IMO.

After using the same juice for a few days the hit is gone for some reason.

Yeah..it works that way for me too. I have to mix up the flavour every 2-3 days to avoid it.

Constant throat hit would make these things perfect. I vape 36 & still after 2 or 3 days nothing

I wonder if this lack of hit is to do with tolerance to nicotine. Constantly using the same dose reduces effect, you have to have breaks for blood nicotine levels to reduce. That's why the first smoke of the day has the best effect, tolerance has reduced overnight.

Funny you say that Kate me and my brother (tone ) were saying that the hit in the morning is soooo good.

Weird result so far. I literally couldn't care less about vapour. If I did I'd use glycerin on it's own, loads of vapour, zero feeling.
I for one never watch myself while I'm using the e-cig, to see how much vapour is being exhaled. Why would anyone?

throat hit , throat hit , throat hit , i'll take decent vapor with a good throat hit , over clouds of vapor with no throat hit

I agree Grimm.....It seems that Totally Wicked produces less vapor than,lets say,PS Cash....But definatly has a better throat hit...I do love both though!The Wiz!

 

[eulogy]

I chose throat-hit because in the videos I've seen of people vaping, so much more vapor is produced than what I see from when I smoke an analog...

Wv--could have not said it much better myself----all this vape is for the birds-nice show effect, but does nothing for that hit we so desire----Sun

Throat hit. I haven't seen a post mentioning this, or maybe it is considered part of the throat hit.
Nose hit. I find myself "french inhaling" quickly, then exhaling through my nose. Sometimes it gives me that analog feel, that feeling of volume, that snap of ...I don't know, mass-density-solidity? Maybe it is more psychological, or the response of nicotine hitting the brain.

I still smoke an analog first thing in the morning, just have to feel that burning plant material surging in me.
