I like a medium Thoat Hit that I'm trying to match up to my analog days. My problem is I'm hooked on Smooth Criminal right now and it's a little smoother (less throat hit) than I'd like.

I'd like to try a good TH without any nic to find out the results.

Which ratio and mg do you get? I was vaping it today and thought the TH was decent. But, yeah, it is surely smooth. ;)

I've been vaping for about three months now. I have dropped my nic from 36 to 12mg and there is a definite difference in the throat hit. I'm almost afraid to go any lower because like others have said, "I need to feel like I'm inhaling something!" I don't necessarily need a mule kick to the chest, but I need to KNOW that something is going into my lungs. Taste and visual are only a part of the vaping experience for me.

I need a pretty strong pinch to feel satisfied, anything under 24 is typically smooth vapor to me. 36 makes me feel a little strange. So im stuck at 24. Lots of various flavors seem to mute the TH on me too, and i find only select few eliquids that kick enough to satisfy me. Some juices taste great but they just make me chainnnn

I am still a bit of a newbie. Just over a month without a single real cigarette :2cool: But I NEED a good TH. Maybe because I am still in a position where I need to feel like I am still smoking but not??? Not really sure. Have some issues with my set up in getting that perfect TH, but going good for now. I have 4 different clearos going, some give a better TH than others, trying to figure out the perfect one for me before I buy more.

From my experience and from what I have read from others, clearos have the weakest TH from an equipment standpoint. I've found that atomizers and cartomizers both provide a warmer vape and a better TH. Of course the prime driver for TH is the nic level.

Is that the reason we started vaping, anyway? So the sensation of smoking with out all of the bad stuff and cost?

The TH and Vapor production is part and parcel. Otherwise if we just needed the nicotine, the darn patch and gum would have been enough. But they weren't.

I need my nicotine. It's helps my mood and concentration and keeps the rage under control. Vaping, with the flavor and TH, satisfies me and I dropped those cigarettes so easy it was scary. I was going to be one of those emaciated cancer patients with oxygen mask on and a lit cigarette in my hand 8-o

TH is certainly a priority for me, especially in the morning with coffee. For that I go to higher nic, like 30 or 36 mg. after that, i pretty much stay with 24mg menthols until evening when enjoy fruity vapes. I think that a 70/30 ratio between PG and VG is perfect. If anyone here likes menthol like I do and want a kick-a** TH, try subzero from Halo. It will kick your ....! LOL
