Throat hit with 50/50 3mg juice

[LightMyFire]

Hi there e-cigarete-forum family, im just a feller trying to quit smoking, i tried many times but i really can't. So im planning to buy a GeekVape Aegis Boost Plus with rba, but i really have few questions really messes up my mind.

Problem is the throat hit comes from nicotine mostly, but the thing is, i don't really want to take mg's like 6-9-12 mg's for that, because i don't wanna get addicted to the nicotine, i just like the vapor, and also i don't want to experience any nicotine od, which im really scared of it.

Is it possible to get any throat hit with 50/50 3mg juice with a MTL device? Probably a stupid question to ask but i just wanna learn the truth of it, thanks to y'all!

You can try nicotine formulated to give you more of a throat hit, menthol or mints, cinnamon if you can take it ,increasing PG if your setup can handle it and there are various additives that will offer "throat hit' although I have never tried them and I don't know how well they work.

Best of luck,

I don't know how much u smoke and if the 3mg nicotine will be enough for you for start....I don't know why u worry for overdosing...but ok
U can try first 50/50juice and see how it is...and then as already being mentioned u can increase the pg percentage of your juice....and try flavourings that give throat hit...
I started with more nic and decreased it after a while....cause if u vape and don't get your nic fix then u gonna start thinking that a cig would be nice to smoke....
At least for me that was the case when I tried to lower my nic fast...
Gl man....u can do it...vaping rocks

I can't remember exactly but I came across some additive mentioned on this forum that increases throat hit without extra nic

One thing I'd like to say though. For most vapers starting with higher nicotine straight after quitting smoking and then cutting down is perfectly normal. I started MTL at 18mg, even DL I would use 12-14mg initially. I'm down to 3-5mg in DL and below 10mg in MTL. And it will go down further.
At 6 or 9mg and mtl I highly doubt you'll OD on nic, unless you vape 2 devices simultaneously

 

[PeterKay]

And one thing worth considering- using too weak nicotine straight after quitting smoking is often considered as a mistake and also often results in failing to quit. Or becoming a double user- vaping and smoking. I've been there myself 3 years ago and failed to quit. Only when I started using higher nic and more powerful devices in May this year I was able to quit completely. Haven't touched a cigarette since May, and for the past 2-3 months I haven't even thought about smoking one.

I know your feelings on throat hit.

My smaller devices like the Voopoo Vinci Air or the Vaporesso PM80 SE are all running RBA heads and I have almost all of them: Mechlife, Yathvape, Vaporesso and Voopoo originals, etc.

From all the RBAs I would go to Yatchvape for adjustable true MTL or Mechlife for tight DTL.

Liquid wise and for throat hit satisfaction, I prefer to use a bit of menthol and/or coolada on my 6mg 50/50 liquids. The satisfaction I get is spot on and if I lower nic to 3mg or less I don't really fell much diference.

Stay safe.

Throat hit is more about higher nic levels or a juice flavor that is in the cigarette flavor range. Higher PG levels will produce more throat hit. 80pg/20vg was my starting point years ago. I bought a lot of cigarette flavored juices early on and finally settled down with 50/50 pg/vg DIY juices that yield a light throat hit.

Flavorart Cowboy is a flavor with higher throat hit. I vape that sometimes when I want the throat hit and flavor of a cigarette.

Welcome to ECF @LightMyFire.

I switched from smoking eight years ago on a MTL device at around 5 - 7 watts using 18mg liquids. I found that when I chain vaped for a while to get through cigarette cravings I would over-nic myself and start feeling queasy and would stop vaping for 20 - 30 minutes until that passed. There is nothing dangerous about it, it just feels a little uncomfortable for a bit. After it happened a couple of times I watched for it if I vaped a lot for a while and would be able to back off on vaping before it became a problem. After a few months I had weaned down to 12 or 14mg and then it didn't happen nearly as easily.

I now make my own juices and mix 100% PG with around 1.8mg nic. All my juices have some menthol in them. I mix it strong enough so I get a noticeable throat hit like effect from it, but not strong enough to drown out the other flavors. Menthol, 100% PG and a little nic on a rebuildable atomizer at around 9 - 11 watts gives me enough TH to satisfy me most of the time. I also mix up a little of each of my juices at 18mg so I can drip a drop or three into the atty (through the drip tip) for the occasional TH boost when I feel the need.

If you are buying ready made juices you can buy two nic concentrations of the same flavor, say 12mg and 3mg, and then you can mix those two to make any nic concentration between 12 and 3mg. This is how I started weaning down. It becomes more important to be able to fine tune nic concentrations the lower you go.

Best of luck with it, and let us know how it goes

Simple generalization:
Above 12mg nic = good throat hit. Below 12mg = light throat hit.

You can try all sorts of other tricks that mimic throat hit ..... but it aint throat hit!

Han Lic figured that stuff out for us a long time ago.
