Hmm, I don't know.. I went from 24 mg to 5 mg liquid and I haven't noticed a drop in TH. I've also started DIY and I use glycerine like a crazy person. I use as much glycerine as PG now a days, so that could be a factor.
Hi,
The higher the nic content, the stronger the TH. Unless you are using either 5v, 6v or 7.4v then you need lower nic as it produces the nic like a 3.7v device with higher nic..
Also, if you can't use high nic, put in a little bit of vodka which does help with the TH too.

Depends on the juice, some do keep their throat hit very good even if you lower the nicotine, but generally the more nicotine the more throat hit. I personally always use 11mg liquid to make sure there's a throat hit. Don't waste time and put vodka for a throat hit, it doesn't work : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/22081-how-get-throat-hit-zero-nic.html
Are you saying that you get more nic at higher voltage thus the more TH? That the absorption rate changes? I find this interesting if true, I know I get more TH but attributed it to the warmer vapor. Is there information on this? TIA
No no, it's not about the absorption rate.
The more nicotine, the more throat hit.
The higher voltage, the more throat hit.
Let's say you need 24mg at 3.7 volts for a good throat it.
If you go with a 6 volts PV, you'll only need 12mg to get the same throat hit.
(these are just examples!)

So is it the warmer vapor then? That was the other question. The way stubear62 explained it was confusing with the "produce nic". I get that you need less nic to obtain TH but is that because of warmer vapor, or does the warmer vapor in fact help rate absorption?
I dunno, I don't own a high voltage PV but that's a good question that I'd like to know the answer
I see what you did there........trying to slide one by the goalieI dunno, I don't own a high voltage PV but that's a good question that I'd like to know the answer
Greetings Mammoth!
I find, and this is just my own experience, that there are no hard and fast rules (or even a general rule) that determine the amount of th. I believe it's a combination of factors, and imo, the main characters in th are the pg/vg ratio and flavors, and nic level plays a small role.
I'm a 45-yr smoker but I don't like th...the softer the better for me. That's why I vape juices as close to 100% vg as possible. Prior to this month (have mixed all my juices down to 18mg for this month), all my juices were 24-25mg nic and had soft th (some, like Cignot's 25mg Chill has no th at all).
I also have a bottle of 36mg w/ a VERY soft th. Early on I had a sample of 18mg juice that had me coughing on every inhale...tried a friend's 12mg that was too uncomfortable for me. So if nic is the main factor, why did my 36mg have waay less th than my friend's 12mg? Her juice was 80/20 pg/vg.
You can also get strong th on certain flavors at 0 nic, e.g., members have said TV's AC has quite a kick at 0 nic. At the same nic level, my spicier flavors have noticeably more th than the mild flavors.
Again, unless someone has a rational explanation for the above, I'll hold to my original statement that th is determined by a combination of factors, but the main characters are the pg/vg ratio and flavors, and nic level plays a small role.

From what I gather, menthol flavours will put out a bigger throat hit at lower nic content than most, and you can perk up the throat hit with lower nic liquids by adding menthol crystals.
