Throat Hit without raising the Nicotine???

[titanflyer]

Hi all,

Been vaping for over a month now and have gone hog wild with it. I love the act of vaping, and since I work from home on a puter all day, I am vaping almost constantly. So, I need a way of lowering the nic level I am taking in, but I need to keep the throat hit up as its what is keeping the cigarette demons at bay for me.. well, that and vapor, but I can add VG for that.

Is there a way to increase throat hit while lowering the nicotine levels? I would really eventually like to get rid of nicotine, so would love to figure out an ingredient that would do this for me. I have seen walrus' video where he added hot pepper juice or something, and thats not for me. I was thinking less of the burning tissue type of throat hit.. possibly vinager???

If anyone knows how to implement this white elephant of vaping, please let me know.

James

im not a vape vet yet but i'll give it a shot.

pick a mintier or really good strong menthol flavor. it might just be me, but i get a better throat hit from this weak menthol i have now than i do with my High nic tobacco flavored juice.

Is there a way to increase throat hit while lowering the nicotine levels?

Yes. Manual switch and higher voltage. Both produce warmer vapor and yield better throat hit. Many users report they have dropped nicotine levels with the use of high voltage vaping (HVV) devices, in particular.

Look into a device with a manual button (like a 510) or one of the new advanced battery packs (Super T1, Prodigy, AdapteveR, Silver Bullet, Screwdriver, etc.). Some of these devices can run at higher voltages and all use a manual switch. The advantages of the latter devices are inexpensive replacement batteries, better battery life than a typical e-cig battery, sealed for those who prefer dripping, different adapters available for different atomizers, reliability and durability.

Adding VG will reduce throat hit, nicotine, and flavor while increasing visible vapor. Some zero nic juice added might do the trick.

Hey guys, thanks for the fast answers...

I have tried menthol flavors and while they do give a great flavor, I don't get the "caught in the back of your throat" hit that 36mg nic gives me. I have ordered some menthol drops from JuicyLiquids.com and have heard they can bring the kick up. I also LOVE TotallyWicked's menthol. I just don't want to have to vape menthol constantly to get that kick... might have to though.

I also have been working on creating a collection of devices that will get me what I am looking for, but again, don't find they offer what I need. I currently have screwdrivers, a 510, a usb passthru (it does make it warmer and a little bit more throat hit) and am waiting on a PureSmoker passthru and a Super-T1 that I have ordered. Also have started to work on my own mods... see where that goes.. lol.

Check this link
iquitt.multiply.com (I can't post ULR since I am a new member)
They are Thai supplier and they claim that they and china manufacture together have develop ZN (zero nicotine) e-liquid that has a throat hit similar to high nicotine but use only 0.8 mg nicotine. It can only be available in tobbaco favour. I will get the shipment by this week. I can let you know if this work after I try it. Or it you may try to contact tham to find out.

Here's what I'm thinking of trying:

* Liquor-- maybe 5% or so of brandy or whisky

* Spice flavor-- cinnamon, clove or ginger, or a combination of these.

* Sour fruit flavor-- lemon, lime, cranberry

* Citric acid-- Fruit Fresh might do it; try adding a saturated water-based solution.

You didn't say what nic level you are at. My norm is 24mg,but I'm trying to cut mine too. I tried some 16mg from Diet Smokes the other day called Texas Praline made by LiquidXpress. The throat hit was stronger than a lot of my 24mg & even some 36mg that I've tried. It also tasted real good.

Some great ideas there... I have some Cabo Wabo Tequilla that I might give a shot on... lol.. might actually do it. I tried vodka just now and it does give a kick, but funny enough, its not on the inhale, but the exhale..

Thanks.

I am probably being a bit paranoid, but you might want to watch how much extra voltage you are putting through an e-cig when you are using VG. That stuff can be dangerous at higher temperatures. If you up your voltage, it might be a better idea to cut with PG.

I've read somewhere that putting liquor in your mix increases the throat hit, but have not confirmed it for myself yet.

Sorry, I started at 36, went to 24, and now I am mostly vaping 18mg from Eastmall. I also just got some flavorless from Eastmall and TotallyWicked and some from JuicyLiquid and am going to start mixing my own. I have experimented a bit already. I really would like to make it to 0mg nic, but we will see.

You need to mix some chilli and PG, then add some menthol crystals.

The chilli gives a very good throat hit.....

Won't the beans meat and tomatoes get caught in the atty? LOL

What kind of chili do you mean? Chili powder, or actually putting chili juice in the mix? Guess I need some explaination... sounds painful though...

try maybe cutting with VG. 50/50

also pick a mintier or really good strong menthol flavor. it might just be me, but i get a better throat hit from this weak menthol i have now than i do with my High nic tobacco flavored juice.

i havent actually done any cutting with VG yet, but i have seen tons of video's on youtube doing video comparisons of the fog density and it seems pretty substantial

VG will give you the extra vapor, but will cut down on the hit.

one way i can get pretty much every strength and flavor of smoke to hit my thought is the manner in which i inhale it. Instead of taking just the mouth drag then huffing the mouthful down, try opening the back of your thought and using your diaphragm to suck the vape directly to your lungs, skipping that momentary stop in the mouth and going straight for the lungs. I hope that makes sense. Basically by doing that i can get one hell of a thought hit!

That is of course unless as a noob im totally missing the point of the thought hit, which i am totally willing to admit to.

I haven't tried no nic but lorann's butterscotch has had the most throat hit for me at low nic

 

[titanflyer]

I tried a few liquors in my mixes to see what they do... I tried tequilla, vodka, and scotch. Tequilla just burnt my lungs out, scotch gave it a great taste, both of these thinned out the liquid so much that it was almost unusable though. Vodka seemed to do the trick. Can't taste it, but mixed with VG and some blueberry and then some brandy loranns flavoring, it gave a good hit on the exhale. Almost choked me it catches so well, but as I said, only on the exhale.

I will keep trying, but quite honestly, I think will giive up on throat hit being my main attraction and start concentrating on flavor and vapor. That is easy to do. I am looking for a gallon of USP 99% PG somewhere and will start making my own flavors with no nic. I also can add in 36mg no flavor to taste and wheen myself off of nic eventually.

I mixed some cinnamon and spearmint with VG.. The problem is that something in the mint oils cloud VG. Gonna try the Vodka starting tomorrow. I started at 24, cut to 18 and am now cutting the 18 in half (menthol is the only one that could handle that transition). Gonna try cutting some other flavors once I make a trip to get the vodka. I find that the throat hit is absolutely necessary for me to feel like I'm doing anything at all. Using straight Willots, thick as molasses so hopefully won't thin out too much.

 

[MaxUT]

I have some Cabo Wabo Tequilla that I might give a shot on... lol.. might actually do it.

You gave me an idea. I've got some Patron Anejo tequila that I could try mixing with TW 36mg unflavored, VG and Lime flavor.

¡Salud!

I was just about to suggest vodka or grain alcohol. Sorry I am not of much help.
