Throat hit without the nicotine?

[KnittingEntropy]

Does anyone have any tried and true methods?

I searched the forum and was unable to find threads, but surely there have been some? Can anyone point me to them?

The throat hit doesn't have to be the SAME, just needs to exist.

I have found adding Koolada to my mix seems to give me the bite of nic. If you decide to try it, less is best

The first time I tried it I went overboard and it was totally unvapeable. Just 2 or 3 drops per ml works for me. JMMV

Ooh, thank you! Do you find it works best in conjunction with menthol flavors?

menthol or peppermint, spearmint, etc,,,,,otherwise, nope,,,,,,,zero throat hit without nic,,,,,you get used to it,,,,now I can't even handle 2mg of nic,,,,,

YW. Not really. I keep one juice delivery device filled with my 50/50 no nic/no flavor juice. The koolada seems to do the job all by itself.

Malic acid gives a little TH. You can get it at DIY juice shops already dissolved in PG. Also used for tartness and adjusting pH.

sounds like I need to try bunches of minty flavors then. Thank you!

 

[KnittingEntropy]

Cool! Thank you, I'll give that a try!

 

[KnittingEntropy]

oh excellent, thank you!

We are all different. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for someone else. I personally do get what I consider Throat hit by adding koolada.

I'm sure that's possible, but we're allergic to it here,,,,both DD and myself,,,,,odd but true Instant asthma attacks with the blasted stuff,,,,,,

but you are right, everyone is different.

I'm sorry to hear that it is so bad for you and your daughter. That really sucks. I think some venders go over board with it. The first time I used it it took my breath away. I decided that there was no way I would ever try it again. Fortunately another DIY'er mentioned that it should be used in moderation. Now I love it.

I've heard great things about it from others,,,,I think we're just sensitive to it,,,,,,,but it might be a good option for the OP.

Just ordered Koolada and Flash as reccomended in this thread and another... and a more tobacco-ey flavor that's less overwhelmingly sweet, I think that was part of the issue too.
