I think of TH like the "ahhhh I just took a drag of a cigarette after 3 hours" feeling. I look for TH and it's very satisfying but find it doesn't happen enough of the time. First vape - great, second- ok, after that nothing. Same with flavor as well. I am worried I am going to start craving analogs after 19 days of being free 
from what I have learned after showing my VP to about 20 friends is that only about 2 or 3 of them first time users will actually like the throat hit, smokers are broken down in my eyes to 4 types of smokers...
1.) you smoke full flavor, something harsh like Reds, you are probably smoking 1-2 packs a day.
2.) you smoke mediums, little less, but your still smoking 1 pack a day or more
3.) you smoke lights, much smoother on your throat but you most likely smoke under a pack a day
4.) you smoke ultra Lights, to a Red smoker its like smoking air
Now what everyone keeps forgetting is that the Flavor of the cigarette does not mean safer or less of anything, which is why now it seems like they have done away with these names.
Depending on how strong you like your flavor, and how many cigarettes you smoke in 1 day will point you in the right direction on if you will like a heavy throat hit or a more mellow on. I smoked under 10 cigarettes a day for about 7 years, methanol lights, and the juices with the Heavy Heavy throat hit, it hurts my throat ( big whussie) and i use my VP less, So think about First time users of the general public? should we only talk about the Sizzle? Last time i checked their were millions of people trying to quit and not everyone will like this heavy throat hit.
What I think has happened is, the truly passioned e-smokers that have gotten us to this point has so much knowledge and research behind their belts, they overwhelm a first timer and don't always give them exactly what fits best for them. I am trying to change that.

Throat hit is great for some and some don't want it.
I wanted it, as I was a Menthol smoker. And you gets
lotz of TH with a menthol.
When I was smoking, I saw many a friend borrow a cigarette from me
and then end up nearly chocking to death! (non menthol smokers)
Too much TH for them.
And yes, in agreement with quix...it's the fizz or burn (kinda) in the coke...and again
some people don't like coke, but love Root Beer....(no burn going down there)
I love TH myself and want that coke as well.
By the way, Welcome!

I used to be a Marlboro Reds smoker. Then each time I had an extended hospital stay, I had to go to lighter cigarettes because the old ones were too harsh for me. So even though I ended up eventually on Ultralights, I was still a 1.5-2 PAD smoker and I did get TH every time from Ultralights. However, I don't think they would have enough TH for my boss who smokes Marlboro Reds.
Even I have some trouble finding TH from e-cigarettes. But I do need that to feel satisfied and "done" having a vape. I don't want to vape constantly so I need to feel "done". It's some combination flavor, aroma, vapor and TH and without the TH I never feel done.
That said, not everyone needs TH. Plenty of people are happy vaping tasty cream and fruity flavors with little TH. If I did that I would never stop.

Yup, Rudy.
For me, TH eclipses both flavor and plumes of vapor.
A few tactics that have helped...
* Raise the Nic level and reduce the number of hits per session/day.
* Lower the VG ratio in the juice.
* Lower the flavoring ratio in the juice.
* Don't drink directly before or while vaping.
I know what an analog throat hit feels like and it is desireable to me but
I don't really get it with the cart juice that came with my 510. The little
bottle of high strength tobacco flavor juice doesn't hit the throat like real
smokes do either. That said, my first vape of the morning nearly kicks my
... with a wicked throat hit. Is that what you were refering to Rudy33?
Does anyone else get this morning ... kicking or is this just what newbs
get for a while?

Exactly what I was referring to.
Thanks for the tips. I smoke menthol and if I lower the VG then the menthol doesn't have enough sweet and tastes like mouthwash. I will try raising the nic and see if that helps.
Welcome to ECF.
I agree somewhat. I tend to like the throat hit is because it feels like i am "doing" something. Like the exhale of the vapor. If you take a hit and hold it for just a few seconds you get little to no vapor, but i would think you get more nicotine. But the exhale just reminds me of the analog days.
Just my view on this and i am not sure about the "getting more nicotine by holding your breath for a few seconds".
I personally take 2 hits at once. I take one hit and then as i am exhaling that one through my nose i am drawing a new one into my mouth.
aye, texasg. burn baby burn.
have had best luck with high nic coffee flavors for that kind of smoky finish.
and yup, gotsteam.
mornings continue to kick best.
menthol, rudy?
tried it but masked the TH for me rather than enhancing. best of luck. all fun.

You can also add grain alcohol or even vodka for more TH
hmm - at what ratio is a good starting point. Will that make the juice to thin for dripping?
I've given a hardcore smoker friend of mine a hit off my ego (w/20mg juice) and he nearly hacked up a lung. throat hit? YMMV.
Good man! I am new to this and you hit the nail on the head.
While I am getting the impression there are few manufacturers, the experienced e-smokers make it sound like rocket science.
It is simply hard to know that the DUO is the 808 or the de8981 whatever..........
All I can say is, I need a heavy duty solution. I am in category #1 (3 packs a day etc etc) and can't be playing games. Any help appreciated.

From all the reading I have done, the 510 is going to have the best throat hit, if you are an extremely heavy smoker like I was you should probably look at 30 or 36 mg juices. Menthol helps a lot, I smoke one of several 30 mg tobacco flavors mixed with about 1/3 36 mg menthol. Works for me.
I think I'm pretty clear on what throat hit is, and yes it seems desirable - and to varying extent for different smokers.
What I'm missing from the e-cigs I've tried is the "head hit" - (head rush) that comes with a cigarette. Like especially first cig of the day, in the morning.
Are there any models or e-juice that can produce this, or is it just something that only regular cigs can provide?

Not that I've heard of or run across. Nicotine from vaping is absorbed in a different and slower fashion than from burning tobacco. Add to that the fact that there are many other chemicals and processes going on in your body when you're smoking that aren't replicated in vaping. There are some good threads elsewhere on the forum that go into this in depth.
