This should help explain allot of your questions with regards to throat hit a.k.a "Impact" in the tobacco biz, and why some solutions with the same nicotine density can have different throat hit "Impact"

Thanks for the link Stephen. This is a link to the full paper and some quotes:
The sensory attribute most associated with nicotine is described within the company as 'impact' . It may be described by consumers as throat catch, throat hit, throat grip, etc. Our definition of impact is : the sudden sharp but short-lived sensation (typically less than one second in duration) which is noticed immediately the smoke makes contact with the back of the throat . A physiological explanation of the impact sensation is that nicotine causes smooth muscle to contract . The contraction is proportional to the dose of nicotine applied to it. In fact, the relationship between the applied dose and the magnitude of the contraction is logarithmic, but for all practical purposes, the more nicotine the stronger the contraction and hence the impact sensation.

That definition suggests that zero nicotine eliquid cannot produce a throat hit.

This is the problem with us all talking about different things when we say throat hit. The researchers in the study mentioned say that it's to do with muscles contracting in the back of our throats that makes a tingling. Some people have described it as harshness and some as volume of vapour.
I suppose it all depends on what you mean by throat hit, I'm sure you can get harshness and heavy vapour with zero but the muscle contractions are to do with nicotine apparently.

I suspect that a small (trace) amount of oil is good for the atomiser in that it stops it from becoming completely dry and helps stop deposits building, much as a little oil in a frying pan helps cook things without burning and sticking. Just a thought.
BTW, anyone tried a pepper oil yet ?

Note the acetic acid (vinagar) but the much larger amount of alkali (ammonium hydroxide) as a 'Flavor Processing Aid'.
Wonder what ANGELICA ROOT OIL tastes like, and if anyone could really taste anything at a concentration of 0.0001% !

i vape DIY liquid with lorann and flavourart.it flavors.
i get with almost everything a hit for some time now,maybe it is something to get used to.
btw.
to define throat hit, i mean that feeling in the lungs that something is there,when i inhale...
i'm sure there are more. i have only tried 4 from lorann so far,and the first 2 are the strongest one. choc hazelnut has more like a liquer taste than chocolate, and vanilla.... well... i could only taste the butter...
butter rum
mint chocolate chip
chocolate hazelnut
vanilla butternut

IMO you left off the main cause of throat hit (temperature of the vapor) thats why a new battery, new vaporizer, 5V usb/batterypack, and direct inhale give a stronger throat hit. If all the other parrameters are the same you still get a stronger hit if you can get the temperature hotter. If I drip the same 901 same liquid with fresh bat= light hit, with usb 5v 500ma = med. hit, with usb batterypack 5v 1000ma = hard hit.
