Alright so there's a few of the 9 flavors I got that just don't cut it on the throat hit when I cut them down to 18mg from 36 with VG anybody have any tips on increasing this? Grape and apple are lacking as well as the red bull and ry4 but in the 36 the throat hit on all of them is fine if not too much. I know VG reduces throat hit but what can i do to make it work out better? Would cutting with pg instead produce a better throat hit?

Most people suggest adding vodka or pure grain alcohol (like Everclear). Higher proof is supposed to give more kick, so the 190-proof stuff works well.

Switching VG to PG will make little difference, at the expense of losing a LOT of vapor. Try the alcohol.



If you're crazy you could add a little hot pepper juice...

That, as well as, adding a menthol crystal to the mix. Spikey taught me that little trick a few months back, so when I do mix up flavored juice, I always add one crystal to my mixes. :)

i dont like menthol as a flavor, but a little in a juice makes the world of difference. i put all my crystals in a 6ml bottle, covered them with everclear (just enough everclear so they all dissolve) then add 2-3 drops to a 6ml juice, you dont taste the menthol, but you get a little more kick, and the flavor comes alive.. its like salt for juice :p

Interesting. I've had menthol crystals on my list for a while now, but haven't lately ordered from any place that sells them. I may have to find something else to buy...

Scottes...I have them if or when you rder again let me know and I'll throw you in some N/C

What was your order #?
OnlineOrder_00001083 customer named "Newkirk" (believe it or not), but I'd already received the shipping notification email before seeing this post. Order arrived the next day (yesterday), was all-PG (125ml+60ml) and no 20ml. :( Oh well. Great deal on quality product anyway.

OK, thanks. Question: Your comment about 60%/40% above - was that because you're sitting on a supply premixed in those proportions? I'm going to be ordering 60mg/ml again soon, was going to request all VG, but if you're holding an excess of 60%VG then that would be OK, I'd just request that instead of 100%VG.
