Throat Hit

[Tinkiegrrl]

The nicotine is what creates the throat hit unfortunately, so you'll need to increase it to get it. Also, more PG and less VG seems to let the nicotine come through more. VG kind of softens it. Don't toss the 6mg bottles you bought. You can either use it to try and step down again later, or you can buy more in the same flavor but with a higher nicotine level. Use the 6mg juice to dilute the juice with the higher then needed level of nicotine.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I was a 2 pack a day smoker and now I am a constant vapor. I even find myself pulling out my e-cig at work when no one is around...I'm just waiting for a customer to complain! I guess I need to try a higher nic level even though I thought I was adjusting well at 6%.

Unfortunately the nicotine level in which the body requires will differ from the TH desired. On the side of luck though you can remain at a level you need yet adjust the TH by the equipment used i.e. power levels, juice, coil resistance etc.

I guess the thing that confuses me is that I smoked my last cigarette almost 4 months ago and it just seems to me that I no longer should need the extra nicotine.

By the way is there any way on this forum to tell when you have a reply to your thread?

Yes go into "settings" then click General Settings, then scroll down to email notifications, then email notifications to threads.... you should use the choice in the box "email immediately"

It's a common misconception. The truth is, the Throat Hit is, for certain personality types, one of the most addictive factors in smoking and vaping. As I mentioned, if I can't have a solid throat hit I don't want the vape, so inspite of the fact that I've been vaping for several years at this point, I vape 18mg strength and have absolutely ZERO plans to change that. Now, some people think nicotine is some horrible evil nightmare chemical, and that they want to get away from it as much as possible. It's just a mild stimulant and vaso-constrictor, and having a nicotine habbit, in absence of the incredibly addictive MAOI alkaloids found in whole tobacco(not to mention the carcinogens released from burning them and additives added by the cigarette companies), isn't any better or worse than having a caffeine habbit. I don't feel any more guilty for enjoying nicotine than I do for enjoying coffee, and I don't view it as a problem to be corrected, or something that you need to "step down gradually" on.

If you do feel that nicotine cessation is your end goal then you just need to get in your head right now that living with no throat hit is just the way it is.

If you can relax about the nicotine issue and throat hit is important to you. Well, nicotine is throat hit, and you know what you need to do.
