I would say it's one of 2 things. One, its possible that what your feeling is a slight flooding and after a few vapes, the flood is gone. Flooding , at least to me, feels close to TH, but slightly irritating, but it is very sharp in the throat. Also it can simply be after a few vapes your just use to it and in the morning your throat is fresh, so you feel it more

this has been happening for a while, but after I vape for a couple of minutes, my TH completely disappears, and I need to wait 1 hour for it to come back, plus when I wake up in the morning,
that's when the TH is the strongest.

It's interesting that your TH completely disappears, as opposed to just reduces.

A little more info would probably help us a bit. What atty are you using, what watts are you running and how much nic is in your juices?

I agree with @vapdivrr about getting used to TH and not noticing it after a while as much. The same happens to me sometimes specially when I vape a lot, but I don't loose all TH after a couple of minutes. Another question ... do you chain vape?

I am using a pod system "Vladdin RE" I was using 18mg for a while but I switched to 12mg a couple of weeks ago, I used to chain vape, but I don't see the point in it now since the TH disappears to quickly I just wait couple hours so the TH comes back, P.S i said since the TH disappears quickly, by that i am not saying it didn't disappear before

Full disclosure, I don't use pod systems. I'm sure folks who do will see this thread soon and help out. I do have a couple of thoughts though for whatever they are worth :)

Nicotine is the biggest factor in getting TH. Your reduction in nic level will contribute to less of it. I know you said you experienced the same effect with the 18 mg liquid, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

If you are buying filled pods I suspect they have nic salt in them instead of regular nic. Nic salts has less TH. If you can refill the pods with regular nic juice you will probably get more TH, but I don't know how much closer that will get you to acceptable TH over time. All you can do is experiment with it and see if you can find something that will work better for you. There is nothing wrong with staying with more nic while you are quitting smoking. Quitting is IMO much more important than to reduce nic levels.

The other thing is to just vape less often, or for shorter vape sessions, so you don't get acclimatised to the TH as much.

Best of luck with it!

I do short direct lung drags when the throat hit wanes. What the heck, aint no throat hit sensation anyway. So the direct lung kinda gives the nerve endings in my throat a break and the extra production stops the urge to chain vape.

Say it takes you about a second and a half to MTL, just vacuum it that long and skip the sucking on a straw action. Took a little practice, but I have 2 devices that were so smooth the throat hit was missing and now I short DL those for a change of pace.

Might work for you, might not.

I got refillabe pods, and no I don't use salt nic, I'm not in it for the buzz just TH.
you know some website allow you to customize the liquid from nic to salt nic and different strengths, I could try to buy 50mg non-nic salts.

If you were previously doing 18 then reduced to 12, why would you say rocket to 50? I'm personally a TH junkie and vape 24mg regular nic and it's pretty awesome. I however use mtl rtas and never have lost any TH feeling. Could just be something that is specific to your throat and no matter what you do, it's going to be that way? Have you tried another device? Perhaps this pod is just lame?

I was using a koopor primus 300w, the same thing happen, but the TH was stronger but lasted the same time, idk might just be me, but hopefully not.

Drinking through a straw requires two motions. Draw in liquid to your mouth then swallowing. Same goes with a mouth to lung inhale except you draw into your mouth then inhale.
Direct lung vaping is like breathing through a straw. One action.

So it happened on this pod and the same on the device before? I guess it cant be the device, so it must be something that is specific to you....did it happen when you smoked?
