I have read on ECF of a ground black pepper extract made with PGA that can add throat hit. I have not tried making any as I use a high mg nic base and my throat hit is more than satifactory. I believe that it was made in a 1 to 4 ratio of pepper to PGA. It was allowed to steep and then run through a coffee filter to remove the pepper. Claims were made that it did not induce a pepper flavor, but I don't see how that could be. And maybe the throat hit came from just the PGA?

I've always vaped 0mg nic and have noticed the throat hit varies a lot with PG. Try using more PG, and like another user said, a few drops of PGA is said to help.


Using PGA? I know this is a dumb question but would that be like random Vodka that I might have here? Just like putting a drop or two in my Clearomizer with my ejuice?

I am desperately looking for a throat hit on zero mg nic -- coming down (directly) from 18mg to zero. Its horrible :(

JMHO but form 18 to zero nic is too much too fast. You could add alcohol drops, menthol, etc but it's gonna be rough. It's taken me 1 1/2 yrs to go from 36 to 2 mg and I just wanted the ride to be comfortable and, more importantly, successful.

I have to be nicotine free for elective surgery or they wont do it. :( trust me as soon as the surgery is done Im going back to my fave yummy french vanilla 18mg vape :)

When you say alcohol drops do you mean like standard alcohol that you drink - like clear vodka or rum?

Thanks for your help :)

Oh I see and I'm sorry. Yes vodka because it's clearer and cleaner than Rum. Menthol and high PG as menthol is a throat irritant. Friends and I tried these "throat hit" products about a yr ago and all they did was make out throat sore. Not sure and can look into it tomorrow a.m. but I believe nicotine vacates the system with 48? hrs.

Thank you -- At this point I'll take sore throat over no throat hit :(

I have researched tirelessly on the nicotine in the system thing. You are right, it leaves within 48 hours -- however the medical industry is really clever and tests for "cotinine" - its a byproduct of nicotine that your liver metabolizes - this can stay in your system from two weeks to over 30 days.

I absolutely cannot wait until about May 15th when I can re-vape my yummy stuff. ...sigh :(

Thanks for your help, I might try the vodka thingie.

I had to lower my nic due to high blood pressure problems and felt it best. The best thing that's helped me achieve a great throat hit using 8 mg nic is that I DIY using Natures Flavors organic alcohol based extracts with 100% VG nic base. The alcohol in the flavoring thins the juice nicely and I get a real decent throat hit still. It's the only thing that's worked for me and I tried alot of approaches. I was also told about adding flash to juice to get TH but never tried it. You can google it. But seriously the organic alcohol flavorings were the trick for me.

You can do 15% of the cake batter for a nice taste, or add a little blueberry or caramel to it also. I also do the blueberry at 15%. And my all day Vape is 18% vanilla cream with 2 % caramel extract. It's so good. The bubble gum extract has been hard. So far even at 10% it's been too chemically. I will try maybe 7% later and see how that works.
