So i'm not from the US (from the SEA region) and only smoked menthol analogs.
When i vaped my very first US juice (unicorn milk), i choked, coughed, spat, and drank tons of water because my throat felt dryer than the sahara desert.
Is the throat hit for unicorn milk really that high or am I just not used to US juices?
Same thing happened to Twelve's Scorpio juice :<
Did a test amongst my friends and pretty much everyone had similar reactions.

Is there anyway to reduce the throat hit? I did try steeping and breathing (about an hour a day) for a couple of days but the throat hit is as strong as ever.

Halp plz? :<

What nic level are you vaping at? Also what device are you using?

Throat hit is effected by multiple things nic level, vapor device, PG\VG ratio, and some flavors can all effect it.

Unicorn Milk flavor for me did not add any hit and has set PG\VG ratio, so that would narrow it down to nic level and equipment

A high nic juice in a .2 ohm dripper is going to have a good kick, but add that same stuff into a Aspire Nautalis and it is much more subdued

Hi Pouf im from southeast asia countries i prefer US juice compare to the juice in my neighbour country as most of the juice contain menthol feel which i dont really like. I had try twelve vapor series of Aquarius, Saggitarius, Gemini and Capricorn. Their liquid indeed had throat hit and my colleagues cant stand it too they were coughing and choking when they exhale it ( The same reaction when they tried my vape bartender , alloy blend , schwartz liquid). You may tried to use a 0.5ohm and 25-30watt to vape while pressing your fire button for around half a sec to let the liquid heat a bit. So far i had being doing that when vaping twelve vape. For Cuttwood liquid i tried the birdbrain which the throat hit is far greater ( when i use 0.15ohm on crowm tank) i mix a bit of grape menthol liquid to make it diluted abit and it taste quite gd actually. Hope this help

Another thing to consider - All nic is not created equal. Some vendors' nic will be overly peppery and harsh; some will be noticeably smoother at the same nic level. If you haven't tried ANML (Carnage and/or Looper), you might give them a shot - I find both flavors to have a very mellow throat hit, even at 6mg, which is normally more nicotine than I can stand.

I usually mix my cuttwood unicorn milk with a malaysian strawberry juice to lighten the throat hit and increase the strawberry flavour. When using unicorn milk as it is I read a trick was to raise the wattage, which i did to about 40-50watts and it was surprisingly smooth.

That being said, I did steep and breath my unicorn milk for a couple of hours so maybe the throat hit has been affected. I also vape unicorn milk with a dripper so the juice beforehand sort of mellows the throat hit. With my Twelve Scorpio on a fresh wick, the throat hit is still harsh at 40-50watts, it also causes unicorn milk to produce the same throat hit when used directly after.

Guess the only way to go now is blending the US juices with something more mellow? Any recommendations as to what goes well with Twelve's Scorpio lemon tart flavour? :)
