As long as I have some sort of sensation (a good menthol sensation, a throat hit, a lot of flavor), then I'm good.

But no, I don't vape more. If I'm not getting the sensation I want I up the wattage. Lower resistance carto or higher voltage. I also make my own juice and have been known to spike juices with some more nicotine.

I don't really need the throat hit, I need to see the vapor lol. I do get a bit of a throat hit but I also love the pop and sizzle of my tanks lmao.

I was beginning to think I was all alone. :) I never even really got a sensation of throat hit, and don't care about it one little bit. I too need flavor and vapor, and some nic so I don't go on a murderous rampage but I am weaning it.

Obviously we are the minority though. That's OK, I like to be different. :D
 
For me it depends, and sometimes the 'depends' can be on the same same setup and juice - how you inhale can make a difference in how much of a Th you get, as can your delivery device and vaping method and, of course, the nicotine itself - but you need to member that nicotine is only part of what causes a TH.

Some flavors can taste much better with a lower nicotine strength and you can still achieve the TH you want by finding the other parts that effect what you get. I am always reluctant to suggest more nicotine for a better throat hit as the lowest amount of nicotine a person can vape the better. As for how much you need, you can maintain the blood level you are used to by vaping a bit more often with a lower strength and its better then going to a higher strength if you can avoid it.

I don't vape more when I when I don't get a TH, I just inhale differently or change delivery devices. TH has nothing to do with how much nicotine is getting in your system and I am afraid if I just vaped more to 'make up' for not getting a TH I would end up with a bit of nicotine toxicity from getting too much nicotine by over vaping :)

I don't like much of a throat hit myself. I'm new to vaping myself here, but im guessing throat hit is the harsh burning feeling in your throat? If you like a good throat hit in that aspect, go for dekang cherry 24mg, stuff about made my throat bleed, and my tonsils were swollen lol. Needless to say that stuff is still sitting in my shelf, I put a drop in my strawberry from time to time.

Sometimes the flavorings take away throat hit and sometimes they ad to it. I find depending on nicotine alone for throat hit bad because it tends towards raunchy harshness ( nJoy King at 45) if im careful with my DIY i get what i want 70/30 pg /vg and 19-20 mg nic. Then it either improves in smoothness and thickness with added flavor or it decreases to no longer good! I really dont understand it but it happens. Ive had a great flavor throat hit going and decided to make it richer by adding Malty or em and robbing it of throat hit happens instead! But not evry flavor Ive done this to. Chemistry of some kind is involved. Ive added lemon to a flavor before that as balanced and nice tastey good and it went to that soapy chemically thing after! With such additives i will either omit from now on or try it on a a little 3 ml sample first, which isnt my style of DIY but at least with those Ive experienced big negative alterations with i can do that.
