Very strange outcome-throat hit but no vapor

[Bryan]

posted this here because maybe someone can explain what is happening. For me to ever be able to go 0 nic, I need a decent throat hit. It's one of the reasons I smoke, I like the feel of a nice strong throat hit. Anyways, was reading a thread were someone used some cayenne pepper extract and got a great throat hit. I called all over my rinky dink little town and no one carries cayenne pepper extract. So I decided to try and soak some crushed red peppers(the kind that come in a plastic bottle like spices do, also the kind you put on pizza) in some PG. Took a 2 ounce shot glass and filled it half way with crushed red peppers and then just barely covered it with PG. I let it soak for 2 hours then strained it thru a coffee filter and squeezed out what PG I could. Came out very orangish color. Took a dropper and dripped a drop or 2 on my atomizer and hit it...omfgwtf!! Now I know how that guy felt doing that video lol. So I found something that will give me a throat hit. BUT the wierd thing is, even though its basically 100% PG there is no freaking vapor! The way I hit my PV is to hit it hold it in my mouth while I am hitting it then inhale the vape after I am done hitting the PV. But I can't figure out why there is no vapor? It's almost worth it because I seriously want a throat hit when I smoke. But vapor is nice to play with too. Any ideas what is happening to the vapor here?

If you try this crushed red pepper thing, after you soak it for 2 hours and strain it, look at the amount you have and then add at least 4x that amount of PG to it. This isn't the perfect solution, because you do get like that hot pepper taste after a few hits. Before I cut it with extra PG, I accidently sucked in some juice and holy crap was it HOT! lol

Any other ideas for a strong throat hit? I tried vodka, but that really didnt do much. thanks for reading.

Bryan, not advocating it, jury is still out as far as I'm concerned, but look into seedman.com flavor posts in this forum. It struck me the way (throat hit) you describe vaping some low mg juice. I liked the commercial cigarette flavor and cocoa extender.

Read ALL the posts! Just an FYI.

Hope it helps.

I did a search for seedman.com and came up with 11 threads, read thru them all but didn't really see much about improving throat hit. 1 poster said they thought the seedman flavor improved throat hit, but that was about it. Maybe I missed something?

Gonna pick up a pint of 151 Rum tommorow and try that. Someone had mentioned that with about 12.5% of that they got a decent throat hit.

As to the crushed red pepper, that isn't going to be a solution for me as it does leave the taste of hot pepper in your mouth.

Jury still out on 190 proof PGA also.

I direct drip 100% PGA to clean atty before flavor change; it does produce a nice smooth throat hit.

My 0mg mix is 50% VGA: 50% VG; it produces a nice faint throat hit.

I plan to experiment with hot peppers next.
