Vodka???

Hey everyone, My friend told me the other day that he heard some people put a few drops of vodka in their eliquid to increase throat hit. Has anyone ever tried this?

When I signed up here at ECF the username throathit was taken. I took it a step further and chose throatkick as I enjoy a warm, full but extremely noticeable sensation as the vapor is inhaled.

To answer your question, yes, some people do use this as a means of increasing throat hit. You will see many threads about PGA (pure grain alcohol) and even some additive enhancement products that are sold separately. These products have names like Throat hit plus etc.

I have tried this method but quickly realized the sensation created is not the same. It is more of a burning/stinging sensation that is produced. Whether or not this is something you like is truly a matter of opinion. I am simply pointing out the differences as I perceive them.

In my estimation, the real solution to throat hit lies in the following:
(in order of importance)
1.A PV/atty/carto combination that creates enough heat to satisfy your level of TH
2.The right concentration of nicotine
3.The right liquid (some flavors hit harder than others)

The quick and dirty method would be to buy a lower resistance carto than what you are using now and/or buy liquid with a higher concentration of nicotine.

Personally, I use 2Ω and 2.5Ω dual coil cartos at 5v. With this combination I get that warm, full and satisfying feeling and I managed to actually lower the concentration of nicotine.

All the best!

Yep, it does. But don't over do it.

I would suggest you do a 5ml test batch and see if it works for you.

Yeah, where I live, 151 Proof is the Highest you can buy.

But I had a Bottle of Everclear from a vacation I took out of state. I did a little taste test awhile back between 80 Proof Vodka, 151 Bacardi Rum and Everclear.

The 151 and the Everclear did work better. And I actually liked the 151 Rum better than the Everclear.

But of course, Taste is Subjective.
