What gives the throat hit

[vettepwr]

So I am playing around with making my own juices now and I am very happy with the flavors I have made so far.

An example of what I made for the sake of this question is

4ML VG
2ML Water
5ML 24MG Dekang Blueberry PG E liquid
3ML Loranns Blueberry Flavoring

It vapes very well, I can chain hit my 510 with a stock filler cart and get tons and tons of vapor.

It is just really really smooth, no throat hit at all.

When I was using the the Dekang 24MG Blueberry PG by itself it had a nice throat hit, almost little harsh but felt like inhaling smoke sorta.

So what is my mixture missing? Is it the low concentration of PG, is it the lower nicotine?
Any thoughts from you guys with more expierence making your own juice would be appreciated. Normally I would just experiment some more but my wife is going to kill me if i keep buying stuff lol.

Thanks in advance

I believe the answer is that you've cut the concentration of nicotine as well as added a few other "cutters" as far as flavor goes. It's kind of like vodka with OJ, the OJ helps cut the vodka and they combine to make a much smoother drink.

From what I have read and experienced, the nicotine % is what gives the throat hit. More nic, more hit.

I was thinking it might have been the nicotine. I have a bottle of unflavored nic on the way so Ill test that theory out when i get it.

As always thanks for the replies.

Swap that 2ml of water for Everclear = Throathit ... (just a thought)

does that produce a alcohol flavor?

I'd swap 2ml of water for 1ml of vodka or Everclear. Add a half-ml of water if it seems too thick. I find that more than 10% water destroys the throat hit for me, and a too-thin juice can also flood the atty more easily -- just my short experience.

Thanks for the input, Ill try using the everclear as a thinner and see how that effects it.

I sometimes mix a drop of Enclear directly onto the atmoizer along with the eliquid. Gives a great throat hit.
