What Nicotine would you use to get the strongest throat hit?

[Scottsevenn777]

Part B of that question would be this, Is there a way to make it even stronger? For instance, and I don't know if this is true or not, I have heard that exposing nicotine to oxygen for long periods of time can cause it to degrade and become more harsh. It just isn't satisfying without the TH. More the better. Without getting nicotine poisoning that is.
Thank's all,

Yeah, oxidation can make the nic more harsh with peppery bite and more flavorful with more tobacco-notes and maybe also throat-hit, but don't really know 100% on that last part, sorry...

Second, there really isn't anything else you can do with your already bought nic, except:

Heighten nic mg.
Up PG; heightens evaporation of liquid including nic.
Add water; heightens evaporation of liquid including nic.
Higher wattage
Higher surface area of coils.
Use best delivery/nic-absorption system i.e. an rda
Again, consider buying strong TH nic from USA Liquid Nicotine(liquid-barn etc) and ecx.

I have no experience with it yet, but rayon is claimed to heighten nic-delivery, because of better capillary-action, which in turn should heighten TH.

Also, small breaks(or better, long if possible), even an hour, heightens TH greatly imho, but unfortunetly only for the first few hits until the throat is accustomed to the nic again... It was the same with cigs, if looking back...

Note, the above is all purely about the TH of nic, but others state you can add TH with flavors, e.g. hangsen arabic tobacco...

Scott...
What are you on about?
Stronger than what? What device are you using? What level nic?

Have you tried any of the TH enhancers? Capsaicin?

some like to use capsaicin, yes. there are vendors selling juice with it already added (i think this would be best) and some people also add grain alcohol to their e-liquid (tiny amounts) to increase the throat hit. adding water would LESSEN the throat hit, i would think. I am unsure of whether or not exposing a juice to oxygen would make the nicotine harsher, with better throat hit... but ive vaped e liquid thats expired for over 2-3 years, and, it never LOST it's TH.. I am unsure, however, it the throat hit had ever gotten better. I DID have a bottle of blue raspberry e liquid that i could not vape when i got it, because the throat hit was not strong enough for my liking, it was spongy and unsatisfying. the sour additive also made me cough.

I just finished that bottle 2 days ago, after having it in my vaping chest of draws for over 1.5 years, and the TH had gotten better for sure... It was unvapable when I received it, and when i vaped it last week/this week, it was very pleasing. the sour had reduced and the TH was a fair bit heavier/less spongy. So, if this supports your belief that oxygen improves the TH, there ya go. i've vaped MANY an expired juice and they never seem overly harsh, however.

vaping 100 percent PG is very satisfying as far as TH goes. I find that VG really thickens up the smoke, making it feel cooler on the throat, milkier, and less harsh. VG also makes my chest feel heavy after 2-3 days of vaping 100 percent VG juice. Not cool. I have found that nicotine content is the best way to control the throat hit, which is why i sometimes vape up to 24mg, even in my sub-ohm builds... TH is my MOST IMPORTANT saving grace when it comes to being able to vape, rather than smoke. I was a chain smoker, so, i never felt the light-headedness or high that slow smokers feel... likewise, i am a chain vaper, and, the MAIN thing that i am addicted to, is the throat hit. I could honestly give or take flavor and vapor production. TH is very important...

I have heard a ton of people recommend grain alcohol. capsacin is supposedly another TH enhancer, altho ive heard that it enhanced the TH in ways that are unlike the TH that myself and probably yourself, are looking for... it makes the juice HIT and BURN your throat, from what i've heard. not what im into. I recommend you try 100 percent PG and maybe some grain alcohol, at 12, 18, even 24mg.

I would guess the TH enhancers are mostly pga or water, but don't know honestly...

Adding water, wasn't meant as to diluting an already made mix, so as to dilute the nic! It was ment as part of the DIY recipe so the nic wasn't diluted, only the other stuff; pg and vg. Water and pga has a much lower boiling point than vg and pg, and also lowers the total boiling point of the combined liquid, so more liquid/nic is evaporated than before at the same temperature, equaling more TH...

I've only vaped old nic once or twice, which where a little over 1 year old in room-temp in plastic, and it was also OK except it had more pepper than before in the nose during exhale.

I have had nic before which had been getting to much heat, meaning it had oxidized much, and the taste of the nic when e.g. vaping at just 6mg where very chemical, like normal nic at 12mg too me...

I stated harsh, because i've read it by other veterans many times, and because I only vape 3mg it's hard for me to tell for myself
