When it comes to throat hit, is it something you got used to or is it a preference?

I'm not a fan of the big throat hit myself. I'm not looking to replace the cigarette. I just want the smoothest pull, sweet flavor and lots of nicotine.

Being new myself I'm still looking for some really good e-juice that has loads of nicotine and flavor and virtually no TH.

Throat hit is a product of nicotine. Higher nicotine = more throat hit.

Some things can enhance TH- more PG, menthol, higher voltage, some flavorings
Some things can minimize or give a smoother TH- more VG, some of the sweeter flavors, lower voltage, tanks/clearos.

You don't want to fool too much with nicotine or you'll have cravings. Adding too much VG will make your e-liquid thicker- not good for every delivery system.

Vaping isn't like smoking. It's dehydrating.

Yeah I have been reading up on PG/VG and the stuff I'm vaping right now gives me a pretty good balance. The TH is there but its not as harsh as my other juices.

As for nicotine and cravings...well in my 10 years of smoking I craved it all the time. I really don't care about craving it. Thats fine. I want it. I just don't want everything else that comes with smoking a real cigarette. If I'm going to put the stuff in my system I may as well go the healthier and less stinky route.


That article someone posted was very helpful. I've been trying to vape like I smoked. Totally wrong.

Since Im a direct dripper exclusivly, 100% VG works well...I find PG harsh.... I know what you mean about to much nicotine...30mg like I use is quite abit.....The only thing I can say is that I only vape 2 ml a day when I used lower mg I needed to vape more to satisfiy the nic crave...
Been using 30mg for years now....feels like a cigarette as far as nicotine delivery...... Mabey its time for some 24mg:)

Everyone needs to find what works for them. I run and can't vape more than 30% VG I really feel it in my chest.

You just have to find the right balance. Sometimes it's not about running out any buying something new though. There is an adjustment period.
