Why the difference in throat hits

[Scottofalltrades]

I was wondering what produces a bigger throat hit? Does the nicotine level have anything to do with it? I have a lot of different flavors and am getting different throat hits off of the various flavors. They're all producing good vapor. So, what could be causing the difference in the hit?

The way I understand it the Nic is the largest factor. But the flavoring used and the base make a difference as well.

Yup, I think Satanzchild is correct. Nic plays a large part, but some flavors just have more throat hit, even in zero nic. Anything with menthol or pepper type base specifically I believe. I'm sure some other folks will have more info than me!

PG-based liquids seem to have more throat hit than VG-based ones. VG can be useful for smoothing out harsh liquids. I'm going to add a smidgen to my East Mall 36mg Virginia to tone it down a bit and make more vapor.

Ive got some kick brand "tobacco road kill" that could use a little taming down...in my 901 its bearable. in my VK its gnarly..and thats being kind.

i have some vanilla from cigeasy (24mg) thats so damn great i may buy a few gallons for reserves

Nic seems to be the main factor. Flavoring has a lot to do with it too. Compare a butter flavor to Jalapeno juice. Guess where the hit will be.

I think the 6 volt battery gives a tremendous hit.
Once you go to 6 volts all the other e-cigs feel like breathing fresh air.

Do you remember when you smoked analogs and someone offered you a different brand that was much lighter than yours?
And you thought "I can't taste a thing".

It's the same with a 6 volt battery versus a 3.7 or 3 volt battery.

I wonder what a 12 volt feels like ? Ummm !!!

Nic and voltage... voltage and nic!!!

I find that a fresh cartridge a really good working atty and a fresh battery give a great throat hit. My 510 is pretty consistent for throat hit. Its my ecig of choice and iv had several. i do agree that some juices give better throat hit than others too. I have also found that the really dark juices dont give a great throat hit and they tend to clog my atomiser producing less vapor

I'm surprised no one has come up with a 12V pass through for the car. Just use the cigarette lighter coil as the heart of the atty, give it an insulated body, a manual button and about 6 ft. of cord. Use a pump oiler to squirt juice into the atty, and tailpipe away!
