So far Puresmoker's stuff is the best for me...I get the 36mg stuff, kicks my ... all over the place in a good way and actually makes me smoke less too. I pull a little aside and cut it with VG sometimes if it's too much. Ordered 4 bottles over the past week and plan to keep them in the fridge so I don't get caught with my pants down and be forced back to real smoking.

I tried the JC arctic mint high-nic, and while tasty, it was like puffing on delicious air. I thought I'd get at least a little hit, but seriously nothing. Sucks, too, I really wanted to like it and I feel safer knowing that it's made in America. Also tried Jane's (?) kick juice high-nic and it only just barely hit my throat...would work in a jam though.

Makes me wonder if there's something in addition to the nicotine in Steve's juice that hits the throat like it does....even the medium and high stuff hits the throat pretty well. This fierce stuff seriously feels like smoking a real cigarette.

Any plans for a lab report in the future Steve? Not sure if you already posted one, so sorry in advance if you did :)

He actually said "none" nicotine which I mistook for "more" nicotine at a glance. Guess my brain didn't know how to decipher the phrase "none nicotine" the first time around.

Sorry about my poor english!!!hehehe :p
Thank you for your help guys!
So, I concluded that the hit is made by the percentage of nicotine in e-liquid. Is it thrue? So, can't we have no nicotine e-liquid with power hits?:confused:

I too have found no nic has very little throat hit which is a shame really. I would love to vape no nic carts if they had great throat hit! The menthol from Electronic Cigarette | Free Yourself... | e-cigs Welcome might be the same as puresmoker stuff and its bloody stong with great thoat hit! I am not sure how much it would work with no nic but its probably a likely candidate!

Yeah, couldn't agree more... I also would like to settle on nic-free liquid, and I managed to get down to RY4 low (which still has a decent hit) without problems. But when I switched to RY4 no-nic (no throat hit at all) I was really missing something. For now I am mixing the RY4 low (6mg) and the RY4 nic-free in equal parts, which gives me a very light throat hit that is sort of satisfying...

I came across a really good scientific report that confirmed what we have assumed: GENERALLY, the higher the nicotine, the greater the hit. Nicotine hits the top of the airway passages and causes the muscles there to contract sharply. It's like gasping, or being punched in the chest. If the hit is strong enough, a user involuntarily coughs to expand the muscles.

But .. and this is interesting .. the PH of the liquid has an effect also. Alkaline cigar smoke, if inhaled, has a much harsher hit than acidic cigarette smoke, even when the cigar smoke has less nicotine. That means a liquid maker, to increase hit without relying on nicotine, might manipulate the PH of the liquid so that it mimics a nic hit.

Generally, the history of smoking has been an attempt to mitigate the hit, to create smoothness instead of harshness (that's where menthol with its analgesic effect comes in!). What e-smokers seem to be asking is that the smoothness-harshness level be set at that of popular tobacco cigarettes. Surely the liquid makers can do that with some experimentation.

I'd be interested in seeing that also, since that's just about all I use. Steve's 36mg Marlboro also has really strong hits. It doesn't taste like Marlboro but that's ok by me. Real cigarettes taste like crap, and I wouldn't have bought "FIERCE Crap 36mg"

It's not just the liquid, it's a combination of a good working atomizer and fully loaded battery and then the liquid.

I agree completely... The first hit from my 901b after overnight charge is always great, but an hour later I feel like I'm smoking ultra-ultra-lights, even though I still get good vapor production. Could this also be a factor of temperature? Or does the throat desensitize? Does using a USB adapter [like Janty KB and others] or a huge battery [like Screwdriver] deliver a consistently good throat hit? I'm going to buy one of the two SOON and would like to know if one is better in this regard.

I just got some fierce marlboro too...DAMN! Feel like I did when I started smoking for the first time!

and i think the "throat".. mine simply adjusts to whatever i am aiming at it as the day wears on.. even with good hardware/liquid throat hit seem to come and go.. i have found the time day affects it.. more kick and hit at the beginning of the day than the end of the day..

knowing (in my case for certain) the hardware/liquid dosnt change.. that just leaves my "throat"...
