Zero Throat Hit From DIY Juice

[justboringsarah]

I can't figure out what is going on with my juice.
I'm currently playing with DIY and some Loranns flavors,while I wait for my PA order.
I normally mix 6mg/ml nic,using 36mg unflavored juice from strictlyejuice. I thought the lack of hit was from the low nic level. Today I mixed some up with 12mg,and still nothing.
I can't seem to find PGA anywhere here,so I've been using 5% vodka(80 proof).
What can I do to add some hit? I don't want/need a ton,but some would be nice

Can you get your hands on any pure grain alcohol? (everclear) I have read of people using that to increase throat hit.

 

[Hoosier]

What amount of PG are you using?

 

[justboringsarah]

It's all PG,because I read VG would dampen throat hit

 

[Hoosier]

If it is all PG, why are you using alcohol?

PGA has not raised TH for me. I use it for a thinner on rare occations, but it does nothing except give a warmth or sometimes "brightens" a flavor.

I find that, after nic, TH is really dependant on the flavorings used. Like: Peach=low TH, Pineapple=med TH, Dark Vapure or Burley = high TH.

I'm trying to add it to get TH

Ah, and it's not working?

Cool, you know what isn't working for you. That's progress.

I'd suggest acidic, peppery, or smokey flavors then. Gotta' find something that puts some burn in the throat.

Seems like you are going down the right path though. Might give a shot with Black Pepper, or Burley, or even dose Vape Wizard higher than normal if you don't find something to rock your throat in your next flavor delivery.

Maybe if you posted your recipe one of these DIYers could tell you whats wrong. I suspect it's in your recipe because the manufacturers use the same ingredients.

This is the last juice I made,the flavor is good,but still no hit
This was a 5ml batch(because at least I've learned to make small test batches)
Nic juice 1.666 ml
PG 2.333 ml
80 proof vodka .25ml
Flavoring .75ml

I'm pretty paranoid about the measures,so I use a 1ml syringe to measure out anything under a ml. Over that I use a 3ml syringe,for whole numbers and a 1ml again for fractions of an ml

a drop or two of black pepper should do the trick. (per 5ml)

 

[ddrj]

put a couple of drops of lemon juice into it

Has anyone tried any of the qHit that Flavour Art has on its web site? I've not noticed on a reseller's site yet, but I know we have a few people that shop directly from them.

 

[justboringsarah]

like cooking black pepper,black pepper extract? Spell it out for me please

a drop or two of black pepper should do the trick. (per 5ml)

 

[Switched]

FA or Loranns black pepper. This is the DIY sub after all, where we don't use kitchen flavours

 

[Quix]

SimpleSins, am also looking for reseller for Qhit.
Kim at One Stop DIY Shop said she'd recently stocked up on Flavor Art, but would look to include in next order in maybe a month or so.

 

[LynGBH]

I'm thinking of sucking it up and purchasing Qhit from the Italian website. The shipping isn't all THAT expensive and the flavoring prices seem lower than most American suppliers.

Someone sells it but darn I can't remember who I read the vendor is. I've been searching but so far no luck. Maybe FlavourArt will tell you.
