I have vaped several different Levels of juice,, But throat hit seems to very. Some 6 mg juice has great TH where some 24 mg juice has none ??? Any ideas ?????

That is a good question. I noticed some similar things myself. I believe the more VG the more vapor production. Imo that affects the throat hit.

I usually add a few ml's of everclear to get throat hit from juices that don't give it.

I've heard that you can use a little bit of everclear, however I wouldn;t use a few ml's. You juice would end up way too watery. Also, when I tried the Everclear it didn't really work all that well. While VG does produce more vapor, it gives you less throat hit. PG produces less vapor but gives you way more throat hit. I find that a good PG/VG mix at around 60/40 ratioa works the best for me.

To me: Throat Hit (TH) is Throat irritation (TI). It is caused by too much PG. I liked the Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured Original in 18mg. The Original is PG base. Although I love the flavoring I cut it with VG down to 15mg. TH & TI lessened, much better now. After polishing off the bottle, I ordered 2 bottles of JC's Tennessee Cured Red Oak which is VG based. Tastes a bit stronger in flavoring so I cut it down to 15mg with VG. Taste is now more to my liking. Probably better to cut it with a little PG being it is a VG base eJuice and only a little PG is added.

You did mention what type of liquid your using, Pg, Vg, Mix??? I use a mix but anyhting that all vg normaly for doesnt have much of a throat hit no matter the nic level

One thing I have noticed with mixing is that the throat hit my juice delivers varies depending on the flavoring I use. Some flavorings just seem to pack more of a throat hit. I assume it's due to the alcohol ratio in the flavoring but I could be wrong.

One word. Menthol

[Leeshor]

TH is somewhat subjective. It affects some people differently from others and also depends on the type of analogs you used.

As for varying between juices your example seems a little extreme. Going from 6 to 24 should absolutely be more harsh. Some flavors will mute the TH. In other words some flavors from some vendors will cause the TH to be different with the same NIC mg. Could be you got very inconsistent batches of juice but vendor to vendor it could be a big difference.

I don't agree. Adding pepper, menthol, alcohol increases throat irritation. True Throat Hit is caused by the spasmodic effect nic has on your throat. Hit some 60mg juice, it will take your breath away as your throat muscles react.
