What caused the throat hit?

[creeperfan5236]

So I prefer a smooth vape, no nic just straight up flavor. I'm at the shop and the guy lets me try a strawberry banana. I take a pull, not even a second I got a harsh throat hit. I'm like "Holy shit how much nic is in there?" He goes, "None. Customers say that a lot about that juice. There's honestly no nic in this," Now I'm thinking the juice has more PG than VG. Other than that, could the flavoring itself be the issue? Or a combination of the two or more? Food for thought.

PG or cheap ingredients. Was it perfumy at all?

Strawberry hits me that way. Harsh throat hit, kind of needles-like.

I only tried it once. But I don't recall it being perfumy. The Space Jam line has a really bad perfume aftertaste

For me I got the same problem with alcohol based flavorings instead of pg based. Just too harsh no matter what. Could possibly be that?

I like a little throat hit. In zero nic juice the culprit is PG and the flavor combination. I have a sensitivity to PG, so most of my DIY is high VG (80%). It's smooth, but no bite, so I use various Nic brands for the bite.

if you're not addicted to nicotine...why do you vape at all?

It's none the less a pacifier. I always use to have something in my mouth so a friend suggested that I vape. I bought a basic mod, and I liked it. And the story goes from there.

Do you mean alcohol as in beer, wine etc or like the medical alcohol?

no it's a food grade alcohol that they use to extract flavorings from things....like say vodka or everclear....some companies use it rather than PG for extraction, but I also have found it to be revolting. I used everclear to make tobacco extractions but then evaporated off the alcohol and put the extraction into PG.

^^^ that. Thanks for explaining for me. Some companies use alcohol extraction for flavors to make 0pg/100vg for those with a pg sensitivity or allergy. There are other better ways to do it, but some still use that method. It gives a massive throat hit even with 0nic for some, others enjoy it.

also they find that some flavorings extract better with alcohol.....unfortunately I do believe alcohol will also extracts oils as well.

From what I hear some juice companies make their juice or store it in a whiskey barrel. I forgot which one it was.

yeah 5 pawns...of course their juice has high levels of all kinds of nasty stuff which they lied about.

 

[always9988]

Heathers heavenly purity line is mostly alcohol extracted flavorings. That's the only one I know of for sure as far as vendor juice, because I found out a lot of the vaping zone super concentrates are what they used

For most people whether they realize it or not your addicted to the ACTION of smoking or vaping just as much if not more than the actual nicotine itself. Thats why for me the gums, patchs, toothpicks, chewing on straws never worked. my first riva kit and old clearo's was the last day I smoked a cig and it was in large part because I finally had something that gave me a little nic but more importantly I could carry on with something that felt like I was actually smoking still.

I like enhaleing white pillowy clouds what can I say...
