Anyway to decrease the "spiciness" nicotine?

[paulw2014]

In trying to make a 24mg liquid, I noticed that it has a fiery kick on the throat, almost like it's got pepper oil in it. By adding menthol, I'm able to alleviate this.

But what if I want to make a 24 mg non-menthol liquid? Are there any good ways to make it smoother?

I think nicotine from different suppliers might have different degree of "spiciness" for a given concentration, no?

Yep, and that's the key.

higher nic level is going to have that taste, and yes, it does depend on supplier. Since I vape 6mg, I tasted some 18mg the other day and it was quite "peppery" to someone like me who is not used to it.

A higher level of VG, however, will make your juice quite a bit smoother. What ratio are you at with PG/VG?

I was doing 20% VG and 80% PG.

I've heard that RTS has the smoothest nicotine? smoother than Wizard Labs?

Hi Neighbor!

I have and use both of those. Usually around 18mg. Both are good.

I also use the nicotine from VapersTek (VT).

1 Liter U.K. Sourced Nicotine (100 mg USP/EP) - Vapers Tek

By a wide margin the Non Throat-Hit VT nic. is far smoother than RTS or WL. (or anything else I've tried...)

Vaperstech NIC seems to be the best for lower kick. If that don't do it reduce the level of NIC to 18mg or lower.
