Throat Hit Technique

[dedmonwakin]

Hello All,

For those who are having mild to no throat hits.

Realizing that most all of us have various smoking techniques no matter being an E-cig or Analog smoker. I often wondered why some people had various experiences with the the same model from the same company, concerning throat hits.

Even myself, my experiences with my 901's are far more mild pertaining to throat hits, compared to my RN4081's and M401's. Sure there may be factors in regards to atomizers and battery functionality. But if your producing moderate to thick vapor and still getting unimpressive throat hits....it may most likely be how your smoking.

As said, my 901's produce rich thick vapor with 3 drops uncut glycerin to 5ml commercial liquid....yet throat hits were mild to unnoticeable. I blame this on the unique design of the cart, not the atomizer or battery. The cart it self, forces me to take long continuous drags to get a considerable amount of vapor, so by the time I'm done, "sucking" I'm ready to inhale.

During a conversation with the wife, she asked me a question that made me pause and think for a a second or two while having a mouth full of vapor. I then completely inhaled it and nearly choked. It had the same throat hit as my super mini's, maybe a little better.

I tried it again purposely, getting a mouth full of vape as if I were going to attempt smoke rings letting some roll from my mouth, while mentally counting 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, inhale and again...gooooood throat hit.

Basically, it's not always the device or liquid your using...it's how you take a drag. Those who have good throat hits, may have naturally done this on analogs already, therefore having a different experience than those like myself.


So for those who want to try this if you don't already have this style of smoking, I recommend you try it. It will take a bit to get accustomed to...but so has been smoking an electronic cigarette!

Okay, think I'm getting a better throat hit with vapor in the mouth, pause, inhale.

Well for me it seems that throat hit comes from the level of NIC ya smoke I have some 16 vapes like water, 24 is a lil better but not much now 36 burn baby burn ohhhhhhh soooooooo gooooooooood also sub note: battery cut off is the devil get you a manual battery Dura-C/510/Yeti/Titan or KissBox if you like PenStyle whatever you wanna call it with manual batteries no primer puff no waiting huge vapor and as big of a hit as your lungs can handle!!!

I am not certain I can buy into the draw, hold, then inhale for a better throat hit. I think throat hit is very much linked to both heat and nic content. Leaving nic content out of the equation, holding a draw in your mouth essentially reduces the temperature of the vapor, thus reducing the amount of vapor overall and potential throat hit from heat. Throat hit on an analog is very much linked to the high temperature of the smoke. I believe that is why high-voltage vaping devices provide a more satisfactory throat hit because of the increased temperature of the vapor coming out of the mouthpiece.

Hi I MUST MUST GET THAT THROAT HIT, OR WHY BOTHER
I do not agree that it is the MG used
I use only 36mg, but on my 801's I rarely get the TH, same w/ some of the supers
Now if I use the VK and a supplied 16mg capsule, I still can get a good TH
I also by pass the carts many times after I drip, so it can get real intense
I do not have the answer as to why one over the other, I do know that I own many mods and the 901 SD and they are very consistent in the TH
I also use sweeter juices, so you would think that they do not kick, but they do
I am in search for that ultimate TH and for whats out in the market, I hacve found that VK's and Mods along with 510 manuals with or without the carts, offer me those TH's on a constant basis

wish you all the best TH possible

Honestly for me it's not about throat hit. It's about chest hit. When I inhale, I inhale directly to my lungs. When my lungs feel full, that's when I feel the best. Same thing when it comes to smoking an analog. I guess I am weird.

 

[bizzyb0t]

Get a new 510 with a manual battery. THROAT HIT CITY!

Why is it that the vapers that use a mod with a manual switch and a 1000mAh battery get consistent, strong throat hits hour after hour for 7-8 hours? This isn't rocket science. It's really quite simple.

The Dura C provides a great throat hit, but IMO, the best one comes from the Ruyan Jazz. Too bad it lasts for about three minutes before dying.

Your right, it isnt rocket science. It also isnt always about mods and Screwdrivers. Some of us dont want to drag around something that looks like tractor part hooked up to a car battery. So we talk about the ones that look like an analog, or ones that are more pleasing to the eye, and how to get the most out of them.

I can't disagree that some of those things don't play a factor. All that I know for certain is that I have tried this with all several different models and I've gotten more than satisfactory results in a windless environment. Of course, you do need a good amount of vapor. So I suppose this suggestion was for those who could draw a considerable amount of vape with their device, yet still lack throat hit.

What exactly is your point? Apparently your suggesting that I get/make a manual switch e-cig(a button that lets you control energy consumption) and 1000mAh battery(which has nothing to do with how powerful the batt is) will increase throat hits. Not rocket science indeed.

Let me explain, since you've proven to me, your ability to leave, twist, or overlook words/topics when our paths crossed last.

I wasn't talking about consistent throat hits that a mod provides, beause of it energy capacity.
I'm merely suggesting that technique needs to be considered into the factor of throat hits as well and the various models available may require different techniques from one to the other.

I have said this on many threads...but if you want TH it is the spicyness of the tabacco. The most TH from analogs are from the french tobacco...Gitanes, Celtique, and Gualioses. If you get used to those a Camel or Marlboro red is like smoking ultra lights. The French tobacco has less nicotine than Marlboro lights...but ten time the throat hit...and lets not talk about the lung punch. All you have to do is add a couple of drops of jalapeno juice to every ten ml of eliquid...and viola TH up the ....

 

[kingfatty]

I feel i get a good TH from e smokey treats 18mg watermelon, and the cherry,but not so much on the coffee or the vanilla. just my 2 cents

Jalapeno juice? Jalapeno Juice? I'm half Thai and all, and raised on heat...but I don't know about putting heat from peppers to my lungs! That sounds really harsh!lol

OMG dedmonwakin - you're totally right! Thank you for posting about your experience. I'm new to this and don't really know my model numbers yet. I started over Easter weekend with a SmokingEverywhere e-cig and liked it. Then I read so many posts here putting it down and so many recommendations for the DSE-901 that I ordered one.

Until I just tried your advice I'd been very unhappy with the throat hit on the 901 and thought it felt wimpy. Now I get it! LOL

I'm really glad it's working for you. I was beginning to think I was imagining this and choking for no reason.

Throat hit is everything to me. I started with a badda-bing/ngar/601. It delivered lots of vapor, but zero throat hit. I used nicotine gum alongside it and it kind of worked, but after some research got a DSE901.

Wow, throat hit. No longer need the gum, the 901 does the whole job.

I find the slower I draw the better the throat hit. I draw just strong enough to keep the LED lit into my mouth, then inhale. I believe the slow draw concentrates the vapor because there's less air to dilute the vapor. Whatever the reason it hits very satisfyingly.

I use both medium and ultra liquid (e-SmokeyTreats chocolate medium and hilton ultra), and get a very similar throat hit from both strengths.

I do find it drains the carts pretty quickly. I'm frequently topping up, usually with a drop or two directly on the atomizer.

The same technique doesn't work on the two cigar-styles I have. They require too big of a draw to get the battery working. I can get lots of vapor out of them, but without a throat hit they're forgotten in a drawer.

 

[borjis]

For me as well. Throat Hit IS the reason I smoke. thank goodness the Dura delivers what I need. Have not smoked since January.

I do notice the best throat hit is from Janty high liquids and the dura-c manual battery or the usb pass through I made thats fed 1000 mah current from an ac usb adapter (smoking it right now as i type this heh heh)

Well, that does seem like the classic case of style over substance. I just don't want new users to get turned off from vaping because they don't get closer to the "hit" or consistency of analogs. But then, everone has their priorities.
