What Is Throat Hit and How to Go About It?
A pleasurable sensation, a slight irritation, a feeling that can be both. However vapers define throat hit, it is something that they experience on varying degrees when they inhale nicotine. And there are many ways to attain or avoid this experience among vaping enthusiasts.
Throat Hit: Not a Medical Condition
For the uninitiated and the newly-inducted to the vaping world, it does sound like one. But throat hit is basically the feelings/sensations associated when the vapor from your vaping device enters your throat. It can be a smooth transaction that makes you go ahh; at times, it can stir something in your throat causing you to cough.
The experience can be attributed to a number of things.
1. Your device. Each device has its own mechanism, coils and all in breaking down and making nicotine bioavailable in the body. The higher the voltage, coupled with a higher level of nicotine as applicable, can produce a harder hit.
2. The level of nicotine. Some vapers have reported no difference with nicotine levels when they use their more powerful battery-driven mods and smaller systems like vape pens.Â
Salt-based nicotine liquids used in Aspire Gusto mini pods, Kilo pods, Mistic pods, Myblu pods, Myle pods, and other vape pods have a higher concentration of nicotine and ideal for low-powered vape systems. This can result in a milder hit although anything above the ideal concentration can lead to something nasty in the throat.
Similarly, mods with higher voltage might have to subscribe to recommended levels of nicotine concentration to be safe. Nonetheless, vaping with lower nicotine dosage can still produce a throat hit although at a lesser degree.
3. The flavor. Vape juices come in all sorts of flavors - you can buy them in four pods a pack or wholesale.
And these flavors in your favorite PHIX pods, SMPO pods, Space Jam pods, Vo Zeal pods, XFire pods, ZiiP pods, and Zoor pods affect the quality of the throat hit because they can alter the ph of the e-liquid, resulting in a harsher or smoother hit.
A throat hit is after all an essential experience in vaping. And yes, you can’t achieve a proper throat hit if you vape with zero nicotine.
