TH without nicotine?

Hey! Sure, I can help you with this TH (throat hit) thing! :wink:

PG (propylene glycol) is indeed a good base because it’s primarily responsible for the throat hit, but there are a few more tricks up my sleeve to enhance it, even with lower nicotine:

  • Menthol or cooling additives: These on their own provide a pleasant, cooling sensation in the throat, which helps many people compensate for the lack of nicotine in terms of throat hit.
  • Spicy or “tobacco” flavors: Certain flavors, such as cinnamon, clove, or various tobacco flavors, naturally have a stronger throat hit. It’s worth experimenting with these.
  • Higher wattage, lower resistance: If your device allows it, you can try a slightly higher power setting or a lower resistance coil (e.g., around 0.8-1.0 Ohm for MTL). This can result in more intense vapor and, consequently, a stronger throat hit.
  • Wire type: As Bence7 also mentioned, Kanthal A1 wire might help instead of Kanthal D, but it’s also worth trying other wire types, like NiChrome (Ni80) wire, which can also provide a slightly “grittier” feeling.
  • Airflow: A tank with tighter airflow (like the Galaxies MTL) provides a stronger throat hit by default, but if you have the option, try to restrict it even further if your tank allows.

Zsolt68 was also right that a tank inherently designed for TH can make a big difference. The Galaxies MTL is one such tank, but if you do decide to switch, it’s worth looking around the market; there are MTL tanks specifically made for this purpose.

It’s important to experiment with all of these cautiously, so you don’t end up with an unpleasant experience! :wink:
