How to Find Your Ideal Throat Hit - eJuice Direct

A harsh throat hit can be an unpleasant part of vaping, and most vapers have experienced this from time to time. If your coils are primed and your tank is full, you should be able to achieve your ideal throat hit, but if your throat burns after a puff, there might be something awry. Check out these simple tips for getting your perfect hit from any vaping device, and if you are in the market for a new or upgraded device, you can shop vape hardware right here at eJuice Direct.

Problem: Your nicotine strength might be too high.

Solution: If your throat hit is too harsh, lowering your nicotine percentage or strength might be your best bet. If you use a sub-ohm device, you can cut your nicotine by combining a 0mg nicotine level e-juice with 3mg, 6mg, or 12mg e-juice in your tank with a few easy steps, which we’ve outlined in our How to Mix e-Juice blog. Simply lowering the level of nicotine in your e-juice can reduce the harshness significantly and make each puff more enjoyable. If you find this helps improve the feeling of your puffs, try purchasing a lower nicotine level next time or pick up a 0mg nicotine e-juice and continue mixing every time you fill your tank.

Problem: You may be using the wrong device.

Solution: A low-wattage vape device such as a pod mod lends itself to a harsher throat hit, which can be enjoyable for some vapers depending on your own personal preferences. If you use a device like this and your puffs are too intense, you might want to consider switching to a sub-ohm vape device like a vape kit or mod to achieve your ideal hit. As well, be sure to check your e-juices to make sure they are compatible with your device; sub-ohm devices use regular e-Liquid, and low-wattage devices use nicotine salt e-Liquid. For more information on the different types of e-juice and how they work, check out our Nic Salt vs Regular e-Juice blog.

Problem: Your wattage or temperature setting could be too high.

Solution: Wattage and temperature affect the heat and power used to vaporize your e-Liquid inside your tank. If either of these are too high, they can burn out your coils quickly or offer a harsh puff. Play around with the temperature and watts on your device to find your ideal range and try not to stray too far from that number to keep your puffs smooth and enjoyable. Your coils and e-juice may have different wattages at which they function best, and vaping outside that range can have adverse effects on your puffs. Vaping should be an enjoyable part of your life, and a harsh or burning throat hit can take away from the experience. Following these simple steps can help you reach your perfect puff and hopefully prevent further issues in the future.
