Throat Hit Origins
Throat hit is the tingling sensation smokers feel at the back of the throat. It is felt when the inhaled smoke hits the throat. The term is more relevant to e-cigarette smoking because by their very nature e-cigarettes taste lighter than conventional cigarettes. Throat hit is a major concern for e-cigarette smokers because most of them converted from conventional smoking and they are used to the stronger throat hit of a burning tobacco leaf.
So, the stronger the throat hit, the better because it’s closer to the real thing. Let’s look at some of the factors involved in producing stronger throat hit, starting from the most important.
Throat Hit Factors
#1 E-liquid Quality: Overall quality of e-liquid is cited as the most important factor in producing stronger throat hit. First time buyers of e-cigarette should research the brands that offer e-liquid that ranks high in throat hit.
#2 Nicotine Dosage in E-liquid: The dosage of nicotine can also affect throat hit. High dosage equals stronger throat hit, but again it depends on the overall quality of the e-liquid.
#3 Condition and Proper Maintenance: Life of equipment and maintenance may determine throat hit. Often uncharged batteries and clogged atomizer may cause weak throat hit; so do defective ones.
#4 Device Parts Quality: Throat hit also depends on the quality of the separate parts of the e-cigarette: atomizer, batteries, and cartridges. The model, batch, and brand play a part too.
#5 Smoking Technique: Smoking e-cigarettes takes some time to learn. It is about three times harder to draw on an e-cigarette than on a conventional cigarette. Plus getting more vapor and throat hit depends on the particular way an e-cigarette is drawn on.

I just got my elumacig today and it is pretty cool. They shipped me the wrong color carts though, my cig is white, but carts are black? I tried it out and it is interesting to say the least. I got the regular tobacco flavor (lights) and I notice there is a strange flavor to it (almost chemical taste). I think I will try some of the flavored ones next. I will have to see after vaping it for a while though to know for sure how good it is. Worth trying for sure, I jut haven’t had mine long enough to make a real good judgement, but so far it is a really neat device.
Correction: TH is the tingling sensation smokers and vapers get at the FRONT of the pharynx, not at the back, when inhaling smoke/vapor.
