How can I get a hit?

submitted about 5 years ago by Qwertyotum

I'm experimenting with zero nicotine. I sort of quit nicotine and now only vape with nicotine once a week. Cravings are manageable but annoying. Yesterday I tried my vape with no nicotine out of frustration and it's better than nothing, but I am missing that throat hit from the nicotine! It's not bad though, I almost feel like I could give up the weekly nicotine hit in exchange for daily no nic, I just need something with a bit more slap to it, I will try anything! Anyone got a non-addictive version of nicotine out there? Does nicotine have any other purpose other than to be addictive?? I might try tabasco sauce...

ID10-T and juthinc recommended Jalepeno but IIRC thought it had oil in it. Maybe the reason it’s discontinued. I believe you can still get old stock though.

FLV Heat could also help.

Second this! Higher pg or a 0mg nic juice with some koolada or menthol may help.

No Tabasco 😳🤢

Don't worry was only joking about tabasco, just attempting to express my frustration :)

Haha I get it...but I had to say it. Never can be too sure on here lol

But do try a strong iced or chilled 0mg flavor, that always gives me satisfaction. And I almost always vape no nic.

Thanks for the tip, I'm already on higher PG, it's certainly better

Not that I am advocating for tobasco and I might be remembering things incorrectly but I could have swore that nearly 8yrs ago when I started some places would use capsaicin to increase throat hit. Then again there were also places that were dissolving caffeine into eliquid even though it wouldn't vaporize at ecig temps...

I'm pretty sure that's all FA Flash is but tobasco Is made of more than just capsaicin

Sounds like a lot of jargon, is it addictive or not?

Higher PG and/or certain flavors will give more of a throat hit. Think cinnamon, menthol, etc.

Cayenne pepper (2 or 3) macerated on pg, so strong, maybe 5-7 drops for 10mls. Works nicely despite the downvotes
