As new vapers, you have probably heard or read this word before. The term hit is used to define the tingling in the throat when inhaling. This word means “touch” and translates into a contraction of your throat as the vapour from your electronic cigarette passes. Its presence is important in the case of smoking cessation. And for good reason: this sensation is often sought by smokers to facilitate their transition to vaping.
Factors of the presence of the Hit
The more or less important presence of the hit is provided by three elements:
- The nicotine level: the most important factor for enjoying the hit of an e-liquid is its nicotine content. A high percentage will accentuate the contraction of your throat to give you more feeling. However, if you use nicotine salts, the sensation will be diminished.
- The power of your device: your type of hardware can influence this hit. If you use a low wattage pod, your amount of vapour and heat output will be low, which can therefore weaken your feeling.
- Propylene glycol: one of the elements that can vary this hit is the percentage of propylene glycol: the more the base of your liquid is dosed in PG, the more the hit will be pronounced. Present in the majority of e-liquids on the market, it is essential for vaporization and therefore brings this slight feeling of irritation in the throat. It can be beneficial to accentuate the hit or disturbing for some intolerant people.
The hit is an important part of achieving complete cessation of smoking. Above all, do not hesitate to vary its power so as not to suffer from lack, and to choose your e-liquids well.
Which e-liquid to choose to have a hit?
As said above, the nicotine level and the PG share are the two factors of the hit. Depending on taste, there are several possibilities:
- If you are looking for this sensation, ready-to-vape nicotine e-liquids are ideal for you;
- If you want to have an even more pronounced and marked hit, turn to the e-liquids which offer a new nicotine salt formulation through a collection of 4 e-liquids (in PG-VG 50-50 and with a nicotine dosage of 10 or 20 mg/ml);
- If, on the other hand, you want a soft and pleasant hit without losing your nicotine intake, we invite you to test the Salt eVapor and its range of e-liquids with nicotine salt (in PG-VG 50-50 base and with a nicotine dosage in 10 or 20 mg/ml).
You are now unbeatable on the hit. Now it’s your turn!
