The vast majority of vapers are ex-smokers who want to kick their addiction. They are replacing tobacco smoking with e-vaping, gradually reducing the nicotine content of e-liquid. However, by drastically reducing its content, the vaper will not be able to get TX, or troth-hit.
What is TH?
This is a "hit in the throat" or a burning sensation, tingling, slight spasm in the back of the throat when the nerve endings are irritated by tobacco smoke. Such sensations give a signal to a person that he has already “smoked”, and save him from an “overdose”, i.e., poisoning with harmful substances. What is TX in electronic vaping? It is similar to trothitis from classic smoking, but in terms of irritating effect it is much weaker. The vapor from a vape (electronic cigarette) does not contain tar and other combustion products of tobacco.
E-Liquids
In order to figure out what trothit depends on in electronic vaping, you need to consider the composition of vape liquids. These are the following components:
- glycerin is required in all mixtures, necessary for the formation of steam, softens the "hit in the throat";
- propylene glycol is almost always present, dissolves the components of the liquid, improves taste, increases trothitis;
- distilled water in the composition is optional, dissolves the components, gives additional fluidity to the liquid;
- synthetic nicotine is not always present in e-liquid, creates a strong irritating effect, increasing trothitis;
- flavorings are added to all liquids, give a certain taste and aroma (fruity, berry, citrus, menthol);
- dyes are not always used because of the danger of allergic reactions, they give a pleasant color or shade to the liquid.
The content of flavors in vape liquid can be from 5% to 30%, nicotine - from 0% to 3.6%. To produce a large amount of vapor and an average TX level, the liquid should consist of propylene glycol and glycerin in a ratio of 30% and 70%. For a moderate amount of vapor and a strong throat hit, propylene glycol and glycerin should be in equal parts in the e-liquid.
What determines the TX in an electronic cigarette?
The natural desire for a vaper is to get a good troth hit. What factors influence it? These include:
- Nicotine content in vape liquid. The greater its content, the stronger the "hit in the throat." It is necessary to observe the measure, otherwise the irritating effect on the throat will be very unpleasant.
- The ratio of propylene glycol and glycerin. Firstenhances the irritant effect, the second softens. In most liquids, the ratio between these substances is 50/50. Knowing what TX is, you can understand that for a strong trothite, you need to choose a liquid with an overweight of propylene glycol.
- The power of the electronic cigarette. The larger it is, the more vapor and the higher the concentration of nicotine in one serving, which enhances the experience.
- Taste of liquid when vaping. The taste of menthol and citrus enhances, while coffee and tobacco soften the irritating effect on the throat.
- Regulation of the strength of the air flow. The stronger the air flow, the less dense the vapor, the weaker the trothite.
- Evaporator material. Cotton conducts liquid well, but softens trochitis. It is replaced with hemp cord or silica thread to increase the "throat hit".
- Device parameters: battery power, the higher it is, the stronger the atomizer heats up and generates more high-quality vapor, which increases the TX of the electronic cigarette; the resistance of the atomizer, the weaker its resistance, the faster it heats up and produces thick and hot steam, which enhances TX; the type of cartridge, it affects the flow of liquid into the atomizer, the amount of vapor formed and, as a result, the force of the "strike to the throat".
- Device status. Dirty atomizer, low battery interfere with the vaporization process and reduce trothitis.
Perfect TX
When smoking tobacco, carcinogenic substances are released - combustion products and tar. However, even atElectronic vaping also releases substances dangerous to the body, which, if exposed for a long time, can cause serious illness. Therefore, it cannot be considered an absolutely safe alternative to smoking. Knowing what the TX of an electronic cigarette is, what it depends on, you can choose the optimal concentration of liquid components in order to reduce the risk to he alth. To switch from smoking to vaping, you need to reduce the nicotine content gradually to keep from returning to tobacco.
Throthit is a subjective characteristic. For different vapers, the TX of one cigarette can be either strong or weak. The ideal concentration of e-liquid components is found by trial and error, and there is no common recipe for everyone.
