I've considered upping to 16 or 18 from the 10/12 im at now for the same reason, I still like the nic hit but find it harder to achieve if I'm vaping regularly.
I still use 18ishMG at the moment.. Mainly for the throat hit but it seems to be less important to me these days so I'm considering dropping it to 16-14mg to see how I get on.
Yes, if you have enough of a certain Flavoring and PG in the mix. Pg, Nicotine and certain Flavorings are what give the throat hit.
Certain flavours like Cinnamon, Anise, some Citrus, Alcohol give a mighty throat hit too. I have a little bottle of Vodka in my mixing drawer.. If a mix is, imo, a little too smooth I'll add a drop or two of that to a 10ml mix which works well.
