What is throat hit?

“Throat hit” is an informal vaping term for the sensation felt in the throat during inhalation. It is subjective and can vary between people, products and patterns of use. A stronger sensation is not automatically a sign that a product is working better, and a weaker sensation is not a measure of safety.

What can affect throat sensation?

Nicotine strength, e-liquid formulation, flavouring, device characteristics and the way a person inhales can all affect how an aerosol feels. Because formulations and devices differ, advice that applies to one product type may not apply to another.

What if vaping makes your throat sore?

The NHS lists coughing, dry mouth and throat, and mouth and throat irritation among reported side effects of vaping. Persistent or severe symptoms should not simply be treated as a device-setting issue. Stop using the product and seek appropriate medical advice if you are concerned, particularly if symptoms are severe or accompanied by breathing difficulty.

Product-use checks

If a device suddenly tastes burnt or produces an unusual sensation, stop using the affected refill or pod and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only compatible consumables and charging equipment. Ezee’s cigarette-style rechargeable products use sealed prefilled consumables rather than user-adjustable power settings.

Throat hit is not a safety measure

A stronger or weaker throat sensation does not tell you whether a product is safe. Vaping is not risk-free, and nicotine-containing products contain an addictive substance.
