Am starting this new thread to answer a question @antonherbst asked in another thread.

Short answer @antonherbst , no, i think they are very different. And worth discussing further...
I think throat hit is very important in vaping, especially for newer vapers switching from smoking. If they dont get enough throat hit, they usually dont get the satisfaction they're after.
My belief is that the throat hit from Mouth to Lung vaping is very different to that from Direct Lung.
I am going to reuse an explanation I gave previously which still summarises my view on this. It comes from the following post:

For me the difference between the two revolves around the throat hit. I find the throat hit i get with a high nic juice on MTL is more intense. Its like a short, sharp, hard and focused punch in the back of the throat. Made more focused with additional menthol. With direct lung, its a totally different sensation. I cant do the same nic strength because its just unpleasant but when i drop the nic to something nicely vapeable, the throat hit becomes a throat rub, not a punch. Its a gentle rubbing that has a cumulative sort of effect instead of a sharp punch. So if the nic is too high, after say 10-15 mins of repetitive puffing I feel slightly light headed and woosy, not pleasant. But no satisfying punch in the throat while taking the puffs.
Therefore, for me, when I feel the urge for a good nic hit, i will reach for my high nic MTL. In the mornings with coffee, after meals and at some other times especially when i havent vaped for a while. That short sharp punch satisfies me.
So, long story short and especially for new vapers:
If you not getting the satisfaction you crave, try a mouth to lung setup with a higher nicotine juice. Vape it like you smoked, first into the mouth, then inhale into the lungs.
I have seen many first time vapers advised to get a big air high power tank with monstrous coils and 3mg juice. This direct lung massive airflow vaping is very different to smoking. And ive seen plenty of those people say its not for them. I believe those people should try on a high nic MTL setup first and get into direct lung over time if they want to.
The problem with this is that there arent too many good affordable MTL options available, neither are there many high nic juice choices. Hopefully this will change but thats a whole different story.

A question on that @Silver
Would you say the restrictive vape causes a smoother nic delivery or would you say that the 20mg nic delivery is the same on a resticted vape and a lung hit?
Asking as i would like to experiment with 3mg nic in the reo mini.
