Is it normal for nicotine vapour to burn your throat?

[bovril]

The first time i ordered a vape pen i got 3 free liquid, they had 3.6% nictotine which is 36mg right?
Anyways that was great and it didn't burn my throat. Felt like a normal cigarette but watermelon flavour.

But then all other liquids that i used were burning my throat when i exhale. IT'S KILLING MY THROAT! Same thing when i exhale from my nose, it burns my nose. Even 12mg liquids gave me this burn feel.
When i say burn i mean that kind of burn you get with menthol stuff. I don't get this 'burn' when i smoke cigrettes.
And they're not dry hits.

3.6% is 36 mg that is SUPER high. try something lower like 1.8% or even 1.2%

Nah it's not that because i also tried 12mg and they gave me the same burn feel.

It could be the liquid or the mod you are using. More info appreciated

Yeah, it's pretty normal. If it bothers you I guess you could try decreasing your nicotine content. My friend can't handle throat hitting any of my juices because they're far too high and they burn him.

I also tried 12mg which is little nicotine so i assume in this case this shouldnt happen?
And also can you explain how this didn't occur with the first liquid which was 36mg?

Im using an ego battery and pro tank 1,2,3 and MT3 atomizers. Tried many different liquid brands.

My sister in law was talking to a supplier about burning in her throat and the guy told her it would be the vg. To get 80 pg and 20 vg and it doesn't seem to be bothering her anymore.

Do you know where i can order 80 pg 20 vg liquids from?

36mg (3.6%) is way above the norm, and nicotine does produce throat hit. BUT, don't confuse throat hit with to hot or to harsh.
To harsh normally means a high PG content, and to hot normally means to much voltage for the resistance of the coil, or not enough air flow, or dry wicks.

So what resistance are the heads in your pro tanks, and what PG/VG ratio are your liquids?

Add:
You have that backward, you want more VG, and less PG if it is to harsh.

I have tried 50/50 and 100% VG and same.
Im not sure what resistance even is :/

I believe the normal for pro tanks are 1.8 ohm, and 2.4 ohm. The 1.8 ohm heads will run hotter than the 2.4 ohm heads.

What flavors are they? I've discovered some juices are a more dry than others and hit the throat (and nose) hard. I have a root beer that's 12mg nic and 20 PG/80 VG. It's not one that I vape more than a few times consecutively. Makes my eyes water!

Are you getting the burning with just a freshly-charged battery, or do you also get it as the charge runs out?

I had a problem with some 1.8 coils burning the juice and giving me an experience like yours, but usually on a fresh battery.

You may have my problem. I cannot vape straight juices. I have to mix them with straight PG/VG at least 50/50. I will cough and get a burning sensation with most flavored juices, but not all. For some reason the flavorings just don't like me. I vaped unflavored for a while but got tired of it. I started trying flavored again but mixed my flavored with straight PG/VG and it's just right. One dropper of unflavored and one dropper of flavor of choice into my tank and I'm set. Also watch out for dry hits. This is usually due to either bad or misconfigured equipment.

Everyone is different with this stuff. It's really hard to say what might be going on.

You need to sit down with someone that has been vaping a while and work this out. Very little of what you are saying makes much of any sense.
Yes, 36mg is Strong for most people, but many also use it. 12mg is fairly light and should not bother you if you are a medium/average smoker.

I wonder if you have stressed your throat with a stronger Nic mix or flavor and now everything is going to hurt until it heals a bit. I say this because I got a Bad mix about a year ago. Never figured out what happened, but NO Vapor and instant feeling of swallowing Fire/Flame. Throat was extremely sore for several days and I could not vape anything without feeling the pain.

You have acceptable equipment and assuming you know how to use/maintain it things should be working better.

Oh, and some of the advice is off.
PG is more abrasive
VG is more lubricating - this is where the clouds come from.

Resistance is the coils rating - i.e. 1.8ohms, 2.2ohms, 2.5ohms etc. Lower is warmer

Or, you could have strep throat...

Try some zero nic juice and see if that helps. zero nic %VG. This way you can "narrow it down."

 

[Racehorse]

High PG content will burn throat as well as high nic content.

You might try juice with higher VG content, less PG, and less nic (I don't know the nic level you need)

If you have vape shops that let you sample juices where you live, that means they have those little devices to put over the drip tips so no one is swapping spit as they sample... Take your set up to them and let em take a hit. They should be able to tell you if it is just you, or something that needs to be adjusted.
