Reducing throat hit

[jimbobday]

First off Hi my names James, I'm new to both the forum and vaping (been going about 3-4 weeks now). Before vaping I was a heavy menthol smoker (20-25 per day) but have now cut down to 4-6 per day. I haven't been able to smoke a non menthol cigarette for a few years due to it being to harsh on my throat.

I'm currently vaping with an kanger tech ipow2 battery @ 1.9ohm & 5.5 volts and a kanger tech EMOW areotank mega atomizer. I've got Mt Baker Vaper Hawk Sauce at 12mg nic and a PG/VG mix of 50/50. The main problem I have is the throat hit being far to strong to be able to smoke much of it, I read that it can take a couple of weeks to get used to but i'm still coughing every time I vape. I've order some juice which has a PG/VG mix of 30/70 which will hopefully help but is there anything else I can do to try and reduce the throat hit at all?

Lower the volts.

Also Hello and Welcome James

Also try getting a higher VG juice. VG is smoother than PG.

ETA I see you ordered some higher VG, I missed that the first time.

You are vaping an emow at 5.5 volts? Does the iPow 2 do 5.5 volts?

What are the settings? I thought it was 5-15 watts or something.

Are u mouth to lung or str8 lung hitting?

 

[Baditude]

Lowering the voltage and pg ratio are good suggestions.

If that doesn't help, try dropping your nic concentration from 12 mg to 6 mg.

what is your nic level?

 

[CrashtestjeepISback]

If you lower nicotine and/or increase VG, you won't have to lower your watts/volts. Good luck.

For me, higher the VG, the less the TH.

 

[Bunnykiller]

you can consider lowering the PG, the nic, the watts... other than that switch to licking a drop off the finger tip ( tiny drops)

Hi james. as others have said the higher vg will help. Further decreasing your cig use as well if you are able. What time of day do you smoke cigs? It took me a while to switch off cigs too cause the throat hit was always the worse in the morning. I found getting through a half cup of coffee helped before having my first vape. Also if you havent increase your water consumption.

Your throat needs some time to recover from cigarette damage but you'll get there.

Do you fully seal your lips around the mouthpiece? If so, maybe don't do this and also inhale a bit of air in the side of your mouth while vaping? (sorry if it's a poor description)

Nic = throat hit. Though we need this to quit...

pg = I gaurntee is your problem. Try a 80vg 20pg mix or a 70/30.. that should fix it

another thing is it could be some flavors in the juice. But most likely its the pg thats bothering you
