Where to start?

[Peter Hamilton]

Yesterday I bought an eMax mini vaporiser as I want to replace cigarettes in my life - I smoke far too much, normally Stuyvesant red, 40 a day.
The liquid that I bought is Liqua American Blend .

This is far too strong, it catches my throat and makes me cough.

What should I get and what nicotine strength

Thanks for any help

Welcome to ECF Peter Hamilton

You didn't mention what mg your liquid is...

Coughing tho...may not be the mg of nic in your liquid

vaping can make you cough...the feel on the throat when you inhale is different than smoking...
You had to learn how to smoke, now you need to learn how to vape.
Try taking smaller, slower draws into your mouth, then inhale.
You can't vape like you smoked a cigarette.

Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

Definitely take smaller hits when you are starting out, take it into your mouth, some people don't even inhale, and exhale through your nose or mouth. The nic in vapor can be absorbed through the mucous membrane in the mouth and sinuses.

I was coughing with PG so the next juice I got was 30%PG 70% VG and that solved the problem.

pg makes more of a throat hit, that should fix it,

Thank you for the information. It's obvious that I'm using the device incorrectly, but you live and learn even at 70.
The juice I'm using is 12mg/ml.
I will get something stronger as I relly need to stop smoking.

I started out with 36 mg/ml. Get whatever it takes to quell the craving for nicotine. I'm down to 12 mg now.

Stick with it. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and try different juices and devices. I jumped to some of the other devices within a week, those that gave me the ability to adjust the airflow, and adjust the voltage to further tune the vape device to my liking. Those little features helped me, as well as trying different juice mixes. It was an adventure, and a fun one at that, so keep your mindset to get off cigs.

I coughed a lot at first but found switching to 50/50 pg/VG mix solved the problem. I settled on 24mg in the end. Below that didn't seem to solve the craving
