I'm looking for a cartomizer around 3-3.5 ohms. I find that the lower resistance cartomizers/atomizers give too much throat hit and too much harshness to the flavor. I guess I have a very sensitive tongue/throat... I started on Blu and though their battery life is terrible and their prefilled cartos are waaay to expensive, I really like the cool, smooth vapor they produce. I've got an eGo battery now, but looking for cartomizers with resistance similar to the Blu. Recommendations would be much appreciated!
3.0 - 3.5 ohm 510/eGo Cartomizers

I reread your post. Do you mean a standard eGo or a Twist?
Wattage isn't the only thing that contributes to a strong TH; nicotine level, pg/vg ration and flavorings have an impact too.
ETA: This may not be the best price, but they are in stock. I often buy from Smoktek: http://www.smoktek.com/Boge-510-Cartomizer--30-ohm-SR--Black-or-Stainless-5-pack_p_110.html
Vapor Beast has free shipping: http://www.vaporbeast.com/Boge_Black_Standard_Resistance_Cartomizers_p/c3.htm

Awesome, thank you!! I'm using JC Red Oak juice, at 1.8% nicotine, which I'm assuming should be similar to the Blu in terms of flavor/vapor/TH. I have 2.5 ohm cartomizers, and the TH is too much for me. Hopefully the Boges will do it for me

Higher ratio of pg produces more TH, as does a higher nic level. I hope it works out for you! Cheers!
i remember vaporgods had pretty cheap 3 ohm cartos, comes in options for a prepunched hole so no hassel of doing it urself...

also make sure to choose the XL size so that it fits in most tanks... i made the mistake of ordering the regular sized ones and none of my tanks fit

Chris, I'm guessing you might be a relatively newer vapor. It is common for new vapors to find vapor irritating to their throat and lungs, often resulting in either hard coughing or sore throat. This is common and in general will become less of a problem as your body becomes more acclimated to vapor. You may not remember, but it took your body some amount of time to adjust to cigarette smoke, too.
Be aware that it is not necessary to inhale the vapor into your lungs to absorb it's nicotine. We absorb nicotine in vapor differently than that in cigarette smoke. Much like a pipe or cigar tobacco smoker, we absorb nicotine in vapor in the mouth and throat, and nose. Perhaps a modification of inhalation technique will help.
Take a drag from your vaporizor as if you were sucking on a milkshake. Slow and long, consistant, for 3 - 6 seconds, hold in your mouth momentarily, and then either inhale into your lungs or exhale part from your mouth, part from your nose.
After years of smoking, your taste buds have been damaged and your sense of tastes are most likely off. Using your nose to assist with "tasting" flavors can allow you to more enjoy your e-liquid flavors. So make sure to exhale some of the vapor through your nose.

If you are like me, you will find low resistance (1.5 -2.0 ohm) delivery device to give too warm of a vape and be too harsh on your throat. I prefer to use higher resistance for a cooler vape, and use single coils and not dual coils.

...this matches my experience pretty well. Took a while to become acclimated to the first LR Carto I tried; Swore off of them after the first one, but love them now.
It should be fairly easy to find some 3.0 or 3.2 ohm cartos from any number of vendors, I usually keep a couple around for occasional high voltage use.

An alternative to consider, if the above suggestions don't quite resolve your throat issue, is to change over to a VV or VW battery and experiment with lower voltages and standard cartos. Investing in a new battery is an outlay of cash but it's a simple way to lower the wattage at the head, gives you the opportunity to find the perfect spot for *you* for each of the juices you end up using, and eliminates the need to chase after specific cartos.
I am pretty new to vaping, been making the transition over the last couple of months. I do follow pretty much exactly the method you describe for inhaling, though I find the most irritation occurs in my mouth, so I don't hold in my mouth for as long. I've always had sensitivity issues in my mouth, I can't eat any spicy/tart/acidic foods without significant pain, which I think is pretty rare. I've got some Boge 3.2 ohm cartomizers on order, so hopefully those will help. And a eGo twist or similar vv battery is definitely going to be my next device!
I'm definitely planning to get a VV battery as soon as I can, thanks!
You are a perfect example of why there are options available. Perhaps for you either low or standard resistance works best. If only standard resistance worked great for everyone, then there would be no need for low or high restance ones. It's all about finding what works best for you, your setup, and your personal preferences.
