I'm not an expert, but the e-liquid you're using sounds like it may be a bad deal. Honestly I'd either throw it right out, or at least put it away until you have a better idea of what works for you, and then you can see if it's worthwhile to keep (if the nicotine is too high, you can mix it with lower nic liquids as needed or wanted; if the pg is too high, you can mix it with all-vg or high vg e-liquids if you choose, if the flavor just sucks, you could give it to someone else who might like it) -- but it might just be *bad*, and not be worthwhile to keep at all. You'll know later.
As a new person to this, I'm not in any position to advise people what to do, but I found that higher pg e-liquids make me cough a lot so I'm now using 50% pg / 50% vg (Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerin), and I want to get e-liquid from someone / some business I trust,
for sure.
If there is a shop that specializes in vaping anywhere close, go to them and ask what their popular flavors are, and try a couple of sample-size bottles at 18-12 mg nicotine. I really wouldn't start higher unless you were smoking like 3 packs a day; you can vape more if you need more nicotine, and level up nicotine percentage next time if you find you need to, but starting at a really high nic level is probably not wise. I was smoking two packs a day, and started at 12 mg, and went down to 9 mg with my next order -- but everyone is different! I like to feel that I can vape more, if I want to, without going high on the nicotine, and this level works for me.
If there is no shop around you, you might order Halo Tribeca (not one I actually like, but most people like it a lot) and/or a "RY 4"-type flavor (very popular!) from any reputable source online. People on this message board will surely be able to guide you to an EU online seller that is dependable, safe and decent.
Finally, I'll just say this: if you are worried about money, it might not be a big issue. I've been keeping track of the money we've spent in switching to vaping, and 22 days later, we're about even after buying two starter kits, several extra clearomizers, around 20 bottles of e-liquid,and a couple of extra things. We haven't
saved money yet, but we haven't spent extra either, and we've bought quite a few things! Including some super nice "premium" e-liquids, and a couple of nice Kanger glass mini tanks. We were buying like three packs a day, though. So.
Keep in contact here, akke92, and these folks will help you through everything. I don't think I would have been able to make the transition without all the info I've learned so far from this board.
Dripping attys have a steep learning curve for beginners - those dry hits could put you off vaping altogether, so I think rather than go that route you should stick with your CE4 and get some better juice. I love Halo juices - Tribeca in particular. Full flavor and a very reliable commercial supplier!
