Dry mouth and throat?

[Peachie28]

So today is my first time vaping and it's ok so far. I am noticing that my 510 almost seems to have too much TH. Right now my mouth and lungs just feel a bit dried out. Some pulls are smoother than others, but most are kinda harsh. I'm not sure about the ingredients of what I have, but I ordered some Dekang Cool Menthol 24mg... Maybe the 24mg is too much?

vaping is very dehydrating. Drink lots of water. I used lots of SF honey lemon cough drops. That seemed to help too.

Water, water, water... Also 24mg may be to high if you are getting to much TH.. What kind of a smoker were you? Besides 510 what kind of a PV are you using?

24 IS A LOT FOR MONTHOL.
sry on caps. anyway, try french inhaling half of the draw then sucking down the rest. and yes water water water. Thats how I started chewing gum.

There is an adjustment period. Drink more water. Maybe add a couple drops of VG to your juice. Not a lot. You can pick it up in Walmart in the pharmacy section.

I used to smoke a PAD, Newport 100s. Figured the 24mg would be okay, but maybe it is too much? Seems I've refilled my cartridge at least 5 times today...

Frequent topping off is normal. Use candy, mints, or a lubricating mouth spray like biotene to keep your mouth moist. No matter how much water you drink, you're not drinking enough. It's very dehydrating.

PG tends to do this to me. I am not sure if I am partially allergic to it or what, but sometimes the TH can be pretty harsh for me as well and it irritates my throat on inhale/exhale. Perhaps you, like many people, have a slight aversion to PG. I am now vaping a sample bottle of pure VG juice, and it is not giving me any problems at all, no harsh/irritating TH.

The 24mg nic might also contribute to that as well, along with the menthol.

That Blu disposable e-cig, that I started vaping with (while I waited for my Sidesho kit to ship), actually made my throat bleed a little bit. I know, because I started coughing-up bloody phlegm (eww) for the entire duration that I used it --and I wasn't even sick at the time either.
Then, as soon as I stopped using that thing, it went away.

Even real cigarettes never did that to me. Nor does the Sidesho.

Conclusion? Eff Blu.

I've been running into this problem with PG juice lately..it doesn't "hurt" or anything but the vapor just feels really dry and unsatifying. I'm thinking that I'm done with 100% PG from now on unless I have no other choice.

The first few days of vaping, my throat really hurt. I went down to 18 mg. and it was better. Now after 3 months of vaping I am using 12 and 6 mg.

Propylene glycol is a humectant so it will dry out your throat and lungs. Also, 24mg is definitely on the high end. I've been vaping a 24mg PG liquid for the better part of the day myself and I can definitely feel it. Aside from what everyone else has posted about drinking lots of water, if you are finding it unpleasant perhaps try a VG based liquid and/or lowering the nicotine content.
