E Liquids Harsh On The Back of My Throat?

[XxSleepyKittenxX]

I just got my Bloog MaxxFusion in the mail yesterday and got some blank cartomizers from Bloog along with some eliquids from Gourmet Vapor. The menthol cartomizers that came from Bloog don't seem to have a harsh feeling on my throat at all, but when I vape a blank cartomizer filled with my e liquid (doesn't matter which flavor, I have several and they all are like this) it burns the back of my throat a bit. Is this normal for certain e-liquids or is there another explanation? Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm thinking it might just have to do with the formula of the liquid.

What PG/VG ratio are the flavors from Gourmet Vapor? If they're high PG, that can explain the harsh feeling. You also need to make sure that the carto is full or that can be harsh on your throat, too.

Not a dumb question at all, and the only thing I can think of is your nicotine is perhaps a bit on the high side. The higher the nic level, the stronger the throat hit! Some juices can do this too! I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with Bloog! I'm sure someone familiar with this PV might be able to offer you some better suggestions!

It is not unusual, and even more so the more PG you have in your juice rather than VG, because PG is a well-known irritant.
You can get juice with a higher percentage of VG and it will smooth things out.

Also, drink a lot of water, because PG is a humectant, and it will dehydrate you.

The liquids are all 80% PG / 20% VG and 12 mg nicotine strength. I will try to fill the cartos a bit more too, I have been a bit cautious because I'm afraid of overfilling. I just looked up "throat hit" because I've heard people talk about it on here and it seems the burning at the back of your throat is desirable to some people. I've always smoked light cigarettes though so I'm not used to the sensation. Thank you all for the advice!

I'm not a big fan of TH, so I use juices that are either 50/50 or 60PG/40VG. Those work the best for me and I get only a very slight TH depending on the flavor I'm vaping.
