Hi guys I have posted quite a lot as I am such a noob to this :D I just want to say what a great forum I have been able to solve every problem by using it. I have another question I have a 12mg of nicotine juice made by Jenson the flavour is redbolt, i got it from a corner shop near me. It does not say how much VG and PG is in it.

Anyway when I put it on my 1.2 coil smoking it at 10w I had the most awful throat hits ever I can not smoke it, it actually hurts my throat, I have read that PG is flavour and throat hit and VG is more for the cloud chasers, is it likely that the juice I'm using is very high in PG compared to VG. Ive had other juices that have been fine but they were like £10-£20 ejuices from a vapour shop. So I was thinking am I allergic to PG and should I go for a mix of around 70% VG?

I have but its stil awful, I primed the coils left them to sit for an hour. I have tried from 10w to 25 watts on 1.2 coil and from 15 watts to 30watts I can't smoke it

So i am gettting the feeling your mod cannot do less than 10 watts?
if it has voltage mode try lowest voltage.

if the wick is burnt too badly already, you can't unburn cotton

I expect what you are buying is not very good quality and this coupled with other factors is causing you trouble. It took me over a year to vape at even 8 or 9 watts. I find a lot of people point to finger at PG. PG can take some getting used to which is why even some users of 3-4 watt cig-a-likes have trouble with coughing.

So. Ideas.

1. Maybe avoid "corner shop" high PG liquid. (ouch...sorry) The fact they call it "oil" and charge £4.99 from their website tells us all we need to know.
2. try vaping lower power (unless you have no choice).
3. try some high VG liquid.

The last bottle of high VG I bought was £8 for 30ml. If your shops charge £10-£20, some online shopping makes sense.

I can vape Hangsen high PG and even vaped some 100% PG at Vapefest 2015. It took a while to get to this point though.

This. :thumb:

I've yet to buy an e-liquid from a gas station that was any good. Many e-liquids from real vape shops can taste terrible. Some from online stores can taste pretty bad, too.

Best advice is above. If within reasonable driving distance from a vape shop which offers free flavor testing, take advantage of this. If not, some online e-liquid manufacturers offer small sample kits for low cost to try their flavors. If you find a flavor you like, buy a larger quantity. Many online manufacturers mix your flavors to your demand: Pg/Vg ratios to your request.

Usually juices like that, that don't indicate pg/vg are around 70% pg or more. I also suspect that they use a cheap nic base. I am pg sensitive so, i don't vape anything that I don't know the contents of. Like Batitude said, there are many vendors that let you customize your juice, and because of that, they are usually more affordable.

Our Red Bolt shisha oil comes in a 10ml bottle and should last approximately 5 days depending on how often you vape. It is a premium oil and its flavour could be compared to popular energy and caffeine drinks.

Is that just what the nutty Brits call juice or are you actually vaping oils?!?!?!?


"Nutty Brits"...I myself have referred to it as an oil in the past due to it's very slick and oily appearance. However, no, a proper vape store or most stores for that matter call it e-Juice like you would expect. Also Vegetable Glycerin is a plant oil derivative so e-juice is essentially an oil based compound.

No. The problem with this 'brand' is that they don't know what they're doing. They appeared quite a while ago trying to make their millions selling junk for mega-bucks. Too many of these in the UK for my liking.
