Long story short I am a former dipper (for 48 hours now), I wasn't a smoker. I have been vaping hard and heavy to get through these last 48 hours, however I got my nicotine too low (10mg) thus I'm vaping like it's an oxygen tube and I'm underwater. This morning I woke up with that God awful lump-in-throat feeling, like when something is stuck or if you scratch it with a chip or something. Is this normal? I'm going through 2 clearos in 24 hours...

You don't say what yur PG/VG ratio is, but as a new vaper, you're vaping quite a bit of juice right away. I would say that you probably have a higher % of PG in your juice and you irritated your throat. Get some 18mg or 24mg juice to start out with and then adjust up/down until you find the right level for you. Having never smoked, your throat is not used to having nicotine thrown at it, either.

Too much PG gives me a sore throat. I'm currently vaping 3 to 4 ml a day of 50/50 pg/vg. 70/30 would be a real issue for me. 50/50 is noticeably thicker than 70/30, but I find it wicks just fine in the CE4 'Stardust' clearos I use (also VN's, Boge cartos and my old trusty eGo-C atties). If you try 50/50 and find you are getting burnt hits, adding a couple of drops of water will thin it out without noticeably changing the juice otherwise. Doesn't take much so don't add too much at once. You can add to the clearo, give it a good shake and try it before you commit to modifying a whole bottle of juice. Best of luck with it!
