Welcome to the forum and vaping, hopefully the above recommendations solve your sore throat problem.
Nice first order, can see why you're in a position where you don't want to order more for a while! lol.
But you may want to consider getting a back up for the vamo at your earliest possible convenience,
if it was to fall out of your hand and smash on the floor you might be left without a device to vape with.
I purchased a couple ego batteries as back-up for my Provari a few weeks into vaping. I never really have needed
them but they're nice to have laying around with different flavours on them for variety. They'll do in a pinch if the unspeakable happens.
To reiterate what some others have said try a lower voltage/wattage and take larger mouth inhales.
The Chinese juice can be quite harsh, I personally don't/can't vape it at all.
Oh and BTW. you did not make a mistake at all imo. there is always a little trial and error in the beginning
it comes with the territory. It'd been a mistake if you did what I did and ordered 4-30ml bottles of different tobacco juices
right in the beginning for over a hundred dollars, THAT'S a mistake!
You are doin' pretty good imo. Congrats on switching to vaping and ditching the stinkies!

I don't know if I missed a post or not, but it would be helpful to know what OHM head are you using, and at what voltage/wattage?
I also disagree with diluting your juice with VG. Get some of the same juice, but at 12 mg, or 18 mg strength and mix it with your 24 mg juice. That way, you won't cut the flavor.
When ! first started vaping, it seemed harsh. I think many people experience this. Vaping is a bit different from smoking cigarettes, and there is a small learning curve.

First off -- don't hit so hard! When I first started I was hitting my ecig like I would an analog and thought my head was going to come off!! Eased back on the strength of the hit I was taking and it solved the prob for me -- and, yes, I also vape at 24mg; sometimes 36mg... I do like my nic... 
The dilution is a good idea... Another idea, since it looks from your list of goodies that you have, indeed, jumped in feet-first look into getting into DIY on your juice too... That way you can control everything about it from the strength of the flavor to the nic level...

As far as hardware you don't really need all that much -- a few syringes and some bottles mostly... That will all depend on how "mad scientist" you want to get...

I know I am new to rebuildables but I've researched for weeks before I ordered it n found just about every way to wrap a coil. Then de decided the easiest way to do it. I rolled the coil and there was no hot spots and all glowed evenly except the bottom coil that connected on the ground wouldn't light at low volts. I picked it and gradually stepped up the volts n got it working but I thought I was doing something wrong because of this problem so I switched to the vivi nova but still no dice
Ive also tried that because that is how i smoke cigs so ive tried both ways. I even tried holding it in my mouth for a little longer then inhaling. I might just not be used to the throat hit.
thats a good point that i overlooked... i did order one of my juices in 50/50 that i havent tried yet because i was unsure what mix to get so i hope that helps. I ordered 70/30 because thats what the majority of ppl get so IDK. Thx for the tip.
The first thing i did was switch the VAMO to rms mode or N02, but thx for the tip.

Thx for the words of encouragement, I was bummed from all the research i did n still had an unexpected problem but the trial and error makes it fun. Also thats a great idea about a backup that i have been thinking too, since i notice that most ppl buy double of everything. My wife was planning on buying me a mod for fathers day n I was thinking about getting the k100 or k101 so i can experiment with mech mods too. Plus mechs seem to be more sturdy and reliable (plus small and look cool). My dream would be to get a chi you but good luck to me affording that, especially with the resale value like its made of unicorn horn.
My vamo is reading 2.6 ohms, its the 2.4 ohm head on the vision vivi nova. I have been experimenting from 5 watts to 8.0 watts and 3.7 volts to 4.7 volts. Im leaning more towards watts right now

I think that was my problem!!! I was taking full drags on the pv not being used to the throat hit( mouth and lung). My plans are to try DIY to be able to experiment with what i like as far as ejuice goes. Plus the ammount you can make for the price is nice, if i can figure out a flavor i can use as an all day vape.
Lol responding to all these post makes me feel like I have been talking to myself for almost a page. oh well 
Around 7 to 7.5 watts seems good for me on a 2.4Ω head. Of course, it partly depends on the type of juice, and personal preference.
24mg is too strong for me also. You could always just add a little water to bring the mg down, just saying. Doesn't have to be pg or vg.
Congrats! I ordered a similar plethora of stuff for my first go around! I picked mostly 12mg juice, though. Sounds like your issue is readily fixable.
Yea its not a big deal i kinda just wanted to share my experience so any other new vapors can have the heads up. Im getting used to it but it would of helped of i had a vape shop near me to sample different things. It would of saved me a little money but oh well. The closest thing to me is mt baker vapor ( an hour away) but they say on the site that they are an online vendor only.
